Hey all,
I have recently opened up my decade old pc after lying idle for 2 years.(Probably purchased it somewhere in 2009 / 2010). After reading across various threads here and other updates in general I am now looking for upgrade.
Now I have some catching up to do w.r.t games. I am really not looking to play at ultra settings for AAA games.
I will probably be doing the upgrades in a phased manner, but ideally this phase should last till early 2020, I will probably be doing main upgrades then.
