Main PC finally died, have to convert my media server (made from parts) to a decent (no gaming) PC. I know it needs a better CPU, anything else I need to do?
- Mobo - Gigabyte H97-D3H-CF ver 1.0
- CPU - i3-4370 (thinking i5-4690, it only supports up to Gen 5 from what I'm reading)
- Ram - 8Gb Dual-Channel DDR3 (2x4Gb)
- video - Nvidia GeForce GT-610 (PNY)
- Boot drive is an AData SP600 (now), w/ 1Tb Data drive
cpu upgrade

There is no way we can tell whether or not that PC does or does not suit your needs, only you can know. It doesn't look that bad for light stuff and web browsing. Rather than asking for opinions actually tell us what is wrong with it currently and we might be able to tell you what you can do to fix it.
