Computers & ITHi Guys,
I have a Samsung DP700A3D.
You can find the spec here:
https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/model/DP700A3D-S01UK/
My father, passed away and left us behind, in his will. It was his favourite computer and I want to keep this.
I’m hoping that my son and me and could work on this as a project to upgrade it to the complete Max!
I wanted to know the following:
We would be using this just for surfing the internet and YouTube, video surveillance and possibly short emails. But nothing demanding such Gaming, so i am interested in upgrading the GPU, but would like to know if this can be replaced.
Please do let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
John

I can upgrade the the ram to 16gb (8gb x2)
I can upgrade internal SSD to 4TB
I just need to know the best CPU to install, that I can install and is compatible with no issues.

Computers & ITHi @John9991 You could have a look at the comparisons list , this one comparable price (new) but looks to be a better performer. https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Intel-Core-i5-12400F/Rating/4121
However if wish to use refurbished ones may well find better deal on i5-3470T, should be suitable for your needs.
I do not work for Samsung or make Samsung Products but provide independent advice and valuable contributions.
My Device- S21 Ultra 5G ( SM-998B/DS ) CSC= BTU , 12GB/256GB
One Ui 5.0,Android 13 .

Computers & ITHi James4578,
Thank you for your reply.
I found this:
if I buy this, will this work on the computer or is possible to cause malfunctions, I won't have time to open and replace. I just want something that will work with ease and causes no issue.
Also I noticed Samsung sell SSD that are 8TB, but I think it recommended to use 4TB. As with the above, would this be recommend? or should I just stick to 4TB
Thank you

Computers & ITJust to add to my last message, it also says in the seller description it's recommended to upgrade the GPU.
But as I won't be using this for gaming or editing videos, is the Intel Core i5 12400F worth getting? or should I stick to i5-3470T?
The upgraded computer would also be used to review and monitor video surveillance from the cloud network, i.e Ring or Nest.
Thanks
