Hi,

I'm looking to upgrade my current pc. Mainly for gaming purposes. Would appreciate any suggestions for a budget upgrade.

My configuration :

CPU : Intel Core i3 530 @2.93GHz

Motherboard : Intel DH55TC

RAM : 4GB DDR3

Graphic card : Nvidia GTX660 Ti

I'm thinking of keeping my graphic card. The budget is around 30k INR (Indian Rupees)

Upgrade your mobo, CPU, and RAM for now, a MSI z97 PC mate and i5 4690K would be fine, or if you don't want to overclock then go with the msi h97 pc mate and i5 4690, and I'd throw in another 4GB of ram.

Specs: CPU - Intel i7 8700K @ 5GHz | GPU - Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming | Motherboard - ASUS Strix Z370-G WIFI AC | RAM - XPG Gammix DDR4-3000MHz 32GB (2x16GB) | Main Drive - Samsung 850 Evo 500GB M.2 | Other Drives - 7TB/3 Drives | CPU Cooler - Corsair H100i Pro | Case - Fractal Design Define C Mini TG | Power Supply - EVGA G3 850W

More ram and a better CPU and motherboard if that chipset isn't compatible with Haswell. Budget?
