Not going to get much for that, you need a new GPU and CPU. If you get a new CPU you need a new motherboard and RAM, but if you get a new GPU your CPU is too slow to keep up. You are in a catch 22 here man. Wait a little longer and save up around 500, then you will have options

What is your storage device? Also you should invest in a new keyboard that has a working shift or caps lock key.

how come i need to upgrade gpu

[Saddy]

Your gpu is perfectly fine, but you asked for more fps, which would collide with your gpu.

do u know if that is compatible with my current setup

 

[Saddy]

Oh yeah, from what I can see it is not compatible. Sorry my friend.

[jack snee]

Oh

It seems that with your motherboard you have the best CPU you can have, so you may need to invest another motherboard. I would make another thread for that.

So? High end Maxwell can still max out every AAA game 60fps flawlessly. 

 

Not everyone has money to spend on a computer. Really even a 4th gen Intel cpu is better than what he has now.

Believe it or not, used stuff actually isn't all that much cheaper. You can get over $300 for a used 4790K right now. And that is a 3 year old CPU.

Well becase that CPU is still comparable to today's cpus. 

 

And 275 is the sweet spot for a 4790k

Yeah, but so is something like a 4770K, 4690K, 4590, 4460. All that stuff is not cheap

Beats having to buy new ram too, DDR4 ram will run you over $100 for 8gb

Not in the U.S. That only runs you $60-$70 here

I guess they have gone down since a few weeks ago. But still $65 for 8gb is too much, half that for ddr3. 

 

Besides he can only spend $100 so he can get like a 240gb SSD to help and that's it
