help with pc spec

[Sonu]

hi i have a question about my pc here is my spec

psu thermaltake evo blue 650w

case fractal design define r4 (i upgraded my case some of the fans of my old one stopped working and i hate led lights)

 

so i know my pc is old i think its abuot 6-7years old and i do need to upgrade it but i dont know where to start i dont want to spend another £1400 on a new pc if

i can reuse some of my current hardware

iv been looking up some info about cpus but tbh its all lost on me i know i need a new motherboard cpu and graphics card but the thing is i dont know much about cpu and motherboards so i really dont know what to get (i just went with a RoG motherboard becasue it said gamer etc) and i think the ram  is ok but im not sure

 

i do alot of gaming and i work with maya (3d software) zbrush and photoshop so it needs to fit these needs

i wanted to know should i buy a new pc or upgrade what i have and if so what is the best way to look for what i need becasue i really dont know what brands are good and what i should keep away from

 

thank you for your help

I guess a new pc will do wonders, but you don't need to waste that much money. things like your drives and case and psu can be reused i think

OK you can re use your case, power supply, ram, hard drives, optical drive and OS. But I would get a new cpu mobo and graphics card. If you want suggestions for the mobo, gpu, and cpu I can give you some if you give me a budget.

You can probably save your case, maybe hard drives, but if you're doing heavy productivity work, you'll probably want a more powerful CPU, and possibly a workstation GPU if you don't plan on doing any gaming.

 

Also what's your display set up if you're gaming?

And what country/budget?

[Brennan Price]

Im sure that your CPU will be alright cuz I've seen videos of people that still use the 920 because it is a great CPU for the money. It can also hold its own in gaming too.

 

Personally, I think you only need to upgrade your RAM, Graphics card and your Storage so that your OS is onto an SSD

country UK (£ GBP) i do alot of gaming well as much as i can do with what i have and i do work on it 3d and photoshop so it has to be able to render and atm im not having much trouble with the 3d yes its a bit slow and i would love it to be faster but its not a major thing the main reason i want to upgrade is so i can play games more (dark souls 3 came out AND I CANT PLAY IT) so i was thinking about upgrading i didnt know what i needed to upgrade my cpu and motherboard were expensive at the time so i really want to know are they obsolete or are they still good for what i need which is 3d and photoshop work and gaming and ty for the quick reply and the helpful list 19_blackie_73
