the gpu

10/10

get a 980ti

or if not supported

get the r9 295x

you forgot what cpu u have

[Darth-Marius]

AMD CPUs are huge bottlenecks

If you want better graphics upgrade your graphics card

[babadoctor]

AMD CPUs are huge bottlenecks

split the money between a newer amd cpu and a new gpu

[TheRandomness]

Unless your GPU is a HD7000 series (HD7970 or 7990 are still relavent, no ?) then upgrade that as well as the CPU

GPU

CPU/mobo

i don't like the GPU

i can't afford it

so get a R9 295X?

IKR it's my dad's 4 year old rig.

i know but to what?

i like that

it's worse 6 something

i don't like the GPU

i like the mobo and i think the cpu is fine for now

yes that sounds like a good upgrade.

[Br3tt96]

Probably need a new power supply also....

I was saying in that order, depending on what GPU you get. if it's like a 950 or R9 270, you'll be fine, but if it's better than that, i'd look at upgrading.

I'd say upgrade the GPU to R9 380 or 290/390 if budget allows. Hell, if budget allows go for a 980 or 980Ti, but if you go this far you'll need to upgrade the CPU to try get rid of bottlenecks

[EIijah]

You're better off starting again, maybe keep the case

[Guest Johnny5g]

Get an i5, maybe a 4670K or a 4690K. Then, upgrade your GPU to a single 970 or 390X.

hum. thanks! for me is that a little overkill . i was thinking 950 . i don't know

 

Probably need a new power supply also....

yep. i was thinking that.

ok thanks! but gosh it's worse [GPU].

i can't really spend the money right now.

Probably a low and 6000 series card, but hey, you could just spend 20 seconds and check in the hardware manager....

The cpu is obviously not stacking up so well against a new I7, but its really not that bad for 30-60fps gaming.

 

1. get a new gpu, something like a r9 380 should be adequate

2. get a 212 or so and oc the cpu a bit.

3. get a ssd as a boot drive or just replace the hdd with that (depends on how much storage you use)

If you want to upgrade more later you can always get a 4690k and a mobo for 350$.

Save up, or you kinda need to just buy a bit better gpu, or a new MoBo, New CPU and then buy a better GPU

 

You can pick up a cheap board and an i3-4170 pretty cheap

it is

yeah i think the CPU is fine but not the GPU

i agree

it does have an aftermarket

yes i agree

i will upgrade soon
