Pc update

[Joey5020]

Hello, so I need a pc upgrade but I don’t know much about pc parts so I need help! I got my pc parts when I was running low on cash and I still am but I would like to know what type of parts I need so in the near future I can get them!

 

Power supply Thermaltake Litepower G2 Power Supply Unit 450 W ATX Black

 

Graphics card GeForce gtx 960 

 

Case Mini-ITX Case with Tempered Glass

 

Ram DDR4 2x4gb 3000mhz XPG Adata

 

Motherboard MSI B450M PRO-M2 MAX AM4 AMD B450 SATAIII USB3.2 Gen1 Micro-ATX Motherboard

 

Processor AMD Athlon 3000G 3.5GHz Dual-Core Unlocked OC AM4 Processor with Vega 3 Graphics

 

I basically just copied and pasted not gonna lie because I didn’t know what it was called so yea.

it depends what sort of power your looking for, compute/graphics ?

you didn't mention storage, do you have an ssd ? that's a good upgrade in itself.

 

Apart from the case which might still be good to go, you pretty much can change everything else.

16gb is better

450W is not much

gtx 960 is not much

 

No, motherboard should still be good, too.

So the psu is pretty craptastic and not a unit that is actually safe to use. So i'd change that.

 

You can't have a mini itx case and a micro atx board. What case is it? If you don't know post some pictures of it.

 

What are your goals with this sytem?

I’m mainly looking for graphics to be honest, every game I play I always have to put them on low settings so yea, I’m just guessing at this point because i don’t know what you mean, I’m sorry I’m not the brightest

 

I don’t have an ssd, I have a 1 terabyte.

so all I basically need to mainly upgrade is the ram, power supply and the graphics card?

 

I alway thought I needed a new motherboard because it only had 2 slots for the ram

Ahhhh ok so I need to change the psu.

I was trying to find the case online but I was able to find it at all so I’m just gonna take a picture of it.

 

To be honest i just want a pc that I can play games with normal settings. I don’t want anything that’s like high end or like top notch, I just want something normal that will last me and that I won’t have any problems for the time been.

Relatively easy upgrades you can do:

 

Upgrade to Ryzen 5 3600, max CPU I would put on that board. Should be a pretty significant upgrade

 

Upgrade to 2x8GB 3200mhz cl16 kit (or 2x16GB if you can afford it) and replace current kit

 

GPU upgrade would also require a PSU upgrade

Don't you guys think, he needs an ssd ?

[Jonathan Lee]

Oh yea SSD would definitely help lol. Here are some options you can go with:

 

Storage: ADATA XPG GAMMIX S11 Pro 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive  ($109.99 @ Amazon) 
Storage: Western Digital WD_BLACK SN750 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive  ($129.99 @ Western Digital) 
Storage: Team MP34 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive  ($91.99 @ Amazon) 
Storage: Mushkin Pilot-E 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive  ($108.99 @ Amazon) 
Storage: Silicon Power P34A80 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive  ($91.99 @ Amazon) 
Storage: PNY CS2130 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive  ($98.05 @ Amazon) 
Storage: ADATA XPG GAMMIX S7 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive  ($89.99 @ Amazon) 

 

These would go on the space above the GPU
