PC Upgrades

[JFischer00]

Okay, so I currently have a computer with a G3258 and a HD 7850. Which one should I upgrade first and what do recommend upgrading to?

The G3258 to an i3. Also, what PSU do you have?

[Memories4K]

CPU, save for a 4690k or 4790k

 

Although if you have a complete shit PSU that you're not telling us about, i'd replace that first *cough* CX430M *cough*

Well, I do have a CX430M, but I already planned on upgrading that to this.

That's a good power supply, i'd personally go with the G2 but the one you listed is good.

If that's the case then upgrade your CPU first.

What's the difference?

Its hard to say which one you should do first, the GPU I would go for is the 380 (if you like AMD) or a 960 (if you want to switch over to team green). And the processor I think would be best for your situation is an i5 4690k, but if you want multi tasking better go with a 4790k. Generally since gaming is mostly GPU intensive, I would go GPU first and then the CPU ASAP because that low dual core will be bottle necking any decent video card.

So I'm looking at about $470 worth of upgrades for CPU, GPU, and PSU. Okay, that's not bad for that performance. What if I wanted to go a little more mid-range, like an i3? What would a good GPU upgrade be for that?
