Upgrading my Gaming PC (lemmy.world)

Hello everyone.

My 10 year old computer is not compatible with windows 11 and so I was wondering whether to upgrade Mainboard and CPU to something cheap (I guess not many are worse than my 2014 Intel i5).

I don’t see how much specs are important for changing these parts. My Power unit is capable of -800W and I‘ve got enough Y-Cables to connect all my 6 fans 2 ports if necessary. Btw it’s only ever being used for gaming. Do you have any suggestions?

^This...

mines still a decent gaming rig that can play Skyrim, gta v on ultra settings but doesn't meet windows 11 requirements. So Decided to Install kubuntu and all works well. And I'm glad I did, not throwing away a good working still capable hardware.

Just for reference my specs are:

i7 3770K.

Asus sabertooth z77 motherboard.

2tb ssd.

32gb ram.

Msi rtx3060 12gb vram.

Been running kubuntu for 1 year 2 months and thanks to steam for supporting linux (via proton)

Also play wow (using lutris)
