Currently using Alienware laptop, have a basic desktop (last built 2018) which need advice on upgrade or buy fully new system, till now it was just a spare system but now plan to use a desktop so looking for a decent config.
Problem is I live near Sea, so the mostherboard / PSUs fail fast.. my current Mobo has only 1 USB port working & same happened to previous ones...
Thanks in Advance
