New Pc build/ Upgrade

cool19971

Ok ive been using a okish gaming pc build for the past few years and have come to the conclusion I need to get some serious upgrades. My current build is this: 

 

CPU : A10-6700 ( I know apu was a bad choice ) 

GPU: GTX-770 ( I know my processor is bottlenecking my gpu that is the main reason for upgrade) 

RAM: 8 gig ddr3 

Case: Asus M11BB

PSU: corsair CX750m

Motherboard: Asus F2A55-M 

Hard Drive: WD blue 1tb 

 

Since i'm on a fairly tight budget instead of building a totally new gaming pc I plan to reuse my gpu, psu, ram, and harddrive. My current plans for new parts are as follows:

 

CPU: AMD FX-8350 

Motherboard: MSI 970A-G43 Plus

RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) ( this is with my current 8 gigs of ram for a total of 16 )

SSD:  Mushkin Enhanced ECO2 2.5" 240GB SATA III 

Case: Rosewill Black SECC Steel USB 3.0 Mid Tower Computer Case Cases REDBONE U3

Plus other reused components ( PSU, GPU, RAM, Hard Drive ) 

 

What is your opinion on this build upgrade???

Get rid of that amd cpu and motherboard, get a 4th generation i5. That way you can reuse your ram.

Also want to mention  I am fully aware of intel making faster processors for gaming but on a personal level I would prefer an amd processor nothing against intel just a slight amd fan in a sense

You do understand what that cpu is 4+ years old, and you are going to be getting much more for your money going with an intel cpu.

Dont really want to buy used looking more towards new.

also will consider an intel cpu was not aware of the 4 years of age on that cpu. If you could give me a specific recommendation.

If you are an AMD fan, wait for Zen. It will perform better and maybe compete with Intel
