Hello community   ;)   ,

 

I need help

My question is, should I just upgrade my PC or buy a new one? ( i´m new in things like PC gaming, but i´ll learn more about it! ) ,

Here are my PC specs:

 

CPU: AMD FX-4300

Motherboard: Asus M5A97 R2.0

RAM: DDR3 4GB 2006.7 MHz Dual Channel

Storage: 1 TB 

GPU: AMD Radeon R7 200 Series

PSU: ~250-300 Watt i think

 

If you could help me it would be great!  :) 

Thanks in advance! :D and sorry for my English  :P

If milionaire - new pc
if tight budget - a R9 270 and a FX-6300 + new PSU (500W)

EDIT: WELCOME TO THE FORUMS! :D

Primary: Lenovo T61 / Intel Core2Duo T7200 @ 2.2GHz / 3GB DDR2 / NVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M / Fedora 22 <<<< THE WHITE KNIGHT

Secondary: Compaq Presario CQ56 / AMD V130 @ 2.3GHz / 2GB DDR3 / AMD Radeon HD 4250 / Windows 8.1 <<< THE FORGOTTEN HERO

Thank you for the fast reply! 

I have tiny budget :/ 

Some questions again  :P :

which r9 270 should i get ? Asus, MSI , Sapphire, ....

is 8GB RAM enough? like this one Corsaír Vengence Pro 8GB DDR3 2133MHz Dual Channel

8GB is the sweet spot atm in terms of Ram. The R9 270 is perfect, any retailer will do but I personally like Asus's DCU II.

The manufacturer doesnt matter that much. The vendor depends of cooling. Just go for the cheapest one :)

Also, you dont need that much expensive RAM. Go for the Kingston HyperX Fury series of RAM modules.

Add a hyper 212 CPU cooler to the parts that have already been recommended. YOu'll want to overclock that FX6300 when you get it. AMD CPUs have a horrible IPC performance so you need to get them to about 4.5Ghz to get any sort of respectable gaming performance. You'll note that my avatar is Calvin urinating on the AMD logo. That's my avatar for a reason... AMD SUX. But if it's what you're set up for, go with it.
