[MarilynKira]

hey guys i have a quad core q6600 4 gigs of ram and a R7770 graphics card. Which part should i upgrade first ? is this cpu still relevant gaming wise ?

Cpu first then Gpu.

you will need to upgrade your cpu,motherboard,rams,and probably your psu or you can overclock your cpu

gaming requires graphics card horsepower you have a good gpu but other components are kinda old and holding your gpu behind

[Coombzy]

definitely that CPU what kind of things were you thinking of getting if you upgrade?

[MarilynKira]

I'm thinking about getting the new i5 4670k + mobo and rams ofc

[Coombzy]

then yes go for it

YAY WE HAVE THE SAME STUFF :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D

 

i suggest cpu upgrade first since that will suck loads of money

new motherboard

new ddr3/ddr4 ram

new cpu

possibly a new cooler or use stock

 

gpu can be done later cuz it runs pretty well (i hopes u agree with that) =]

 

gpu is more important in gaming but im guessing our cpu's are gona bottleneck a good graphics card

[MarilynKira]

Ya agree, the R7770 can run most current games without an issue

I have a q6600 quad core 3.0 GHz I use as a home theatre PC.. Games struggle tho, but I have a gaming PC for games.

I upgraded from a Q6600 to a 3507k and have never looked back.
