Hi ,
I'm replacing my PC - originally obtained from PC Specialist as it is now six years old and is starting to wobble.
I'm a basic user - not at all teccy - and use my PC for spreedsheets and word docs, web browsing and also as a hub for downloaded music files which I cast to a media unit. I also watch You Tube videos. I also burn Bluray and DVDs occasionally.
I've chosed a SS drive and a standard drive.
I'm really not sure about eithier the processor or graphics card - if they work together or if they will meet my needs.
I'm also not sure if I need to replace my monitor a Iyama ProLite E2208HDS which is also quite old but working well.
Do I need to add an additional fan with the three drives?
