I'm trying to upgrade my very old PC, particularly the graphics card, since it's been struggling with modern games. I'm not sure how to find parts that will work with my system since I don't want to buy a whole new PC just yet. Is there a good website where I can input my system's specs and get compatible upgrade suggestions? I tried using PC builder, but it didn't seem to list my parts. For context, my current graphics card is fine in terms of performance, but when I play newer games, both my CPU and GPU overheat, causing my PC to crash. Recently, I had to give up on playing "PEAK" with a friend because of the crashes.

You can visit pcpartpicker.com/list to research components. Just remember to tell us what you currently have installed so we can assist better! It's important to ensure compatibility.
You should try using a tool like Hardware Info to get a detailed list of your current parts. Once you have that, you can share it here and the community will help you find cost-effective upgrades. Just keep in mind that if your PC is really outdated, it might be worth considering a new system for better performance in the long run.
Thanks for the advice! I'll check that out.
I'm figuring that out now, but it's been a bit tricky for me.
