Hi, I currently have a system as follows:
CPU 1090T AMD
AM3 motherboard which I believe has gone bad
4 sticks of DDR3 Ram (16Gb)
I mainly used it for office works and it was sufficient.
Now that I have to fix it, I'm wondering whether I should sell the CPU and DDR3 ram and instead build a system as follows (with approximate prices):
32GB DDR4 = £150
Gigabyte A320M AM4 = £50
1200 Ryzen 3 = £60
Not sure what I'll get from the old DDR3 and CPU 1090T on ebay, but let's assume £60 for now, so total cost for newish sytem £200.
I can reuse the other parts of the system (SSD, PSU etc)
If I stay with the old system it will cost me about £60 for a new motherboard - but that will mean less performance and reliability I suppose.
What do you think?
