upgrade a pc without changing psu

[vchawda]

i have a corsair vs650 power supply and i want to upgrade my pc to the fullest (singel gpu) purely gamming and coding in different languages.

[Wauthar]

Well, what are the rest of your specs then? If you could add those, we can help you.

@vchawda

[manikyath]

and your question is...?

[Tedster]

Welcome to the Forum.

 

Sounds like the PSU's fine. What are the rest of the specs?

[ADZ_123_!"£]

You should be fine with any gpu unless you are going to be running a 390X overclocked + a FX9590.

If you have a single GPU then that PSU should provide enough power.

Get a 980 Ti

[vchawda]

my current specs are:

AMD FX-4100

Gigabyte GA-880GM usb3

8GB ddr3 ram

Cooler master hyperx 212x

1 blue edition WD 250GB hdd

1 1TB green WD hdd

Cooler master hyperx 212x

1 blue edition WD 250GB hdd

1 1TB green WD hdd

Yep that setup would be fine with any modern gpu, I would reccomend a 280/380 or a 960.

i want to cange my motherboard, processor and ram also the case coz the one i am using is old age

i'm sorry to any amd fanboys, but however you turn it, that cpu paired with any "fastest single gpu" is a plain joke.

as stated before, R9 280/380 or GTX 960 would be in place here.

So you want to change everything BUT the PSU?

So currently you have no GPU?

sry forgot to mention HD4850 512MB

Exactly

Where is your location? How much is your budget?

i live in mumbai in india

there is no bar for budget i have an investor who is gona pay me

[manikyath]

That is one of the slowest FX chips if not the slowest.  On top of that it could be sped up with DX12 via better utilization, but they'd be better off with a pentium, i3, or i5 for gaming with DX11.

on that note, i was just looking at quad cores for my server, and AMD makes much MUCH worse than that...

(also for much MUCH cheaper, YAY budget option...)

So you want the latest and most expensive components? Or the best price to performance option?

[Diederik_Gr]

That 8GB of DDR3 is still fine, I recommend hanging on to those along with your storage drives and CPU cooler as well.

I'd recommend a new motherboard, new processor and a new video card. What is your budget?

i prefer price to performance also suggest a full hd monitor.

there is no budget limit as i mentioned earlier

[manikyath]

Ya, AMD hasn't done much since '12 with the opterons.  A lot of the new ones are lower end.  They haven't put out a strong 16 core in like 3 years.  Everyone swapped to Xeons and IBM or whatever Oracle pushes.

i'm really sad that i didnt get to tinker with the spark servers we had in high school.

if they performed after their weight, they'd crush everything -bahdumtish-

 

but indeed, the cpu side of AMD has gotten really sad, i liked my athlon 64 based server (which was REALLY FLIPPIN FAST for its age)

but sadly, theres a point where old hardware fills the room with smoke, and its time for an upgrade. running two intels now.

 

on topic:

- hang on to the ram, because ram is ram, and if it works you might as well re-use it.

- the PSU is good, on less energy gulping cards it could even do SLI.

- NEVER throw away working hard drives, as long as they do their job, keep on using them. i have a system with a 20 year old hard drive thats still going strong.

- hang on to the case, maybe for a side project, maybe for the cat (my cat loves sitting in a computer case, but hates cardboard boxes...)

 

actually, while i'm typing this: might as well hang on to all the hardware you're using now for a future server build, or for a linux system. (since you're programming, this may also be kinda your area of interest)

[manikyath]

I kinda went a lil insane above for their "0/zip/nadda budget" for extreme gaming and deving.     Also, hopefully AMD comes back with Zen as right now it is all talk.  

as an intel/nvidia fanboy, i'm actually hoping zen will completely CRUSH intel's single threaded performance.

 

also, why not 32GB ram? i know some devs that would make good use of that

I don't have extensive knowledge about monitors, I suggest posting at the monitors sub-forum on this forums.
