What should i upgrade

Snakkey

I have a computer that is pretty entry level, with a radeon r7 250, an amd fx-6300(6 cores), a low end gigabyte mobo (ddr3 supports sli/cf. Am3+), 8 gigs of cheap ddr3 ram, 500 gig harddrive, 350 w antec psu, stock cpu cooler, and a 120 mm fan.

 

I was looking to upgrade slowly and first i was wondering if i should get the gq 650w or 750 version, but i am open to suggestions. I also was looking to upgrade to the 1070 (msi gaming x). tell me what is in most need of upgrade.

If you're gonna stay with only one card then get a 650w or maybe 550w PSU.  Definitely upgrade to a 1070 but you'll need the PSU for that.  Then maybe upgrade the CPU to an i7 4790, 6600 or 6700.  But to do that you'll need a different mobo so while you're at that you can get a DDR4 mobo and some new ram probably 12 or 16 gb would be good.

i5 12600k | ASRock Z690M-ITX 32GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3200MHz | EVGA 2080 Super Black | Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500GB + 980 1TB | Corsair RMx 650W | Thermaltake Tower 100 White

Get an EVGA 500B 500W 80+ Bronze PSU and.....maybe the RX 480 (save some money) or the GTX 1070

Then you want to upgrade that CPU to an i5 6500

Lastly, get a 1TB SSHD from Seagate

I was thinking about getting a 650 because I want to oc everything. I originally wanted 480 cf but i don't want to take the risk of sli and the amd problems, so I was thinking about 1070.
