I purchased a ready-made PC that's no longer available, so I need to verify its compatibility with SSDs, CPUs, and RAM.

You might check for signs on the motherboard or install hwinfo64. Open it in sensors mode. Continue scrolling and you'll find a header stating "Motherboard: brand model here"

What concerns you is the specifics of your setup. You mentioned it runs on an Intel 8th-gen CPU, likely a newer model with a BIOS update, though the performance gain might be minimal. If it's a prebuilt unit, it seems to be a budget H310 or possibly a basic B360 model. It uses DDR4 memory, likely capped at around 2666mhz, and connects via SATA 3 drives—something common for many systems. It also appears to have an M.2 NVMe port, which is a feature that has been around for over ten years.

Thanks for the update! I'm just getting started with PC specifications. Let me know if you need help understanding any of it.

It seems like these boards might be variations of the DS3 with minor differences in letters and numbers, possibly offering a lower price compared to the DS3H.

Seeing those Gigabyte board names always sends shivers down my spine. The random letters and numbers make me feel a strange mix of emotions, except for the "UD" ones which bring a light laugh.

Non-OEM options aren't completely bad for a budget board. A cheap board works well with an i5 or i3. OEM versions mainly limit unusual features and take away some functions that don't make much sense to cut.

Copy the system details into the start menu search and open it. Take a screenshot of the result.
