[Q] GPU and RAM

[SenpaiUchi]

Hello everyone, I wanted to buy a new Graphics card, replace my GT 630 with a new one. My budget for the GPU is 200$ to 250$ and for the RAM is 50$ or less. Anyone can help any recommendation of what GPU and RAM should I buy?

 

This is my current build:

 

CPU: AMD A8-5600K Trinity

GPU: Nvidia GT 630 1GB

PSU: AcBel CE2 500W

RAM: Kingston 99U5474-026.A00LF 4GB

MoBo: MSI FM2-A55M-E33

Fan: Stock included with the Chassis

Chassis: Epraizer frontier Noble 09A

Keyboard: Logitech K120

Mouse: Logitech M100 Optical Mouse

Monitor: Philips 191EL (1366x768)

 

Note:

 

* The only two things I can replace is GPU and RAM.

* I'll be gladly to take everything into consideration for each recommendation regarding GPU and RAM.

* Budget is around 250 - 300$ for both GPU and RAM.

* I also live in Philippines but I'll try to order it via online (NewEgg or Amazon).

* I play casual game but now I plan to step up.

* I do casual video editing as well.

* Nvidia or AMD will do for GPU.

* Any RAM Brand will do as well.

Also please link the GPU and RAM so I can see the price and brand. Thank you

750 Ti + 4GB of RAM

To be honest that system is very dire looking.

The whole platform needs to be changed (to haswell or skylake)

The only things i would keep from that rig are :

Keyboard and mouse

Maybe the ram too (to chuck in with another 4GB)

Other than that, the whole lot needs to go

 

BUT

if you need just a GPU and ram upgrade, get a R9 270 + 4GB ram.

That will give a good improvement.

However you will reap even more rewards by buying a 1080p monitor from the leftover Cash-Money.

I plan to change the RAM to 8GB should I still get 750 Ti and can it play some of this games on Ultra setting 60fps or more?

 

• Fallout 4
• GTA V
• Metal Gear Solid V
• Black Ops 3
• The Sims 4
• Assassin's Creed Unity and Syndicate
• Mad Max
• The Witcher
• Crysis
• Tomb Raider
• Just Cause

nope - you'll be luck to get medium 60 fps. you can't get ultra with that CPU or that budget

I will only buy GPU and RAM first and change the other parts in the Q2/Q3 2016. But for now I'm only focusing in GPU and RAM. Let say GTX 9XX or Radeon R9 XXX series and 8GB RAM

The games I will play will be and more to come.

• Fallout 4
• GTA V
• Metal Gear Solid V
• Black Ops 3
• The Sims 4
• Assassin's Creed Unity and Syndicate
• Mad Max
• The Witcher
• Crysis
• Tomb Raider
• Just Cause

I see. Thanks. I'll get the GPU and RAM first and change the other parts around Q2/Q3 of 2016.
