Hi guys first time on the forum... yey.

 

So my current pc is junk.

Which is:

MSI GF615M-P33 Mobo

AMD Athlon II X2 245 2.90 GHz Proccesor

Nvidia GeForce GTS 250 GPU

4 GB Ram some shitty chinese company

320 GB WD HDD (yes it's not enough)

Gigabyte GE-P450-C2 450W PSU

And a Cooler Master case model unknown

 This was a pre-built pc my parents bought me 6 years ago only component different is the GPU bought 5-4 years ago.

Also I have a Asus Vx239 1080p monitor which I use with both my PS4 and PC both with HDMI.

 

The PC I'm planning to build now is:

MSI 970 GAMING AM3+ Mobo

AMD FX X8350 4 GHz Processor

MSI R9 380 4G GAMING GPU

7200 Rpm 1 TB Seagate Barracuda

OCZ Trion 120 GB SSD

Kingston (2x4GB) HyperX Beast 2133 Mhz RAM

Cooler Master G650M 80+ 650W PSU

 

I have 2 questions. Question 1: How is the pc I'm planning to build

Question 2: Since I don't have money right know should I upgrade my pc and how can I upgrade it because getting the new one wont happen soon...

 

Thanks for help!!!!

Well what's your budget? AMD is fine for budget builds but not as great performance compared to Intel. Go Intel if possible.

 I choose AMD because my budget is not too high I live in Turkey my budget is somewhere around 2,500-3,000 Turkish lira which is the equivalent of ​872$-1047$

Upgrade paths, but I didn't realise it was a budget build though, so an 8350 would be fine.

Okay, what peripherals would you like to be included? (i.e mouse, keyboard, monitor, operating system, headphones, speakers, etc).

 

Or do you have a separate budget for peripherals / already own them?

Peripherals are out of this budget I mean you can try to build a pc with peripherals included into this budget but it won't be good I have os is not a problem, Edifer M1550 is my beloved speaker system, monitor as I said Asus vx239 Which I'm using right now, got a Marshall headphone no need for a gaming one yet, mouse and keyboard can,will be bought

Anything above 75$ bought from another country goes straight to Customs here and It may never get out :) Even if it does I'll have to pay a huge amount of tax

https://www.sanalmarketim.com/pc_topla/ maybe you guys can have a look at this site you just click on tabs It has nothing with Turkish I'd really appreciate that @FixedDevice
