New PC or upgrade?

[buiscreep55]

Hey there!

 

I've currently got a decent computer that's around 5 years old at this point. For specs it consists of:

- i5 4690k @ 4.20 GHz

- BeQuiet! Slim Rock cooler

- Gigabyte Z97-D3H Motherboard

- 8 GB 1600 MHz RAM

- EVGA GTX 960 SSC

- 240 GB SSD / 1 TB HDD

- Corsair CX500M

 

 

So I'm wondering if its better to just upgrade RAM / GPU or if I might as well get a new PC and reuse hard drives and maybe power supply.

Any help would be appreciated! :D

i7 4770k and 16gb of ram and you are good to go, maybe gpu uprade, depends on a budget, 1060/1070 would be great.

I would probably go for https://pcpartpicker.com/product/qdkD4D/corsair-memory-cmz16gx3m2a1600c10 and a 1060 or rx580 (whichever is cheaper, their performance is pretty similar) and do a full upgrade in a year or so. your cpu might bottleneck your gpu a little but you should be fine
