Hey there. I’m trying to decide whether to upgrade my current PC or go all new. I bought a gaming PC from Xotic PC around 2016-2017. Here are the details:

Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 1700X Eight Core Processor 3.40 GHz
Ram: 16.0 GB Dual-Channel @ 1064 MHz
Mother Board: Micro-Star Ltd x370 Gaming Pro Carbon
Graphics: G215HV (1920x1080@60Hz)
2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 MSI
Storage: 1863GB Seagate ST2000LX001-1RG174
238GB Western Digital WDC WDS256G1X0C-00ENX0

It seems like it should work well. I’m not using liquid cooling, and I know I’ll need a graphics card upgrade, but I’m unsure if other components should be replaced or just replaced with something new.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Sure, just let me know when you're ready to proceed! I might need a little more time. I'll make sure to gather all the details from your PC. Stay tuned! Thanks
