Right now i have a pre-build i got from ebay quite some time ago but its a Frankenstein of parts to say. I want to get a better pc but i cant get a job due to parents saying no and im quite busy theses days. I wish i could do something from home to gain experience but im not sure what? also what are some things to avoid when upgrading, this time i wont go for a pre-build. I do have a little bit of cash but nothing special that will get me anywhere in terms of a pc.

If you have any further questions leave a comment.

This. My PC is a ship of Theseus 15 years in the making. At this point, it doesn't have any part from my very first build because I finally changed my old-ass PSU and case (finally got one that has easily cleanable dust covers everywhere) with my last upgrade, although I still have my old 250 GB SSD that was my top-of-the-line system drive back then but I couldn't be arsed to plug it in for that amount of storage. Also still have my old 1 TB HDD that's still going strong, but I don't really trust it anymore since it's that old, and my newer SSDs are as big or bigger, so right now I don't have the need for it
