Hey everyone, I'm Nani, and I've just started using my PC again after two years of it sitting in a box since I got it built in 2020. I want to get back into gaming, but I'm feeling a bit lost on where to start. I definitely know that some parts need upgrading, and I'd really appreciate any guidance. My budget is between $500 and $700.
I'm not sure what my motherboard is—I've looked on Steam and GeForce but can't pinpoint it. Here are my current specs:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3400G with Radeon Vega Graphics
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 1650
- RAM: 16 GB
Also, I have no idea how to upgrade to Windows 11 since I'm still on Windows 10. If anyone has advice or tips to offer, I'd be super grateful. I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed here, so any help is appreciated! Let me know if you need more info or if I should share any pictures of my PC!

First off, get Windows 11 installed! Your PC can handle quite a few games at 1080p on lower settings without requiring upgrades. Once you have Windows 11 up and running, make a list of your parts on pcpartpicker.com and share it here. That way, we can help you figure out the best upgrades for your budget.
Just head to Microsoft's website to download the Windows 11 installation tool. It'll guide you through it!
Awesome, I’ll do that! Thanks for the suggestion!
