I'm concidering a system upgrade.

Hallo, my current system is (yes i know it's crappy):

CPU: http://ark.intel.com/products/53422/Intel-Core-i3-2100-Processor-3M-Cache-3_10-GHz

Video card: nvidia geforce GT 520

Motherboard: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P8H61_PLUS/

RAM: 4 GB ddr3 at 1600Mhz

PSU: random 500W power supply

HDD: random 500gb disk

 

And in order to save some money from buying a clean new system, i was thinking to keep my CPU, my motherboard and my HDD and then upgrade to a nvidia gtx-960, 8gb ram and also change the PSU because it really makes a lot of noise and needs to be replaced. What do you think about this? Will I be albe to play the newest game tittles then, or would i notice bottlenecking?

 

PS: Im also thinking of buying an SSD just enough to store the OS and one or too games at a time, but that's not the main point here

You'll notice a slight bottleneck between the HDD, CPU and GPU. Upgrade your GPU, PSU, and grab an SSD and a new CPU.

get a 380 and you should be good, then get an i5 2500 when you can afford it or i7 2600

With your build,

Just buy a 1x4 kit of ram. Your ram SHOULD have the voltages, ect so you can get ram that will,work with it.

For the GPU, an R9 380 will work. It will bottleneck, but it is fine for now.

The PSU, I suggest a minimum 600w. EVGA GS or G2, any XFX or SeaSonic will also work.

You have a Sandy Bridge CPU, maybe check on EBAY for a i5-2400-i5-2500k or if you see a good deal on an i7-2600/k
