Before giving any recommendations to my friend Bob, I would ask him how much he is
willing to spend on the computer. Being a four-year-old desktop computer, it might require
quite a number of upgrades. However, if the budget of Bob is low, I would suggest him the
eSATA Serial Port Adapter Hard Drive, which will enable him to back up and store all the
entertainment media. It would cost him nearly $10.00 (Przesrnvcki et al., 2018).
As Bob’s computer has only one USB port, but he wants to use the USB scanner as well as
the USB scanner, I would suggest him to get the Adesso AUH-2040 4-Port USB 2.0 Hub. This
can support 4 devices at the same time and will prove to be beneficial for Bob. This would
could him around $15.99. Being compact and lightweight with a power-saving switch is an
added advantage. Now that Bob wants a better gaming experience too, I would suggest him
to buy the MSI GeForce GTX 1050. It is one of the best graphics cards when it comes to
gaming. It would cost him $170. Summing up all the costs, Bob will have to spend nearly
$196 in order to get all the required updates. I believe this a reasonable amount that Bob
can spend in comparison to investing more in buying a new system. It will be wiser for him
to make these updates rather than buying a new one.
