r9 380 4gb oc 1050 mhz from sapphiretech

2x4 1866 kingston hyperx fury ram

gigabyte ga 970 d3p mobo

i was asked what i do with my rig and what i plan to do..... it is a gaming rig, but i plan to use it for 3d animating gaming video editing etc... just all kinds of stuff.... i think i might try an ssd no matter what i do. but i dont play most AAA titles.

It looks fine to me, what do you plan on doing with the upgraded PC?

what do you want to do with this build? it will probably hold up on 1080p in most cases. if you would want to upragde anything it would be cpu,motherboard and ram. but if you decide to do so you should wait untill intell launches its new cpu line somewhere in early 2017.

I was thinking about a better CPU and Mobo, but why would he upgrade the ram 8 GB will do him just fine unless he wants to play newest games ultra

8350 is a very capable cpu and perform better than i3 6100

The gpu is still fine for 1080p gaming. the only other upgrade is to get a new cpu, motherboard and ram. you can wait for amd zen if you want to stick with amd or get an intel kaby lake processor. wait for those to come out and see how they perform before you buy though
