Hi All,
In 2013 I bought this spec below after a recommendation on the forums here. However the past year the computer has been running pretty slow, especially when it comes to gaming? I'm a photographer/graphic designer as my profession and play some games in my spare time such as apex, fortnite, elder scrolls online.
Which components would you recommend upgrading? Or is it just worth buying a whole new computer? (I don't really have a clue about specs which is why I am asking here)
Many Thanks,
Sam
