My current system is:
ASUS M3N78-VM; CPU AMD 7750 Black Edition @ 1350MHz; System Memory 4096MB (2 x 2048 DDR2-SDRAM; BIOS Type AMI 0907, Date 01/13/2009; Address 1024kb; Bios AGESA: 3.3.1.0; Video Adapter PCI NVIDIA GeForce 8200 (Textured Mem: 1839 MB); Device Audio: ASUSTeK Computer MCP72XE..../MCP78S High Defintion Audio
Is the first system a lot better than the one I currently have?
Thanks
The computer system you want to buy has a much faster and much better performing processor(CPU) and graphics(GPU).
It also has 4 times as much RAM(16 GB vs 4 GB) which runs at a faster speed(DDR3 vs DDR2).
You will definitely notice the difference between the two.
It has a faster processor(CPU) and a solid state drive(SSD), so it should be noticably faster than the first computer you described.
Unfortunately, it comes in a Small Form Factor(SFF) case and not a larger Mini Tower(MT) case.
Besides it likely having a lower wattage power supply, it has less room inside for ventilation, so there's an increased risk of overheating.
Does the first one also come in a Small Form Factor case?
It's almost midnight here, so I'm shutting down for the night.
It looks like you've logged off or gone off-line anyway.
I'll check back here in the morning.
Acer is junk, so stay away from it.
I'm very familiar with the Dell OptiPlex 7010, but only with the Mini Tower case.
Unless you have a space issue or just prefer computers with small cases, you should stick with those with the larger cases.
Besides the inside of small cases being too cramped, they're at higher risk for overheating.
Which country do you live in?
I'm strictly an Intel user and know nothing about AMD Ryzen, so I can't comment on them.
There are hundreds of Intel Core i3 and i5 and i7 processors, and they have different performance ratings and prices.
You should ask a computer-knowledgeable family member or friend to help you select a replacement computer that fits your needs.
8 GB of RAM is good if you are only using it to surf the internet and not for gaming. If you plan to use it for video editings or gaming you may want to add another additional 8 GB or RAM or more.
The Dell OptiPlex 9020 Mini Tower comes with a 290W power supply.
The one you selected has a good processor, but it needs a better low-power graphic card for quality gaming.
I personally own 3 of them, but I don't game or do anything system-hungry with them, so they work fine for me.
