    Hows she cuttin folks, im new to the pc tech area and just looking for a bit of feedback on where to go and what not. I have always been stuck in front of a tv playing video games and would'nt mind having a crack at making my own. Iv been looking into courses but priority number 1 is the work station which is where my questions are.

    1. I have a dell desktop that is not being used it is about 9 years old is it possible to replace the old components with a new ones or would i need a new desktop altogether?

    2. what would be the best components to run hd games and programmes like maya autodesk?

    any advice or suggestion welcome and appreciated
