What should I upgrade?

[TheGreatGamesby]

Hello, my birthday is in a few days and my parents are yelling at me because I haven't told them what to get me. Should I upgrade something in my pc? I got it exactly a year ago on my b day so I don't know what I should do. Sorry if this is the wrong topic or something I just shouldn't ask about.

A case with better ventillation and some fans? Otherwise there's nothing to change in your build.

Its a very powerful system and there is no need to upgrade if its full filling your requirements. You can get something else as a gift imo.

I wouldn't really want to change my case just because its a pain and I am still new to pc building. Thanks though

1TB NVMe drives have really came down in price, ditching the spinning disks for anything other than media and backup storage would be the only thing i can recommend. Otherwise, there's really zero reason to upgrade unless your hardware isn't up to the task of doing whatever it is you need it to.

Ive looked at that, how hard is it to move the os to another ssd?

No idea, I've always just taken the opportunity to reformat my windows partition. I don't store anything important on it so it takes like 10 mins to reinstall the OS and another 10-15 to turn everything off in Windows and get drivers and what not installed at most. I think Windows has backup and restore tools built in, if you have enough space on another drive you might be able to use that, no idea if it needs the entire drive or if you can just point the installer at it.

 

Usually the drive manufacturers have a tool if you're really interested in that but with the Sabrent the reviews say it sometimes doesn't work depending on the kind of drive you're migrating.
