I've mentioned here before how I've wanted to upgrade my almost 4 years old pc to something nicer, but I'm very against changing stuff for luxury instead of replacing things that no longer work, and it lasted for 3,5 long years, fortunately. The funniest part is that the upgrade hype really kicked in because my power supply broke.
So as I'm very invested now in getting some things in better shape I thought it might be funny to document the changes and see the final result vs the start!
And here's a special thank you for my lovely commissioners who support me and make it possible for me to enhance my work tools/work space!! 💖
Starting by my original configurations that are soon to change:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-10400F;
Asus PRIME H410M-E DDR4 LGA1200;
T-Force Vulcan Pichau 16GB DDR4 3600MHz red (2x, only 1 originally);
Afox GeForce GTX 1050TI 4GB;
Lexar NS100 128GB 2.5" Sata III;
HD Toshiba P300 1TB 3.5" Sata III;
Mancer Thunder 500W Bronze 80 Plus (it broke and i bought the exact same, bc it worked long enough);
Mancer Fans 120mm Z100 in blue, green and red (i was so dumb choosing those fr);
Cabinet Pichau Gaming Kronen;
The whole setup costed exactly R$4,000 in February 2021 (around $750 at the time), it was custom settings and the store put it together before sending my way.
You served me well old friend 🫡
Right now I'm planning to make long term upgrades, starting by aesthetics and then weaker parts. Great news is that my computer is really well kept and all it's parts are in good condition, so I'll sell the old ones here in my country after upgrading
I'm aiming at a pleasant white and black PC with aRGB LEDs, inspired by my goal video card RTX 4060 Aero OC Gigabyte 8GB, I want to make a beautiful (and strong) setup!
Plans are: cabinet and fans are already bought, I'll buy the video card on black friday and, after I'm done paying it, a new motherboard + CPU and possibly new vRAM next year around second semester (depending on my financial situation).
