when to upgrade

ok speccy didn’t pick up my second drive wich is a seagate barracuda 2TB HDD. but it croaked a few days after install waiting for an rma

Is this a system that you built or had built by ASUS?

As @Pyro stated and I have stated no need to waist money.

With that caveat out of the way, what are you planning on doing with your computer? Why do you want to upgrade? An 11th gen i7 and 30 series GPU will stream content and play video games no problem, if you already have that system I wouldn’t waste your money - quite frankly.

Unless you are starting to notice a failure someplace there is no reason to upgrade.

Unless something that you are wanting to run requires better specs than you currently have no real reason to upgrade.

So many variables that come into play when upgrading. If you upgrade this or that are the other parts combatable.

If it is dead remove it from the system to prevent damage to the system. Which also explains why the report did not show it especially if Windows cannot see it.

the system i ran speccy on is the system i built. the asus one the psu blew up and i threw it out. i did remove the dead HDD. i agree with pyro plus also doing small upgrades costs$$$ and there’s np wow factor i’m good for what i use it for there alot of pc smoothness and it’s well balanced!!!

I’ll just put money into a new OLED display at the end of the year and get rid of my old samsung. it seems that i would get more out of a nicer display since i have a decent card

If you’re gaming a 144 Hz monitor is a nice upgrade, but you have what appears to be a nice 4k monitor, depending on what games you play I’d be tempted to stick with that even.

Be careful with OLEDs, they’re more suceptible to burn-in than IPS screens.
