should i change my GPU or CPU

[SwaggMcSwaggySwag]

Hello fellow pc community so i want to know should i change my cpu it gpu i have a amd radeon r7250  OC version and a intel pentium g3220 dual core i can run moste games at 60-30 fps for example i can run bf3 60 fps low but when there are a lot of people and explosions it drops down to like 35-28 fps and its the same with planet side 2 when there are not a lot of people 40-50 fps but a large battle it drops down to like 28-25 fps so what do i change my cpu or gpu i have a budget around 200 KM that is 127$ will poste my motherboard and power brick    --------->

 

 

H81M-D2V MOTHERBOARD WITH A LGA1150 SOCKET

 

 

 

CHIFTEC 350 W POWER BRICK 

 

 

 

 

Tnx for reading hope i get some help

both :,D

Probably upgrade you're cpu then later when you have more money upgrade you're gpu.

Welcome to Linus Tech Tips!

Change your graphicscard, R7 260 or nvidia 750/ ti

Edit: I take all back, save your money

[Guest]

I would change gpu first.

 

 

probaj da prodas tu r7 250 i da kupis bar r7 260x

al bolje je da stedis jos pare i za bolji procesor i graficku a moraces i napajanje

I'd upgrade the CPU first if you wanna play PS2 with better frames.

Change that PSU for the love of all that is holy. 650W Modular with Bronze 80 plus minimum for a serious RIG.

 

Your 350W PSU probably actually provides 210W due to 60% heat efficiency at peak load.  A Geforce GTX 760 is 170W, you don't have enough power.

If something has 60% efficiency and says it provides 350W than it means that it provides 350W and takes 490W from wall and 140W is spent on heating of component.

He does not need 650W for his pc even if he adds 270x and i5

Not true, at peak load PSU do not supply what they say do.That  350W will provide anywhere close to 350W when he starts drawing power more than 70% of its maximum output, this is why 80 Plus certifications exist.

Change both if you've got money.

Quality psu have it specs determined by its real abilities.

Efficiency is what I described.

[vlkn´]

... a good quality psu costs 50$, it´s not worth it to talk about if you need it or not.

Just get it if you want to upgrade pc components, no need for being that cheap.

At the end you´ll look back at the money you spent and destroyed for 50$.

Running a psu over 100% of its intended use <.<  classic

Edit: I stand corrected, the efficiency refers to AC to DC conversion process.

 

I still would recommend a better PSU.

[Guest]

No it doesn't, its specs are determined by its best output, not if it can actually provide that power at maximum load or not.

Oh my... It looks that you are really determined to continue with your opinion... 

 

No decent manufacturer would write 350W if it will explode at 351W.

yes, if it´s called peak load. Theres a difference

[Guest]

As no power supply unit can be same they must say numbers are lower than real just to be sure.

[vlkn´]

ok, I guess I better stop here, I can´t explain it to someone who thinks every psu manufacturer has a 2000watt gap for security

Peak power needs definition here.

 

as we are talking about components that usually draw constant power.

[AlmightyDeity]

A few games won't start on a dual core. You would most likely see a boost to your framerates at higher settings by upgrading either, though if you can, overclocking the CPU might help to see if that is the bottleneck. I would say wait until the new GPUs with smaller fab processes release. AMD is going down to 20nm and Nvidia is supposedly going down to 16nm.

 

This will give more bang for the buck rather than going for the current ones.

 

I hope this helps you man!

CPU...then GPU when the coin permits...

[i_build_nanosuits]

save money and buy an i5-4440 and a R9 290 GPU. (might need a new PSU as well)

[Fgtfv567]

Go for an r9 270/280 and then upgrade the CPU
