Upgrade~~

[lumosrune11]

Budget (including currency): $100 USD

Country: Philippines

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: COD: Warzone

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc):

 

Hello everyone, so I need your suggestions on this build/upgrade-planning. I'm planning on upgrading my rig so that I can play COD : MW even in the medium possible settings. I was able to play COD MW before with my RX 470 8gb Sapphire. But since it's broken, I'm currently using GeForce GTX 650 and I am planning on buying a new GPU. But was afraid of bottlenecks. Any suggestion? And also, suggestions on CPUs, please? What's more suitable upgrade for my board.

My current build:

• CPU - Intel Pentium Gold G5400
• Board - MSI B365M Pro-VH
• RAM - 2x8gb Hyper X Fury 2666mhz
• GPU - GeForce GTX 650
• Storage - Intel SSD 660P + 2x500gb HDD (RAID 0)
• PSU - Generic 600w

Thanks in advance and best regards to everyone.

For your budget your upgrade options are a used gpu and that is it. What 600w psu is that? May as well be the case the 470 died.

 

What I would do in your case is get a whole new computer after getting a gpu for this one. So start saving. Upgrading this one is going to be almost as expensive as getting a new one and it's going to be worse.

Hi and thank you for your reply. I was thinking of buying a used GPU, tho. I can extend my budget up to $150 but what I'm worried about is the compatibility on my CPU. Will it run on its full potential, etc. So I'm trying to call out other people who uses the same CPU as mine and get any information and idea on what GPU should I use with it. Also, I can't extend my budget on buying new parts since I just bought these parts last August. It's cheap, I know. Well, it's all I could get.

 

Edit: Regarding my fried RX 470, I had a "little" accident while putting thermal paste on its processor (or whatever it's called). It's already modified, because it's a mining edition of the card and a little of the soldered wires have snapped for I was being careless when I'm putting it back together. Might as well use this when it's fixed and buy new CPU.

That cpu is already holding back a rx470 in any bigger new game so you can basically get anything from a rx470 to similar performing gpu's from years ago. However what 600w psu is that? That is the main point that will decide what gpu's you can get.

PSU is a Korean-made 600w named "VP-600GW VOLT Black Label" and is manufactured by GreatWall.

Yeah no wonder the 470 died. That psu is already hanging onto dear life powering your system as it is. First upgrade that to a good quality unit and then feel free to get any gpu. As it is now adding anything more powerhungry is going to lead to a broken computer again. If you leave it like it is now I see it breaking anyways.

Also since these are parts from august why not use the warranty on the 470?

The GPU was given to me by a friend long before I even have my first rig. It's about 2 years old, though. The parts I bought last August are the board, CPU, and Memory. About my PSU, yeah. I'm thinking this will be my first priority for now. I will save up for a good GPU since I'm still able to play games with the card I'm currently using. Thank you, good sir, for your help and replies. Have a great day!

If you get a good psu (use the psu tier list get a b tier or better) then the possibilities are endless. A lot of vega 56 cards and stuff are going for within your budget. Or you just get another 470/570 again. Or a r9 290 or whatever. Of course the older the cards the more power hungry usually.
