Hardware upgrades on 12 year old stationary PC

[[TC]►Dizzle◄]

I fully support what you are trying to do. Upgrading old PC's used to be something I did for fun.

Just FYI - You can catch some businesses or schools and such getting rid of good computers when updating their systems. The last one I bought was an I5 system for $100 USD. I popped in an ssd and a 7 series gpu and its super capable for barely any money spent.
