Hi everyone!
I finally have some cash to maybe build / upgrade my old computer. I want it to be such that I can upgrade the parts in future as well; and not need a complete overhaul in the next 5 to 10 years! (I probably need to build from scratch as this is a pretty old one)
I need to open the case and give you the details of what all I have now right? I will do that in the coming posts, first let me get my screwdriver.
Q. Anything wrong with buying a 2nd / 3rd gen i7 rather than a 6th gen i3 or i5?
Q. I know Intel's perform better (I prefer them as well), but is AMD good enough for my requirements? Considering I need to keep the costs down as well.
Any more info you need?
