After a long time I decided to upgrade my work PC. Since everything was configured and working perfectly, this decision was postponed a few times…
Just to be clear, I’m not a gamer! This PC is intended for general use, designing schematics, PCBs and programming. Therefore, heavy graphics are not needed.
It was an Intel Core i3-3220 with 2 sticks of 8 GB DDR3 RAM.
The new system is AMD, my first time with this brand.

It is a big difference in performance, boot time, application launch and system robustness.
The components were carefully selected, not the entry-level versions, in order to last for a few years more.
I am really satisfyed with the results!
