Upgrading current PC

[Yokivaa]

Hello everyone!

 

I have been using my pc I had built around 4 years ago on quite a strict budget, and I am finally coming to the point where I need to upgrade.

 

Budget:  £500

Country: United Kingdom

 

My Current Rig:

PSU - Corsair VS450

Motherboard - MSI B150M PRO-VDH D3

Processor - Intel i5-6600 (3.30GHz)

GPU - Nvidia GeForce GTX 950 2GB 

Memory - 16GB DDR3 (4x4GB 1866mhz)

HDD - 1TB (7200rpm)

 

I was under the impression I had a good grip on how to deal with computers, but I am not sure where to upgrade my pc, other than the obvious GPU upgrade. Ideally I would like to make my upgrades on the cheaper side, but I understand doing this isn't going to be cheap regardless. Please could you include some suggestions of how to improve the set up I currently have to allow me to play games comfortably for years to come, and if possible to stream too, though that is something I find vital to my system.

 

 

Thanks in advance for any advice!

I would say get an SSD. They are very cheap currently and make windows feel a lot snappier overall.

get an ssd, and maybe a used 6700 and a used 580. that should be decent, or wait for ampere and big navi and zen 3 and see if you can switch to a better platform.

Absolutely consider getting an SSD.  If nothing else, it will dramatically improve loading times for Windows and applications, which in some cases can also improve game performance (such as for games that load graphics data from disk as the game is running)

an ssd would be the best upgrade. Wait for new gpus to launch, get one of them and consider upgradeing your cpu and mobo. Also, if your psu is an orange label one replace it asap. Get a 550w cx550 or other good one
