upgrading/selling my pc

[SV4NL]

hi all,

 

I want to upgrade my setup so I can play Watch Dogs and other games of course

my current pc:

HP XW 6400 Worksation  

specs:

CPU: Intel Xeon E5320 @ 1.86 GHz (4 cores) socket: LGA 771

GPU: Nvidia Quadro FX 1800 768 MB

RAM: 8 GB DDR3 RAM

I was thinking to replace my GPU with a GTX 750 TI and replacing my CPU (dont know wich one)

what do you guys recommend me? I have a €250 budget to upgrade. or should I sell this system and build a new one?

Did you build your old pc or did you buy a manufactured one?

If it's manufactured you'll have to get a better power supply because most manufactured computers come with exactly the amount of power needed for the original components, and if you upgrade it might not be sufficient, but check how many watts you have right now.

Also you should get a motherboard with an LGA1150 socket so you can get the latest processors, so i think you should sell that one and see if you can get any money for it.

Oh, 575 watts is enough for a ~$2000 build with GTX780 so you should be good!
