Built this PC 3 years ago, have not used it in a year. What should I update before gaming again?
I built this PC myself about three years ago with the help of Reddit and YouTube. Somehow I managed to get everything working even though I know nothing about PCs. Fast forward to now, and I have not used it in about a year. I have forgotten most of what I learned when I built it.
I am not looking to upgrade anything because I cannot afford upgrades right now. I just want to make sure everything is up to date and running properly so I can start gaming again. I just play modded Sims 4😭.
I know I should probably update the BIOS, but beyond that I am not sure what I should check or update after a PC has been sitting unused for so long. I use a free Windows key, if that matters.
My Specs:
CPU
Intel Core i5 12600KF
Motherboard
ASRock B660M Pro RS
Graphics Card
PowerColor Hellhound AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT 8GB
Memory
Silicon Power Value Gaming 32GB DDR4

I appreciate any advice. Thanks.
