I’m definitely no expert when it comes to computers. My honest answer that I would tell Bob
will probably buy a whole new computer. That is honestly my personal opinion. After a
certain amount of years computer start to get outdated.There was always some new
updates each year with every laptop or desktop. But ,in this situation as far as Bob looking to
upgrade an computer that has on with on port.You might as well just buy one of those usb
multi ports.That usually has about four ports. Price range for those run about $30- $80.As
far as adding more space to the desktop as far as memory. Bob can also buy an external
hard drive to multi port.I have asked actually bought one to use for my
PlayStation.Depending on how much memory that you may want.I personally prefer to get
something that has a good amount of memory.A 4 TB will cost any where from $60-
100.Since Bob uses a Windows eight for his gaming. He can get a XFX - AMD Radeon RX 580
GTS Black Edition 8GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card.As far as the total cost
everything was pretty much cost about $200.And this right here is to be decent. You can
obviously go cheaper than this if he wants.
So the first thing our friend Bob is going to need to get is a USB port hub so we can make all
of this possible. Once we have the USB Hub, we can then get a USB to eSATA adapter for
Bob to plug in the hard drive to back up his computer. We are looking at roughly $30 for a
decent USB hub that will provide enough hubs for any additional things Bob will want to use.
The USB to eSATA adapter will run us about $5. Now that we have the USB port Bob is also
able to plug in his printer. Without knowing all of the specifics for Bob's computer, and going
based off of this question alone, i am recommending he go with the Nvidia GeForce RTX
2070 Super. It is one of the best on the market today. The cost of it is significant at $499.00
but will provide Bob with a graphics card that will work for the foreseeable future. All in total
Bob is looking at an upgrade of around $535. I think with the upgrades needed Bob would
be better off investing this $535 into building a new computer himself. The reason being is
his onboard memory is low, and his processor is out of date. So even with the good graphics
card he will still have trouble running games.
