Hello everyone! In 2021 I got my first job ever and stayed for a month or two in order to afford a PC and to prove a point to myself after buying a broken RX 580 online and having to return it. After getting this first job I found this listing for a second hand machine for around 300 dollars and decided on it.

At that time the specs were as follows

I3 10100, RX 570, ONE stick of 8gb ddr4, a cheap h410m-d motherboard and a segotep 600w psu.

Coming from an i3 4170 (i think) and an gtx 750ti this was massive in my eyes at the time)

After years of running the system as is, however adding 16 gb of ram close to when i first got it, this year i started feeling it go soft of me and due to how much this pc means to me i decided to keep it and upgrade it for the first time ever.

Right now it’s running an i7 10700f, an rtx 3060ti and the rest of the specs are the same. Given what i had to work with, what do you all think?

I am planning on adding some case fans in the close future, and then i think i can finally rest. How long do you think the lifespan of my PC will be before starting to go soft on me?
