Hey Guys,
A friend recently gave me an old (ish) gaming pc and was wondering what people thought of the spec and any recommended upgrades?
I know some of the parts are good but also some are probably quite old or outdated as he had it for a while before me, Ideally, I want to play more modern games on it such as GTA V, Kingdom Come Etc. I am not too fussed about any sort of 4k gaming really but I am looking to run those sort of games at pretty decent settings with mods.
Any help/advice would be great, even if it's to tell me to start from scratch
