[Closed] (How) would you upgrade my PC?

flyingmonkeycorps · 2020-09-08T10:30:04Z

I bought a desktop PC years ago - round about 2013. It was decent mid level, i5 processor, 16gb of RAM and a Radeon 5500 graphics card. It's done me alright, I've added a 1tb ssd but apart from that not changed anything. It's now getting a bit creaky - I use Photoshop and Lightroom (and occasionally edit some video), I'm learning Blender and very occasionally play games (I'm after playing Beyond a Steel Sky at some point, but otherwise mostly older stuff is fine, I have tons on my Epic and Steam accounts). Is it worth upgrading? Not sure what the motherboard is off the top of my head, but am I likely to be able to whack in a more modern processor and graphics card? Maybe faster RAM? And if so what should I be looking at? Don't want to spend a ton (if it comes to that I'd sooner invest in a decent laptop) so bargain recommendations much appreciated.

Good purchase, the 1070 is a solid graphics card.
