Hey guys, I got my PC as a birthday present back in 2017 and it's pretty dated now with specs that can't hold up in most modern games, so I'm looking to upgrade it. There are so many problems with it currently, whether it be the OEM motherboard, 8GB of 2000mhZ RAM or the shitty 1050.

Any suggestions on how I could bring the price own a bit (I live in Australia, it's in USD, lol) and any general thoughts? Trying to go with a white theme. Will be doing work on my server via RDP, playing a few steam games, a bit of minecraft, definetly a lot of 1080p video editing (willing to switch to 4K though lol, just didn't have the specs to) and a bit of Photoshop and After Effects. Also would like to be able to open more than 3 chrome tabs without getting lag in Minecraft, haha.

 

Any help is appreciated,

Spencer

It's in AUD, so it should be the same price as yours if not cheaper.
