Hey, I'm thinking of updating or buying a new Gaming PC. mine is starting to crash /run a little slow after 4 years. these are the previous specs that served me well. any suggestion for updates/recommendation for a new build? my budget could maybe stretch to £1500. I need a machine that can multitask gaming/internet and videos simultaneously with lots of storage. I'm not overly tech savvy but I do want a machine to play games on high settings for the next 4-5 years. any help/ tips /builds withing budget appreciated
