I'm asking if upgrading from an AMD Athlon 3000G to a:

GeForce GT710 ZOTAC 1GB DDR3, HDMI/VGA/DVI/64 bit/ZT-71301-20L and a AMD AM4 Athlon X4 Quad-Core 950, 3.80GHz BOX

(Sorry for the weird names thats what the website of the local tech store calls them) would be worthwhile and how much of an upgrade it would be since its double the price. Thank you.

1600 AF and a cheap gpu would be a much better idea

3000G to those? That's a straight downgrade in both CPU and GPU power. Remember that Ax 9xx CPUs are not Zen, but AMD's older architecture.

Those are worse than the 3000G overall. The 710 especially isn't even worth the sand it's made of for gaming.

 

are you choosing between 2 systems or something?
 

 

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?
