Hello!

So I've bought a pre-made PC and I'm upgrading the PSU and GPU this week, and I know I should probably upgrade the CPU too, if not even the MoBo.

So I'm kindly asking this community, if anyone could tell me what suits my system and necessities best.

I'm not thinking of having anything too powerful. Just enough to play games like GTA 4 and 5 or Battlefield 3 & Sims 3 in a normal Full HD 1920x1080 resolution, 1 monitor, with high to ultra settings at not so high FPS but enough for the game to be played without stutters (so basically 30+). If everything is fine for the moment and I'll be able to normally play these games for quite some time, then I'll take in consideration upgrading after a while, I'd just like to be sure there won't be any interferences between compatibility and such since I'm a newbie with these things. 

 

CPU

AMD A10 5800K @3800MHz

Motherboard

MSI A78M-E35 (MS-7721)

RAM

8192 MB

New GPU 

Asus GeForce GTX 750 Ti (GTX750TI-OC-2GD5)

Storage

Western Digital WD10EZRX-00L4HB0 (1000GB)

New PSU

Seasonic M12II EVO 520W

Case

LC ATX Midi 7010B

 

My old "gpu" was integrated and was AMD Radeon HD 7660D, and old PSU was LC-Power LC420H-12

Thank you in advance

It's fine, I guess. But I'd look for a used Gtx 950 or 960 rather than getting a 750ti, if you can afford it. You'll be a lacking bit on graphics horsepower, you should invest a bit more into it.

whats your max budget?

I think my max budget could still afford the 950 but I didn't even take it in consideration, I thought it would be a waste for my current setup. Alrighty then I guess I'll go for the 950.

 

I'm sorry for the language, I hope the numbers will be enough to understand what it's saying a part from the pictures but which one of these should I get? Or it doesn't matter?
