PSU:IDK (Prob 400W PSU)

RAM:12GB

HDD:2TB

OS: Win 10 Home 64 Bit Edition

save money and wait for ryzen or get a older i7 2600 system.

Right off the bat, I'd maybe look into an SSD. You could use it for your OS/most frequented programs, and store everything else on the HDD. Got any idea what Motherboard your have? That can shine some light on other upgrade opportunities.

FM2+ has not much more to offer. AFAIK he can push 200Mhz out of it with a new CPU but that isn't worth it in any capacity.

And also, I am looking into an SSD already.

my parents have a very similar pc that my sister runs Minecraft on.

you can extend the life of it with these upgrades:

 

get an Arctic Cooling Alpine 64 Plus (cpu cooler, runs cool and quiet and its cheap)

get a 120gb-250gb SSD for your OS 

get a GPU like RX 460 or GTX 1050ti

So, you said you use this as a gaming rig. What games do you want to play, and what frame rates/resolution do you want to play them at?

he's on an OEM mobo, it wouldn't surprise me if he can't mount the 64+

I want to play Minecraft, and I am able to, and I want to play at 60fps, which i can do, i just want to upgrade and be able to play more games in future, withput upgrading more

SSD and video card (make sure you power supply can handle it) are all you need in the short term. You'll want some more CPU power in the future or if you decide to play more CPU intensive games.

[DestroyerYouTube]

what video card should i get?

 

1050ti?

1050Ti is good for what you need - considering we don't know your PSU. but I'd say keep the money, wait for Ryzen, and sell your machine when it comes out.

thanks!
