Forget an overpriced new GPU or a whole new build. Make a savvier upgrade.
. The positive side to all this is that hardware has improved in leaps and bounds in recent years, after quite a few generations of unimpressive growth. That means that if you're still sitting on an aging PC, a couple targeted upgrades could go a long, long way.
I realize there's a lot of technobabble in that first sentence, so if you don't really know what"PCIe Gen 4" means or understand the minutia of NVMe vs. SATA, that's okay.

It's not as flashy an upgrade for gaming as a new graphics card, but for day-to-day computing, nothing will improve your PC more.

You'll get maximum benefit from a new SSD on one of those platforms.Your CPU is 5+ years old$320 for CPU, $100 - $200 for motherboard Nothing excites us PC gamers like making the leap to a new generation of hardware, which I just advocated for in the SSD tip above. It's an expensive proposition right when that new tech first comes out: DDR5 RAM was overpriced and nearly impossible to get ahold of a year ago, but it's now easy to find and not
