Thank you for the insight. I'm using the older version of the Captain 240 and I would like to keep using it. It has been keeping my CPU cool for some years but it hasn't lost its touch

Quick question though, should I change to an AM4 motherboard, can you provide a link to a replacement part for my current ones?

Wellllllllllllll I'mmore on the not high-end of the spectrum soooooooooooooo HAHAH thanks.

Did the things you need to install an AIO to an intel board changed over the years? Is the bracket for a 4th gen same with a 10th gen?

Wow. I didn't realize, I'll see the costing. I hope there are aftermarkets so I can save a few $$$

Discussion: I'm on a tight budget and I'm planning to upgrade to a 4 core 8 thread CPU. I currently have a 4570 which has a 65w TDP. Runs 3.2-3.4Ghz I need to consider my Captain 240 AIO (Non-EX) bracket that's why I'm torn between upgrading between Intel or AMD. Here are my options: Option 1: I could upgrade to a 4790k which won't require me to upgrade my board and will save me a lot of money but it'll have a higher TDP of 88w which runs at 4-4.4Ghz. Expected cost: Php 4,500 or around $90 Option 2: I could upgrade to an i3-10100F then buy a decent gaming 1200 board and DDR4 16GB 3xxx RAM which will future proof me should I need to upgrade my computer. But, it might take me a while before I can buy it. Like a good while haha. Expected cost 19,000 or around $390 Option 3: I could upgrade to an AMD Ryzen 3300X, buy a decent gaming AM4 board and 16 GB DDR4 3xxx RAM. Again, future proof. And will only cost me around Php 16,000 or $330. BUT Freaking but, I'll have to scour the internet for an AM4 Bracket and brace for my COOLER LMAO. PEOPLE OF THE TECH COMMUNITY!!! HELP ME I'M TORN. I WANT AN UPGRADE!

What's the board?

With all due respect, I did not directly say that 1060 supports SLI

Apologies for that, by perfomance what I mean to say is features. Edited!

Trust us. Do et. Ahaha. Also, it's nice to think about aesthetics as well. To me personally, it took more than a month to plan the whole computer both performance wise and aesthetically.

TBH, IMO, you need a hard drive don't you think?. And if you're going to build in a mid or a full tower case, better get an ATX not a motherboard with an M in it. It usually, more likely that it's an mATX. You'll get more FEATURES** with a better board and better future proofing should you decide to SLI. IMO.

You're my hero.

Thank you very much for the responses. Good day everyone! I'm more comfortable upgrading my friend's pc now. "side grading" if you may.
