Free PC age & upgrade checker
Is my PC outdated?
Tell PCLift what is in your PC and what you want to play. We'll score your rig against your target FPS and resolution, flag the likely bottleneck, and point you to a compatibility-aware upgrade route.
Auto-grab your specs
Run one terminal command, then paste the output
The command runs on your machine, prints a short spec block, and never sends anything anywhere on its own. Copy the printed output and paste it into the box below — PCLift formats it for you.
Open PowerShell, paste, press Enter, then copy the output.

Just fill in the fields manually below.
How PCLift decides if a PC is outdated
We compare your CPU and GPU generation against the demand of your resolution and FPS goals, factor in RAM headroom, and surface the single weakest link. The answer is never just "yes" or "no" - it's a plan: upgrade what limits you, keep what is fine, and sell what no longer earns its slot.
- CPU and GPU generation gap vs. modern game-engine demand.
- RAM size for AAA, streaming, and creator workloads.
- Resolution and refresh-rate target vs. realistic frame-rate range.
- Compatibility risks (PSU, socket, BIOS, case) flagged in the full intake.
