Hey everyone,

My name is InfernoGamer007 (but you can call me Nathan),

I am looking for recommendations to upgrade my PC to play a few more games then I do now but not break the bank. This PC was a Christmas gift from my father in 2016. This PC was a display model in his shop that he added the GPU and solid state drive into. His computer shop closed in 2018 after he was diagnosed with cancer and he passed away from the disease in 2019. Because the case includes a sticker from his shop on the front of it, I would like to keep it and just upgrade the interior components.

I don't have a massive budget, but I would like to bring the PC to be a bit more modern but I don't need a top end gaming rig by any means. I am not the most up-to-date with current PC hardware and was looking for recommendations of where to start and which upgrades would get me the most bang for my buck.

Thanks for taking the time to read my post LTT forums,

Nathan
