I bought this PC 5 years ago, today it struggles a bit on some games that require a lot of CPU. The graphics card is doing pretty well.
I'd like to update it, starting with the CPU, and switch to AMD, for better compatibility with Linux and notably to be able to encode videos more easily, I often edit long +4K videos.
Do you have any advice? The aim would be not to change my motherboard. And for the new components to last 5 years too? You can also advise me on graphics cards.
The cheapest thing you could probably do would be upgrade to 32GB RAM at a faster speed like 3200mhz or higher. Your mobo sypports up to 64 GB 4400mhz it looks like. I think the extra ram would help your video processing as well.
The other thing is if you are looking to swap to AMD chipset you HAVE to swap mobo as the sockets are not compatible.
