Your PC doesn't need upgrading at all.
It's perfectly capable of performing office applications, surfing the internet and checking email.
If you're having problems, it's probably that sad excuse for a PS "MAX Power".
You didn't mention what Linux distro you are running.

You're welcome...

* I'm assuming that's $5000-$7000 in US dollars, not Rupees or Rubles.
* Why would you want to spend that much on a machine that currently does everything you need?
* Have you thought of investing that money in Gold, Silver or Equities?
* We can produce a list of expensive parts if that's all you're looking for.

If it runs everything fine I would either recommend not upgrading anything, or adding a 64GB SSD to reinstall the OS on. When upgrading you would probably want to keep the drives and build the rest from scratch. That'll cost quite a bit more than what you can afford now.

I don't understand why you want to upgrade if your current PC runs everything fine. Save your money on a future system overhaul

:thumbsup: OP, your budget of $100-140 is too small to make a meaningful difference in any aspect other than maybe an SSD.

Didn't see the op wasn't in the US. Saw the first post and made my reply *which has been edited*. I guess I will have to read ALL posts from now on to see if someone else quoted the original post differently. Not sure why he changed his budget / location etc.
