Lately i been thinking its about time to upgrade my desktop pc for a better one, since my pc is very slow with a simple scene with a glass material can tak up to 3 minutes on normal settings.
I only have a budget of $370 i know its a really low amount but im just wanting something with a basic gpu(not intel integrated)
Is it possible to do or should i slowly upgrade the one i have?
The only information i have on it is that it has a intel® celeron® cpu j1800 @ 2.41ghz 2.41ghz
Inspirion 3646 (i think)
It’s really hard, but you can assemble it, the only thing to do is to find a place where you can buy for a cheaper price the same components in the Entry section on http://www.logicalincrements.com
I know it’s over your budget, but you can look around to see if you can find these components at a cheaper price, 8GB of RAM is minimum, and I won’t cheap out on the PSU. Alternatively, you could buy the R3 2200G for $96 instead of the R5 2400G and get a brand new 1TB Western Digital Blue HDD too.
Forget about upgrading your current computer, the motherboard socket only allows you to buy marginally better CPU (all Celeron class), and, considering it’s a pre-assembled, it’s not clear if the BIOS would allow you to use a different CPU than the one it’s shipped with.
No, it wouldn’t. It’s the socket that matters here. And the socket is a FCBGA(Flip chip, Ball Grid Array) - so unless OP knows a reballer - that CPU is soldered to the motherboard.
It’s basically a very low power laptop but without a battery or integrated peripherals such as monitor, track-pad and keyboard. Oh and it’s in a desktop/tower style mini-itx chassis.
