Hey /g/ im new to the board here for some advice.
My cousin organised me my first pc around 4 years ago, it was probably a shitbox then and ive run it into the goddamn ground.
Heres some specs
>Gigabyte F2A85X-UP4
>AMD A8-66600K Radeon
>3.9GHz
>4gb ram feels like 1
>ran rig to shit for so long thermal paste disappeared
>replaced recently with toothpaste because hey something better then nothing right?
>Shitty fragmented 125gb ssd with indefinate trial win10 installed
>constantly full of shit for years can never seem to properly clean
> Slow as fuck 500gb ancient HDD full fucking shit
>Needs fan to be right next to box pointed directly on cpu or will overhead and shutdown.
>been that way for years
Shits falling apart and I'm a jobless incompetent depressed fuck, but goddamn I need my PC what do i do /g/
New CPU? Motherboard? Graphics card? SSD?
Get more ram, spend the $1 on some proper thermal paste, and do a fresh install of windows 7 on your SSD.

Ram is a cheap on Ebay, Anon.....probably would cost you more than $20.
Like the other Anon said repaste cpu and reinstall Windows.
That should sort it out.

Anon, Windows 8 and Windows 10 are awful Operating Systems. Botnet. That isn't the worst thing.......the UI in both of them is designed for Tablets.
Get some RAM, and wipe both drives (Install Windows 10) Reapply some thermal paste, and change whatever fans are broken. Don't forget to clean the case and do cable management.
You'll be good! Do it fast though. Don't be running your PC like this.
