What to upgrade next?

[J.K. Lag]

Any suggestions or advices on what upgrade route to take. Mainly used for gaming and flight simulator.

My pc specs are as follows:

Cpu- g3258

mobo-gigabyte z97m-ds3h

video card- gtx750 ti

ram- 8gig hyper x kingston

cpu cooler- seidon 120m

psu-corsair vs550

hdd- seagate 1tb

Case-cooler master n300

Id like to upgrade more on the gpu and cpu and planning to keep the psu and mobo. The rest is optional but i would take yor suggestions. Thnaks

Well, the GPU is always a good way to go. But, you might want to think out of the box for just extra things that make a gaming rig just better.

Here is a list of things I include in "my rig".

1. Monitor Cleaning Whips. (Ones that dont damage the monitor unlike water based wipes. These are cheap, $5 to a packet of 20).

2. A nice big mouse pad that is stain resistant.

3. A good solid cup coaster for keeping your gaming area nice and clean from stains.

4. A nice solid desk. My current desk is a canadian maple with 2 places for a PC, and a nice leather top. Desks are very important for rigs.

5. And finally, a great chair for long sessions on the computer.

Or, a GTX 970 and a 4690k.

Nice set up. I will consider these, Thanks man!

Like the guy above suggests, if you dont already have a nice desk, chair or mousepad, get those. Or a new mouse or keyboard. Once you have all of those, I suggest waiting for skylake and then buy an i5, new mobo (because skylake has a different socket) and gpu

i would suggest you get an i5-4440 (currently 169$) and a R9 290 or GTX 970 graphics card.

Does the skylakes mobo still support ddr3 or is it ddr4?

Is the i5 4440 future proof for at least the next 2years?

Nobody has recommended an ssd yet, that can be a cheap upgrade if on sale that can generally enhance your overall experience. That's my reasoning for my next upgrade path otherwise upgrading your CPU or GPU will depend on the games you play, if you like mmos you may want to upgrade your CPU, if you like fps games like bf4 you may want to upgrade that GPU although imo the 750ti is fine for now

We dont yet know. Also maybe get a ssd

Yep planning on getting a cheap 120gb ssd. I play bf4,need for speed rivals, flight sim x and some online games. Thanks for the suggestion

I hope it supports ddr3 so i could reuse my current ram. Fingers crossed Lol.

SSD's are pretty awesome. Consider picking one up if you care about load times and such. Also it just makes everything more snappy!

yes its a good cpu and it should be relevant at least another 2 years in regards to gaming i would think, yes.
