Need help on upgrading my current build.

[NoCster]

What would be a cost effective way to upgrade my main computer to run modern games on ultra? I'm honestly struggling to figure this one out on what parts to save for etc etc.

 

Current build v

 

cpu: AMD - FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor

 

cpu cooler: Cooler Master - Hyper 212 EVO 

 

gpu: EVGA - GeForce GTX 750 2GB Superclocked 

 

mobo: MSI - 970A-G43 ATX AM3+ Motherboard

 

ram: Corsair - Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory

 

psu: Thermaltake - TR2 600W ATX Power Supply

New system upgrade, https://pcpartpicker.com/list/d23wf8

That's not an upgrade, that's a whole new system lol

 

I'd recommend Ryzen, specifically the R5 1600. better than the 7600K in everything.

Also, can you mark the parts you're carrying over from your old build as purchased in PCPP. makes it easy to see what to change and not to change when making a new parts list.

I would recommend Ryzen 1600 or 1600X instead of the i5-7600k. It will have similar performance in games, and because the 7600k doesn't have hyper-threading and has fewer cores, the Ryzen CPUs will be more effective in non-gaming applications. The GTX 1060 6GB should be good for modern titles if you are running at 1080p 60Hz.

His system has an identity and if it wishes for a ... would it be a sex change? ... new body, it isn't your business!

and they perform identically in today's games

plus, Ryzen will take a lead in the games of tomorrow, with proper DX12 and Vulkan.

Would I be able to keep a stable fps for a 75hz monitor?

Depends on the program, but you shouldn't have any issues since you can lower settings that aren't needed like AA.

I think yes but for more performance go for GTX 1070, and check my recommended monitor Here

Go for a complete new build. Ryzen 1600 + gtx 1070 is a great combo. Some 16gb 3000 ram and bam

Yes, but linus has an explanation for G sync and freesync. and sorry for recommending nvidia with free sync monitor?

ill look into a G-Sync monitor, very skeptical about AMD cards.

Ok, but remember you have to do something with V Sync while turning on G Sync
