i want to upgrade my diy if it makes sense...i worked with pchelpforum 7 years ago to build my desktop and it worked out fine...i think it might be time to upgrade. I have a desktop with an intel 9450 chip, 4 gig of memory and a 1T western digital harddrive. i use an Asus p5ql pro motherboard. I am only using 200g on my hhd. I do not do gaming. I 'clone' my HHD about 4 times a year to be sure that if I have a hard drive crash I can just swap out hard drives. I'm currently running windows 10....I run CCleaner and malwarebites on a regular basis.
My questions are as follows:
1. if I increase my memory to 16g, the max for the mobo, will my pc do better?
2. if i change to a 500g SSD will that increase speed? I know it will.
3. should I change out my mobo and cpu? That's the real question.
4. I'm 73 years old...don't think I'm going to be 'surfing' too many more years.
All comments and recommendations gratefully received.
have a good day,
