I picked the worst time to need a new PC. The Alienware X51 I’m currently using was great as a low-to-mid range gaming PC when I purchased it in 2014. But now? Not so much.

My biggest reason for wanting to replace it is because my i3 Intel processor can’t run Windows 11, which means I’m stuck on Win 10 which Microsoft stopped supporting last year. Unfortunately, the price of RAM is pricing me out of being able to quickly afford an upgrade.

All I can do at this point is save money and try to maintain my current PC for as long as possible.
