Should i upgrade?

[Capuccino]

Hello everybody, i've bought my pc 3 years ago and i noticed that recently it is starting to not run so smoothly with some new games and i want to make the right upgrade (within my budget), my idea was to upgrade my mobo and cpu first so in the future i can get a better vga, but i don't know for sure if it is the right choice, here are my current setup:

 

i5 3330
gigabyte gtx 760
gigabyte B75M-D3H
cougar RX 500w
2x gskill ddr3 1600mhz 4gb

 

I first tought i should just get 2x8gb ram, but them i read that my cpu limits at 1600mhz (right?), and it might not be such a great idea. Since my cpu uses lga 1155 ill probably need a new mobo to get a new cpu.

I mostly use it for games, don't care about the ultra graphics really, just wanna run everything i can play. Ill not overclock, so i don't think i need a motherboard that overprice only because of that.

Im kinda new in the forum, so sorry if this is the wrong thread.

 

Thanks :).

I'd grab a new GPU

 

your cpu is fine for most titles.

It will, but ram speed doesn't make a big difference at all.

 

Id get the ram and maybe a ssd. I look pretty good now.

Upgrade your GPU, your RAM and CPU are fine.

New GPU, 8GB ram is fine, and CPU still has some life left.

Thanks alot everybody, it got me out of spending money with nonsense.

So on the topic, ideally, i could run the last generation with no problems? Like gtx 1080 or rx 480?

I recommend you get an RX 480/R9 390/1060 anything more powerful would cause a CPU bottleneck in most cases.

It depends. If you decided tp get a 1080, and your CPU is holding it back, how soon before you can update your motherboard/cpu and potentially ram?

 

If you dont plan on a cpu upgrade for a couple of years, stick with something like what Arc said above.

Ye, if i go with that kinda of vga upgrade it would probably be some months before i could upgrade my mobo/cpu.
