A lot changes in just over 4 years... In this video I upgrade a computer I built in early 2011 (Intel Core2Duo E8400, Gigabyte GA-G31M-ES2D Socket 775, 4GB DDR2 RAM, Windows XP) to a much more modern system using the parts listed below. Upgrading a computer is extremely similar to building a new computer, only it's cheaper (since you don't have to buy any part) and it requires removing some parts prior to installing new ones. Other than that, it's pretty much the same process. Is it time to upgrade YOUR computer?
