Hello everyone.

My 10 year old computer is not compatible with windows 11 and so I was wondering whether to upgrade Mainboard and CPU to something cheap (I guess not many are worse than my 2014 Intel i5).

I don’t see how much specs are important for changing these parts. My Power unit is capable of -800W and I‘ve got enough Y-Cables to connect all my 6 fans 2 ports if necessary. Btw it’s only ever being used for gaming. Do you have any suggestions?

    In the last three months, I maybe booted into my windows drive three times? Twice to play Siege and once to flash a firmware update for a particular device. Windows is increasingly irrelevant to gaming, and I’m loving it.

      Yep, Linux gaming has really come on leaps and bounds in the past five years. All my steam games run perfectly with Proton, and the native support for PS/Xbox controllers has been flawless.
