    I just noticed that. It had a price just yesterday. Idk what the problem is because I live in murica.

    Thanks for the help. 2800 RAM is a good idea.

    lmao I'm stupid. It's in there now.

    My current build: AMD FX-4300 XFX R7-260x 2gb M5A78L-M LX plus motherboard 8gb DDR3 RAM 465gb Seagate hard drive Corsair 230T case Corsair CX 430M PSU Upgrade: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QKg4LD As the title states, I am upgrading my computer to this build. I haven't built a computer before, so I wanted to make sure everything was compatible. I especially wanted to ensure that I'll be able to OC my ryzen CPU. I have a B350 motherboard, which I believe is all I need for CPU overclocking. Thanks in advance for the help.

    Thanks for the advice. I was planning to get this done now before the fall semester, but I may end up saving up for ryzen.

    Sorry I forgot to put this in my post, but I would like to stay within the $300 range.

    Is a G4560 a valid option for CPU? It's a lot newer and still stays somewhat close to budget.

    I was hoping to upgrade my current build. I'm thinking I'll get a 1050ti as its the best card that hasn't been affected by the ethereum mining craziness. However, I might also get this GTX 960 because it's $20 cheaper for similar performance. My main problem is deciding on the CPU. I was going to get an FX 8 core, but I hear that's pretty outdated. However, if I get a better CPU like the G4560, I will have to replace my MOBO and RAM, which puts me about $50 over budget. I don't think the slight performance boost would be worth the hassle and money, but I would like to hear your thoughts. Are the 1050ti and fx 8350 a decent upgrade from my current build? Thanks in advance! P.S. IDK if it matters, but I play lots of CPU-intensive games like GTA 5, The Witcher 3, Bethesda games and MMO's.

    How would I do this?

    My current build (meant for gaming): AMD FX-4300 XFX R7-260x 2gb M5A78L-M LX plus motherboard 8gb DDR3 RAM 465gb Seagate hard drive Corsair 230T case Corsair CX 430M PSU (Please tell me if you need more details.) I mainly want to improve performance in GTA 5, The Witcher 3, and Bethesda games (Skyrim, Fallout NV). I was thinking of getting a Pentium G4560 and an RX 470/570. I know I will also need to get DDR4 RAM and a new mobo for it to be compatible. However, I was also considering settling for an fx8300 and rx470 to skip the RAM and mobo replacement. Is the extra $100 worth the upgrade I will be getting from a G4560 and rx470? I have $350 to cover everything. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BfvQnn I still don't know if I will get a 470 or 570. I guess I will see which one comes in stock first as I can't find either of those cards in stock on any website. Once I see one of them in stock under $180, I will buy it. Thanks in advance for the help!

    Hello everyone, My current build (meant for gaming): AMD FX-4300 XFX R7-260x 2gb M5A78L-M LX plus motherboard 8gb DDR3 RAM 465gb Seagate hard drive Corsair 230T case Corsair CX 430M PSU (Please tell me if you need more details.) I have $280 to upgrade my prebuilt computer. I was thinking of getting a Pentium G4560 and an RX 470. I realize prebuilt computers are somewhat difficult to upgrade, so I was wondering if my build would work with this upgrade. If they aren't compatible what should I do? Should a buy an FX 8 core (which I assume would be compatible, I have an fx-300 now), or should I wait for a sale to replace the motherboard/RAM as well? Thanks in advance for the help!

    Cool. Thanks for the help!

    G4650 looks pretty good. I just now noticed in my post I made a typo. My budget is $280 not $250. Does that change anything, or not make a difference?

I mainly want to improve performance in GTA 5, The Witcher 3, and Bethesda games (Skyrim, Fallout NV). I also play a lot of MMOs which tend to be CPU intensive. My budget is roughly $280. I am thinking of buying an fx-6300 and fx 470. Is this a good upgrade for the money? Some of my friends have said a 6300 isn't that much of an upgrade over my 4300. To what extent is this true? I would be willing to pay more for a better CPU like an i3-6100 if it meant I wouldn't be wasting my money on a CPU that's barely an upgrade. I am also slightly worried about whether my PSU will be able to handle the upgrade. I have had no problems with it so far, but 430W is pretty low. Thanks in advance for the help!
