dun

glad it wsnt sa newegg prebiild link, people have nothing but problems with those.

It's a decent upgrade for an 8-year-old system. I'd up the ram from 32GB to 64GB but that's just a personal choice.

there's no reason to have that much ram!

I assume it can handle Win11? that's the most important feature you'll need

Windows 11 is a step down from Windows 10 in my opinion

windows XP was the best

we´ve 16gb and need more occasionally, feeling the slow down from the editing & pages open...

32gb ram if you´re upgrading for first time in 8 years :thumbsup

i5? We are at i9 now.

You are upgrading from an 8 year old to a 4 year old system.
I would renew everything.
Always great to have a new fast system you use every day for many years.

Can't say I'm a particular expert but yeah it looks OK. You didn't tell us what your key uses are.

Plenty of reasons to have 64GB.

i5 13600k is 13th gen.. it released oct 2022. i5 is a different cpu family than i9

The last computer I upgraded has a 13700k in it, it's pretty good.

Totally agree.

OP, depends on the use case. For anything with visual media creation (photo or video), I'd go for 64GB+ of RAM. For almost any other use, that is already plenty.

some people buy their computers at Best Buy :1orglaugh

i also do upgrate on my Lenovo G480 I5 i bought last 2014
i just change my HDD to SSD for 100 bucks

instead buying new lenovo laptiop i5 costing $1500

No Alienware?

Depends what the system is being used for i5 may be enough

You don’t need an i9 for normal daily tasks those who say you do are just wrong or misinformed some people get the i9 just because they want the latest and top of the line when it’s nowhere near needed

worst ever, they are so bloody loud, playing any decent game it will sound like an airplane taking off.

for the amount you spend, you could build an equal or a better system
