Have I made a good choice?

Hi everyone!

I just purchased the components on the above pic. I have been saving for ever in order to do a little upgrade to my rig.

My current specs are:

Mobo>Msi H81m-p33

Cpu> g3258

Gpu >msi gtx 750ti

Ram>kingston genesis 2x 2gb

Psu>(i believe )coolermaster 500w (it was a gift)

Ssd 2x 120 kingston hyperx 120gb + an old 500gb laptop hdd

I have bought the new components after many months of internet research and would like to know if the upgrades will have a significant impact on my gameplay?

From what I've found out, the new mobo will make overclocking my pentium a bit easier? I haven't been able to go over 3.7 on my msi mobo.

Also could someone point me to an assembly guide? Dunno if im going to be overwhelmed by the connections and what not.

Thanks in advanced!

Cheers!

More ram could help, motherboard upgrade was not the smartest thing to do, especially getting that overpriced thing. Could have upgraded to i5 or upgraded gpu.

That is a locked motherboard. You aren't overclocking jack with that. You need a Z97 board, OR just return your pentium for an i3.

Also, I would have bought only 1 SSD, and then use the cash to better your system.

You should really have 8 gigs of RAM aswell.

 

EDIT: Only read list. Link wasn't working for me.

Locked mobo?? I sincerely hope you are kidding me!

The reason i saved to buy that mobo was the "overclocking capabilities" the gene supposedly offers. At least thats all I read about it wherever I googled!

I think he was confused with your current vs the new M7G. That is a great board, probably the best mATX. Get a K series I7 or I5 to go with it.

Nothing wrong with those upgrades (maybe a bit spendy) but I can't tell if that is 8 GB or 16 GB of RAM (the more the better in the long run.)

 

You've set yourself up for your next big upgrades - a 4690k or 4790k, and a better GPU

[Mcpita69]

It's 8gb 1600mhz.

It took me a while to save the cash for those!

When ever im ready saving, im planning on upgrading the gpu or the psu first in case i don't have enough wattage!
