Would appreciate if any experts can advise on how to upgrade my 10 years old system which I occasionally upgrade parts by parts over the years. Recently has been lagging and hearing loud noises from my CPU during running some games or videos, unsure if its from GPU or processors or RAM.
Currently use my PC mainly for google browser, creating simple website, microsoft office, occasional short video video editing, gaming like Dota/MMO/Genshin.
Budget RM5000-6000. I am thinking of upgrading my processors, MOBO, RAM but any advise is welcome. I am stuck with compatibility issues as the rig is rather old. Thanks in advance.
Intel® Core i5-4670 CPU @ 3.40GHz

change to latest GPU rtx4770ti or rtx4990
maximize ddr3 slot with siimilar model, clock & frequency if you can still find in the market
upgrade storage size 2tb
if you using cpu fan cooler, just change the fan or buy new cpu cooler
install win11 then good to go for next coming years
