What should I upgrade?

Hey,

 

I'd like some help deciding on what component I should upgrade next.

I am currently using an Asus r7 360, skylake g4400 CPU, crucial 8gb ddr4 RAM, Asus h110-a motherboard and a wd blue 1tb HDD.

 

Thanks

your cpu is fine, your ram is fine, ur mobo is fine, ur hdd is fine. but if i were you id upgrade your graphics card to an RX 460 2Gb. here is one for 80 bucks https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131695R&cm_re=rx_460-_-14-131-695R-_-Product

 

if your budget is a little higher than go for an RX 460 4gb, or even and RX 470 4gb

Get a pentium g4560-g4620/i5 + rx470, and an ssd is nice for some games with long loafing time if youd like.

Personal build >  New-ish AMD main gaming setup           

   PLEASE QUOTE OR @ ME FOR A RESPONSE xD

I did think of that, but can the intel h110 chipset handle the newer kaby lake processors?

He really won't see much performance boost in buying an RX 460 over an R7 360. That's why I am not going to buy an RX 460 since I also own a R7 360. Perhaps 15-20% increase in performance.

I still will upgrade since some of my games, especially simulators like x-plane 11 can load more textures than the r7 360's 2gb or vram can contain.

Also, I can see you are new here so if you want to reply to someone's comment... Make sure you quote them or tag them please. And yes true, the 2GB VRAM isn't enough for demanding titles but it is alright for most of my games at 1080p
