upgrading my pc

[deleteduser1535945]

my current pc specs are

i3 4130

h81s2pt mobo

4gb ram

hd 4400

1tb hdd

I was willing to upgrade the ram to 16 and get an ssd

will that be good enough to make it last for some years?

my usage is:

coding

youtube

light gaming

it doesn't lag when I open only one thing but when I multitask it become slow

if the ssd and ram upgrade will not be good enough

I will upgrade to

Pentium g4500 kabylake 3.5ghz

and 8gb of ddr4

the reason why I feel I should upgrade to kabylake is new technologies avillable in it like:

ddr4

m.2 ssd

usb type c

what do you think?

No.

First off, you're motherboard doesn't support m.2 or usb type c or ddr4 ram... Also NONE of these are kabylake exclusive. It would be alot easier if you could provide a pcpartpicker list in the future and give a budget for your upgrade. Upgrading to 16GB of ram would not be worth it in your system, you'd be much better off getting an SSD and GPU and if you still have some money left over or as a future upgrade purchase an i3-7100 or a i5-6500. I would suggest on buying a cheap 120/240GB SSD for windows and other software and a GPU like a GTX1050ti.

I know but kabylake is the newest thing that supports them

Upgrading from a haswell i3 to a kabylake Pentium is a sidegrade, not an upgrade. 

 

I'd just recommend grabbing a second hand 750 for the light gaming purposes (unless you feel iGPU is enough already) and upgrading your RAM to 8GB plus getting a SSD. Your i3 should be perfectly fine for multitasking in most scenarios so I'd suspect the 4GB of RAM being the limiting factor here

[deleteduser1535945]

you don't need m.2, unless you want blazing fast speeds that you can't feel and a bigger price tag. just get a standard sata ssd in the future and upgrade your ram, if you want cpu performance upgrade to an i5 or i7/xeon since the difference between haswell and skylake/kabylake isn't very big at all.

thanks I will do that

Don't bother with PCIe SSDs or anything fancy like that. They're really not needed, and most people won't even notice the ever-so-slightly faster performance. USB Type C isn't really used on anything right now, and honestly probably won't be for another couple of years. I'd say it'd be more useful to have a front panel USB C port for charging and data transfer from your phone...but USB C to Type A cables are cheap, and an easier solution.

• Upgrade to 8GB of RAM
• Grab an affordable 240+ GB SSD
• Grab a GTX 1050 or similar video card, if needed
• If you find you really need USB Type C, you can use an add in card

I wouldn't bother with 16GB of RAM. I honestly didn't notice a difference between 8GB and 16GB.

Yeah, 120GB is enough to store windows and a couple of programs on it  

 

Well a 750, 750ti, 950 (no 6 pin edition), 1050, 1050ti, RX460 ect. will all do the job decently. A used 750 will be the cheapest out of all of them so...if you're trying to spend as little as possible then get a used 750. (albeit you won't be gaming at 1080p ultra or high...but a 1050 struggles with ultra anyway so...)
