Upgrades to Lee's gaming PC

Lee from Aldershot bought a mid-range computer hoping to impress his son, but the machine's performance was very disappointing. Slow, choppy and unable to play any game at reasonable resolution was frustrating. Lee took the computer to Currys PC World for an upgrade, and they sold him GTX 1650 graphics card and sent him on his way. While this is an excellent entry-level card, it did not do the job. Lee turned to Custom PC Genie for help to find out why. After a quick investigation, we identified a CPU processor bottleneck. While the graphics card choice is fine, the underpowered AMD A-10 would never be up to the gaming task. Secondly, and an old mechanical hard drive is like driving with a handbrake on. We tailored the computer upgrade to fit Lee's budget and set to replace the motherboard, CPU and add ultra-fast 1TB M.2 storage.
