PC Upgrade

[the public]

My PC:

 

Mobo- MSI 970 Gaming

GPU- Sapphire Radeon R9 280 3gb OC

CPU- FX-6300 Vishera Black

RAM- 8gb Crucial Ballistix Sport kit

PSU- EVGA 600w

Case- NZXT s340

OS- Windows 8.1 64bit

 

I am just wondering if there are any significant upgrades that i can make without having to get a new motherboard?

 

Thanks for the help!

What is your budget and what is this used for? Also the signifcant upgrade would require a mobo change because it involves getting a better CPU

What peripherals are you using? A lot of times people are fixated on making their computer top priority yet they're rocking a membrane keyboard and crappy TN 60hz display. Looking back, my 1440p IPS monitor was one of the best purchases I've ever made.

Other than more ram and windows 10 not really.

 

Your cpu bottlenecks that gpu most likely, so without a new mobo+cpu you really can't upgrade anything else, unless you want a new case that is

Get an eight core amd FX as second hand they will be cheap other than that your doing fine.

That FX-6300 will be a pretty bad bottleneck on cpu intensive games best to get the best amd you can but even then you will be falling behind badly in a year or two with those old amd chips.

Ya better Cpu go with intel if you can

There's nothing more you can do with it. Its worthless upgrading to an 8350 as you well get almost the same performance in gaming. My advice is getting an ssd(if you don't have one) or getting a cpu cooler and overclocking the 6300.

Switch mobos to Z97 and get the 4690k
