Why do you want more ram? Looking at your system I see areas where an upgrade would be more impactful...

 

Anyway you can just buy 2 8GB DDR3 sticks and use the in your current motherboard.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

sadly h61 only have 2 slot, you could just add 1x 8gb ram to existing 2/4gb to make it "more than enough"

What is your budget for the memory and motherboard upgrade?

 

The thing is, you should upgrade the rest too if you're already changing the parts.

pop in an i7 3770 (no need to change motherboard) and 2x8gb 1600mhz RAM. then save up for a used GTX 1060 or RX 580 4gb. more than enough power for daily use, gaming and productivity. shouldnt cost more than $200usd total depending on your residence and product availability

Its to most intents an purposes the same CPU with worse temps.

temps are fine for me on the stock cooler. get 3.8ghz on full load when rendering 4k/60 videos in Premiere. its not fantastic for that kind of load, but it does it in due enough time. and its got better single and multi core performance than the 2600. not a major upgrade, but an upgrade nontheless

So that's a Sandy Bridge without the K ?  It is a great chip if you take it to 4.4Ghz.  You say you want to upgrade your PC but you just want to upgrade to 16GB RAM ?  Oh man 4GB of RAM  ?  Are you using 32bit OS as well ?  Listen to GoldenLag.

So spend money on a CPU that is non-OC-able and that is overpriced on the used market, to get nothing...... Upgrade? Not really

you can overclock the BCLK with RAM that wont explode upon doing so, giving you better performance overall. so yea, its an upgrade to a point

Not really. Same CPU except you buy another one. And you get paste instead of solder. Its in many ways a downgrade. Especially for overclockers

What is OP trying to achieve with this PC? Like stated you could just go with 8gb of RAM and if you'll do any 3d that GT710 has to go.

*shrugs* eh, ive got a 3770....only reason my recommendation stands there. i love the thing. next best upgrade, for price while not having to buy new ram at least, would be a 4790k then. and by the time youve invested in that, you might as well just get a Ryzen 2600 and just overclock that to high hell

If your board has two slots, pick up an 8GB stick and install it along with one of your 2/4GB sticks. That'll give you more than enough for anything a GT 710 can do. A 2600 is gold all the way up to something like an RX 580 before you run into its limitations.

That's a really bad use of money if you've already got a 2600. A 2400 or 2100, sure, but trading one i7 for an i7 from one gen later only made sense from Nehalem to Sandy Bridge and Kaby to Coffee.

Aerocool DS are the best fans you've never tried.

In other words. You recommend based on what you bought yourself. Not how good the product actually is......

an improvement is an improvement, no matter how you look at it. benchmarks put the 3770 > 2600 in all cases, no matter small. optimal? not for the money. better performance? not for the money...but still better

That is purely from incremebtal improvements from the boost. 

 

Its a worse CPU for overclocking. Its a worse CPU cooling wise. And clock for clock the performance is the same. 

 

Its not what OP should be going for by a long shot. That doesnt really make up for the other recommendations that you made, but i let those go. 

 

"Improvement" is an improvement. But also not really, not to mention when looking at the sort of post being made. 

 

Upgrading to the 3770 would have done exactly nothing for him/her. Only made him/her spend money. Dont make recommendations based on what you have bought yourself.

a new motherboard wouldnt be much of an "improvement" either...since theyd be getting literally the same as they have now as well.

 

want an improvement suggestion? i7 4790k + new motherboard + 16gb ram + GTX 1060/RX 580 + SSD...an entire new system. there ya go...major improvement

Not really. 4790k isnt really better than 2nd gen. 

 

GPU doesnt make a lot of sense since it allready used parts. 

 

Not to mention any old intel CPU is really overpriced for what it is. Especially mobos.

It why people are avoiding swapping the CPU, and mobo. It is still fantastic. 

 

So idk why you bring up that at all. Since he shouldnt be upgrading the CPU at all.

then he shouldnt need to upgrade the motherboard either. theres no benefit in either case. just get a whole new generation PC and be done with it then. only real improvements started around the 7700k and not even by that much either. cheapest option upgrade would be Ryzen then

Buying a new gen just because to increase a number on a spec sheet?

 

Also 7700k wasnt much of an upgrade. They finally caught up overclocking wise to 2nd gen and the 22nm in general. 

 

He wont be getting anything, he would just spend money........

If you have noticed..... You are the only one to bring up motherboards.......... To upgrade to another plattform with the sale performance.....

"Can you suggest me a good motherboard..."

 

Op said it themselves. there is no "good motherboard" to upgrade to, even if he just wants for 16gb RAM. he could just get 2x8gb RAM sticks

 

"I want upgrade my pc"

 

Op wants an UPGRADE. only option is to go to another newer generation/platform. i dont see whats so hard to understand here...

Then suggest a mobo.... Not a CPU and tell him to get a mobo. You did correct by not suggesting at first to get a mobo.

 

But to then suggest CPU, which he didnt ask for....
