[xIPhertoRican]

Hello 

im planning to upgrade my pc but im in a really tight budget i can only spend around $250-$350 and i want to know what should i upgrade

 

here is my setup right now

Motherboard: MSI 760GM-P23

CPU: AMD FX-4100

GPU: Zotac GTX 650

PSU: Pixxo 500w 

HDD: 2x Old PS3 HDD 80GB

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo

SSD or GPU

I'd get a new GPU and hard drive, you need more storage!

[JupiteL]

HDD. Save some and upgrade your GPU later.

CPU and motherboard, 8320 and GD65 and later GPU upgrade

In order of priority, 1 being the highest priority:

1.PSU (Don't risk it with your current PSU)

2.Storage (160GB isn't enough for a PC)

3.GPU (GTX 650 is decent for low budget, so it's not the highest priority)

4.Motherboard (You can't upgrade the CPU to an 8 core until you get a better motherboard)

5.CPU (Your CPU is decent enough, and huge processing upgrades can't take place until others are upgraded)

If you can spare 3.5 hours to go to a Microcenter in Duluth, GA, they have amazing deals on CPU and motherboard bundles. For example, you can get an FX 8320 with an MSI 970A-G46 for $180 + tax.

Using $300 you can get all of these awesome things, get your upgrade on dude!

 

PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817159124 $29.99 Ultra cheap, seems decent, if you don't like it check other options.

HDD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA2W00YU4026 $69.99 1TB WD.

GPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125476 $199.99 Gigabyte R9 270X.

 

Edit: Don't listen to the guys telling you to upgrade your CPU and motherboard or get an SSD first, non-sense! Your gaming experience will remain the same and I'm sure you don't want that. your FX-4100 is fine and will handle this card without an issue, your gaming performance will be much better if you get these upgrades.

This will make a world of difference in the usability of the system, allow you to max out many games at that resolution, and give some more freedom for storage.
