I use my Acer Aspire V 15 Nitro (VN7-571G-53N9) for gaming, mainly Minecraft / Badlion Client and some mods
with an Intel I5 5200u (2.5 GHz I think)
Nvidia GeForce 940M 2G VRAM
8GB DDR3 memory and 1TB hybrid HDD
is it worth buying this computer, is there my question? Or should I maybe set up the laptop again to achieve more performance?
Price would be 160 euro
Honest? It's only worth it because you can upgrade it, otherwise it wouldn't be advisable. You wouldn't have made such a huge leap by buying.
DDR3 RAM is old
The FX processor has always been electronic waste
2GB vRAM with an old graphics card well if you are satisfied
About the HDD and. SSD I can't say anything more because the details are missing
No, that would not be a good upgrade. On the contrary, your i5 5200u is even faster. Better save on a Ryzen system. Otherwise, install an SSD.
No, it's a downgrade.
You can forget the PC, you are even better off with your laptop.
Put the laptop back on and install an SSD. It will help a lot.
