I'm been thinking of upgrading my PC, I actually bought it from a recommendation here in these Forums, and its been working pretty great honestly. I been using to play Dolphin emulator and games like Fortnite and Fall Guys, as well as for using Photoshop and editing some videos. I mean, I been getting more mileage out of this thing than I have any right to, but now that I have money to play with I think I should upgrade it a bit. Here are the Specs:
Dell Precision Workstation T3500
Intel Xeon X5650 SLBV3 2.66GHz/12M/1333MHz
MSI Graphics Card Radeon RX 580 Armor 4gb
Corsair - CXM (2015) 450W 80+ Bronze Semi Modular
1 TB Internal Hard Drive
500 Samsung SSD
12 GB Ram
I know, I know, its not the most impressive set of specs, but I had a budget of $300 when I first bought the parts to build the PC. Initially, I just wanted to buy a case for it, like those LED light shows gaming rigs always have, since the Dell Workstation tower isn't the most appealing. But also because I haven't been able to completely close the tower since day one, which can be messing with the whole systems airflow. Though its been hard to find a proper tower, since the motherboard is quite large, I think its an EATX, honestly I'm thinking I should ditch the T3500 Motherboard altogether, for maybe something better. Though I don't know what motherboard would be a good idea to get instead, that would be able to support the other parts, I'm guessing I would have to change the CPU as well. In the end of the day, the only things I think would be salvageable for the next build would be the Graphics Card, Ram, SSD, Hard Drive, and Power Supply, (feel free to tell me if you think otherwise). Anyways, I need your help with recommendation of what to change and upgrade to, since I'm not someone whose aware of the ecosystem. Some advice, would be greatly appreciated, Thank You.
