upgrade PC upgrade

[MrSycyS]

Hello! 
I'm not very experienced with pc build, but I want to upgrade my pc in near future and cannot spend more than 150-200 euros right now. I use only one monitor and pc is mostly used for net surfing and gaming.

So my "rig" consists of:
CPU - AMD A8-6600K 3.9 GHz (with integrated GPU, but not using)

GPU - GeForce GTX 750Ti 2GB

PSU - 500W (if not mistaken)

RAM - 16GB(8GBx2) Ballisti 1866MHz CL:9

MOBO - ASUS A88XM-A

 

I started without seperate GPU and with one RAM stick, because i needed a pc and couldn't spend much on it. After a while (when i tried to play games with 20 fps) i bought another identical RAM stick and by using dual chanel mode got some frames up. After another year, i bought GTX 750Ti and now haven't upgraded anything for more than a year. I can play games most games on max resolution and 60 fps up to years 2010-2011, but any other than that starts lagging.

Mostly build was affected by lack of money at the right time and all these parts were recomended to me by others, this was my first ever contact with pc build.

 

Basicly i want to know if there are any plausible effective upgrades i could do or should i better save up for mostly new pc.

 

I Thank you for your time in advance!!!

To be honest you would be better off saving for a new rig. AMD's APUs are very weak in terms of CPU performance, so much so that even Intel Pentium CPUs that are a couple generations old would easily outmatch the APU.

Agreed with above. You should probably get a fresh new build to work with.

An upgrade is in order, like the others have said.

I see. But if building something new, could my GPU be used for games from recent years or is just not enough really?
I'd like to believe that my RAM and PSU could still stay with me even after upgrading.

You can keep the GPU, as it's still pretty decent for older games. The RAM can be retained as well, depending on what CPU and motherboard combo you go with.

 

PSU? That depends on the model. If it's not 80 Plus at the very least, then throw it out and get a decent one.

If I were you I would build a new Computer with the following parts:

 

CPU: Intel Pentium G4560

GPU: Keep the GTX 750

Mobo: Asrock B250 Pro4 ATX

RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 2x4GB 2133Mhz

Case: Corsair 200R

PSU: Corsair CXM 450W 80+ Bronze

 

You could upgrade your GPU to an RX580 now or at a later time to increase your horsepower.

 

This PC would cost you about 300$ if you use your current GPU and Harddisks/SSD

 

You may need to save up for this for a bit longer but you would have an upgradable budget PC.

 

If you would rather have an AMD CPU tell me and I'll look into it!

For AMD I would recommend

 

Mobo: Asrock 350B Pro4 ATX

CPU: Ryzen 1400

 

Note However that this would be about 100$ more expensive so about 400$.
