Help me with an upgrade path!

[Spyab]

Hey, i'm a Brazillian that got a entry level PC a year ago. I'm looking for a cheap but good upgrade path, help please!

 

Current specs:

Motherboard: Gigabyte A320M-S2H

Processor: Ryzen 3 2200G

Ram: 1x8gb 2400mhz

HDD: 500gb (I'll get a 256 or 512 gb ssd later)

GPU: iGPU

 

Please help!

How is the gpu market where you live? The next logical step would be to get a graphics card, but I know places like Brazil have already overpriced tech compared to cost of living and I'm sure the gpu shortage didn't help things.

 

You also should go for another stick of identical memory, because that will definately improve performance running duel channel ram

that's fine, most midrange and low end gpus won't saturate that

GPUS are pretty expensive, but I can get some good deals in reputable sources in aliexpress, I was thinking a gtx 960 4gb or a gtx 1050-ti

Cool, but make sure that they aren't scam cards. If it looks kidna like this, ,

then it's probably a scam.

It really depends on what you want to spend. What would probably do the most for the cheapest would be either another stick of RAM so you can run in dual channel, or preferably get a new RAM kit of 2x8GB 3200MHz. Besides a GPU if you can get one for a good price (something like a GTX 1050 would be great if you could find one), there isn't really much I'd recommend upgrading in that system without swapping everything out. Those A320 boards in my experience are not very stable with anything but Zen1 (and even then it can be iffy), so upgrading to a 2600X or 3600 would be out of the question.

You should probably post a link for the card store page you want to buy to get feedback if it's a scam

Only the 2080Ti and up saturate that, so he's pretty much fine for a while.
