I had a computer that was 8 years old and used Windows 7 and I needed to update badly since the OS wasn't supported by Microsoft any more.With those old computer specs, the system seem pretty outdated and a lot of the new games these days require Windows 8.1 or newer and the hardware that I had in my old computer won't run any of the modern games.So I decided it was time months ago to buy a new computer, but had to delay a little bit because of the pandemic. I really took a lot of time researching what would be a great but still quite affordable. Ultimately, I finally decided to go with this computer because with the hardware it has, I may not need a new computer for a really long time. Just maybe I will put in another HDD, but that should be about it as I don't think I have any plans to do any hardcore streaming.
