So what's the difference between buying a premade with the i7 and integrated graphics, getting a new board and cpu with integrated graphics for mine, and my current setup with apu?
pending on a lot of circumstances, a lot.
if your current pc is having issues with things it didn't used to, you can try:
formatting HD and reinstalling windows
clean your pc components, as well as replace the thermal paste of your cpu.
if that doesn't get your pc back to it's old self, the components have weakened through use.
you could just try buying a cheap gpu to add to your rig, but it could be something with mobo or RAM for all i know at this point.
something to note, most pre-builds are cheap because they use cheap parts.
edit: i can suggest trying to run CPUID's HWMonitor and see if you notice any spikes from a specific component during use.
edit 2: i have a 12+ year old pc that runs diablo 2 and agario just fine. it's only a duo core AMD without a dedicated gpu.
these games should run without issue from component tbh.
