And how long do you think will the server last? As long as the PC?

When the time comes you will make both a new PC AND a new server or only PC?

Hm. We’ll see if anything will happen that’d prompt you to take action sooner than 8 years after the server is built…

It can be problematic for sure seeing what others said here about modern ram needs of a PC…

well, computer pieces are expensive. (expensive equals to \>0)  
and hand-ins sounds like urban legends.

It would still be of use getting a PC with better statistics at some point…

ooh same as my laptop! (not litterally, just a 240 gb drive + some trimming)

if you aren’t playing games go to bios settings and tell it to give the igpu less memory. You don’t have a dedicated gpu and windows is too stupid to just do this automatically so the bios reserves some memory for the igpu to use. if you can’t find the setting for it look it up.

ram usually isn’t too expensive. 16 gb of dd4 so dimms (what the 3700u uses) is under 30 dollars. similarly, a less fancy 500 gb nvme is under 50. That isn’t free, buying both is the cost of a chromebook, but you might only need 8 gb of ram to get an upgrade (say you have two slots, both with 4, getting 8 to replace one, now you have 12). point being, check if your ram or ssd is soldered. You can’t upgrade it if so. Also, those are the prices for new parts. You can and should buy used.
