As far as i know, the only thing good about my build is the psu. I want to upgrade my hardware, but i don't know what should i upgrade first.. Im using my pc for games, dota 2(40fps)/cs go and recently installed gta v(tried if my pc can handle it) running on low settings with 30 fps. I want to play more games from steam but im hesitating if my pc can handle it which is why i tried one of the games that i like with low system requirements(compare to the list of games that i like/want to try) which is gta v. So im not sure what should i upgrade first. Budget is 600usd, what should i up first? im planning on recording my gameplays, planning on streaming aswell(not now, i want to focus on pc performance)

If it was me I'd scrap/sell the CPU, mobo and GPU and keep everything else and replace the mobo with a z97 type and get an i5 to match that way u can use your ram, psu, case, ssd and hdd with a shiny new 1060 or 480

Budget in Php? I'm guessing 25k?

 

What do you think of Dynaquest? They have slightly lower prices.

30k in php to be exact, a bit cheaper but not that low to make a difference. few hundreds cheaper and it doesnt offer much options aswell. the only sure/worth upgrade that i can get now(base on the pricing of the local stores here) that suits my budget is mobo ram proc.

EasyPC doesn't have GTX 1060's. They have 970's though but I don't think they're worth it even at 14k.

RX480 Nitro is 14.5-15k, more expensive than the faster 1060 6gb. It's also not available on EasyPC.

 

Your case can fit all types of motherboard sizes except for the very large E-ATX ones.
