So I can basically use the HDD from my old setup which is a nice 2TB HDD and then I can get the Windows with it at as well so I save the extra £100 ? Would that work?
You download windows installer from Microsoft (free) and use your existing key to license it. If it’s windows 10, then you can tie the license to your Microsoft account ready for when you reinstall.So I can basically use the HDD from my old setup which is a nice 2TB HDD and then I can get the Windows with it at as well so I save the extra £100 ? Would that work?
Just to reiterate though, there's absolutely nothing wrong with your current PC, you're not going to see any improvement with this one.I'll do that and save another £100. So will go with the RADEON 550 4GB as GPU. And will wait for new one to come out and I'll upgrade then same as with monitor.
And that should be it for a good few years I hope.
For gaming literally zero difference.I don't like it at all, the CPU you saying my i5 7400 is same as RYZEN 7 3800x ?
You need to address your current pc, not replace it, it’s just crazy.Well yeah, it's really slow, I hate the case, not enough airflow in it, I just want a brand new pc with a decent case and components that I know they gonna run decent for a few years, with maybe a few upgrades when needed.
That's the main reason.
But none of that needs replacing that's the whole point.By the time I'm gonna change the case, motherboard, cpu, gpu add RAM and buy new SSD that's just the same thing as building new one.
For gaming at 1440p absolutely no difference.but I also want to upgrade to the AMD CPU, much better than the i5

With each generation you get a performance jump, normally about 20%, so normally the 4770xt is replaced by the 5670XT and so on. And hence the price reduces for equivalent performance (but more features).Hi guys, in regards to this new AMD Radeon GPU card, do we know roughly like how much will it cost? For example for like the 8GB version of it? Would it be around the £400 mark? Same like the 5700 XT ? Is that the reason you suggested not to get the 5700 XT and wait? Thanks, let me know.
That's a 1080p monitor which would be very poor for this level of build, this is a 1440p build.
Check out this MSI monitor, I'm planning on ordering it as it seems good value for money.
