Finding right cpu and gpu

[NinjaMonkey2017]

Im planing to buy a new pre built computer which is a cyberpower gua1000bst and i was wondering if adding a new cpu would make it better and if so what gph should i get with that

If you're going to replace the GPU and CPU of the prebuilt anyway, why not just build one from scratch and save some cash in the process?

How much is the prebuilt itself? If you build yourself, it's likely you can get better value than a prebuilt PC which are usually overpriced anyway. Or save up the cash and build it all at once.

Building from scratch is around $100-200 cheaper for more performance. Pre-builds cost too much.

For 500 I could try get an i5 and 1060 in that.

The GPU is weak to be honest - a R7 240 isn't going to give much. Sure, it's a bigger hassle but it'll have much better performance for what you pay. $500 should net you a i3 6100 with a RX 480. If you were to invest the extra money intended for the CPU and GPU, you could have a much better build overall.

with that you can have a i5-6600k and a good z170 mobo with a good psu. not the shit one they will have with that

I'm trying that atm but nope. Without the case using decent components it's at $524.

Fair enough. Perhaps a $200 RX 470 would suffice better.

There's some on Newegg for $200.

Id look at getting a pre-loaded debit card to order your parts. The fee you pay would be considerably cheaper than a pre-built and upgrading from there
