HP Compaq Elite 8300 UPGRADE 2021

I am upgrading an old HP Compaq Elite 8300 Desktop Computer or PC

I am upgrading this hardware parts:
CPU Intel Pentium Processor G870 to Intel Core i3-3220 Processor,
Ram from 4GB to 8GB DDR3 memory,
Adding a new graphics card NVIDIA GeForce GT 730 2GB
Adding a new Western Digital SSD with 120GB in storage with the additional old mechanical hard disk drive western digital blue.

And in the end i will install a fresh new copy of windows 10 pro operating system and it's drivers and software for various different tasks and in the very end i will install a game called Fortnite just to test it out if it can work on such low specced hardware.

Thanks for watching and have a awesome day.

Great PC. I am writing from the same machine but with i7 3.4 MHz processor, 24Gb DDR3 ram, Radeon RX 560 4 GB, 1 SSD 2Tb (with OS 1), 1 SSD 1Tb (with OS 2) e 1 external backup disk. A fantastic machine that's serving me since a couple of years. With this configuration it supports hackintosh natively.

About to buy this computer to run some low end programs (Stepmania, Photoshop), but nice to know I can upgrade the video.

I needed this video, thanks for uploading. Btw, can we swap this motherboard to a matx pc case?

I just got one of these free from my job. It already has an i5 3570 and I got 4x sticks for a total of 16GB of RAM (original Samsung 4 GB DDR3 1600Mhz sticks). Slapped a 512GB SSD for 50€. It just needs a decent GPU and I got myself a beast of a PC. You can even install up to Windows 11 Pro with the included product key on the sticker.
