Thanks for all your help :D

Hi all,

I dont know if this is the right place to post but here I am.

I have a computer with this components:

- intel core i5 4570 3.2Ghz 6MB

- MSI Radeon R9 270X Gaming 2GB

- XFX Pro 550W core edition

- G.SKILL Ripjaws 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600MHz

- Cooler Master K-280

- SSD 2.5" Kingston HyperX 3k 120GB

- 3.5" Seagate Barracuda 1Tb

- 2x Cooler Master JetFlo 120mm

And the monitor I have is a Benq GL2460 FHD.

 

My question is: I am about to change the room where I have it and since this computer has 3 years, I am thinking about make an upgrade. I dont know if is best to sell it all or piece by piece.

I want play games like gta V, watch dogs 2, battlefield 1....

Your CPU is definitely still pretty good, I'd just go for a GPU upgrade and some more RAM.

For that processor price and its almost for gaming shouldn't buy something more recent like a i5 7600k?

The mobo still have two empty slots and it runs 32GB max

What gpu you advise? 

I buy that 3 years ago with the few money that I had, its not quite silent or good looking. Thats why I am thinking of sell it.

I see you want a fresh build. Sell piece by piece is usually quicker and easier, but if you want a real quick sale then make it cheap.

 

If you can afford the newest chipset then go for it.

Which cpu and gpu you recommend for playing 1080p ?

 

as @deXxterlab97 said, you should upgrade to i7-4790 and with a rx 480 you would play any title at ultra 1080p or also you can wait for vega, which is going to being released this month i have heard (also, remember to tag or quote people, otherwise they will not recieve your answers)

Remember to quote me (or someone else), otherwise we won't going to recieve your answers...
