Hi Friends
i was thinking about upgrading an old desktop of mine for my dad. He hasn't had a personal computer for a while and has been using his work laptop for the past couple years. He wants to use the computer for personal entertainment and work related things (CAD).
The build is from 2010 and is as follows:
Processor: AMD Phenom II X2 555 Black Edition Callisto Dual-Core 3.2 GHz
Motherboard: MSI 890FXA-GD70 AM3+ AMD 890FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard (The Motherboard I received was AM3. Linked is a more recent version)
PSU: Antec EarthWatts EA750 750W Continuous Power
VGA: XFX Radeon HD 5850 DirectX 11 HD-585X-ZAFC 1GB 256-Bit GDDR5
HDD: 1TB WD Blue
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
Given this build, what would you recommend I swap out or add for a value upgrade to last a few years?
Also what would you recommend be used to clean the interior. It's dusty and a friend of mine spilt his protein shake on/in it a few years ago when i lent it to him (everything still works)
Thanks
