Operating system selected: Windows 10
Downloaded drivers: GPU and PSU for motherboard
These drivers are crucial; they won’t work properly if the disks are outdated when you get them.
I don’t understand the type of PSU you have since I colored it for appearance, but there’s a label on the back that says “Pentium Ready.”
Consider a fresh PSU, a 650-watt model would suffice. At your price range, at least 80+ Gold ratings are recommended. The Seasonic G550watt works well, but for your budget you might need a few more watts. The Seasonic X series and Cooler Master V series are solid alternatives. A useful tool to have is Ccleaner, which simplifies the cleaning process compared to manual methods. It handles everything efficiently and offers options for various tasks. If you prefer not to scan specific registry entries, or if you don’t want to delete temporary files, that’s fine. The program performs well overall. You can find drivers on the manufacturers’ websites for your motherboard and graphics card. Also, make sure to update your BIOS—check your motherboard manual for details. Updating the UEFI/BIOS is crucial as it can fix bugs and ensure proper startup.
Free options available: PCDecrapifier when your hard drive gets messy. Razer Game Booster helps eliminate extra background processes and records gameplay. GeForce Experience offers the best game configurations and lets you download drivers from there.
