Check My New Core Component Upgrade for £1000

[alex2zulu]

Hi, im looking to upgrade my FX-8350, R390. I play all sorts of titles, battlefield, Anthem (lately), assasins creed, ghost recon, oculus titles. Lots. Needless to say, mostly games.
I play everything at 1080, i do have a 4k tv so that might be a thing in the future, not a major factor though.

So far ive come up with this. Can you give me any advice on new hardware and alternatives

Hi, im looking to upgrade my FX-8350, R390.

what is the exact specs of your current computer? (ie: down to the cooler, psu etc)

 

[EsaT]

Yeah, CPU sounds so old that also other parts might need changing.
Though unless case was already outdated by then that should be usable.

 

[alex2zulu]

Got a 600watt psu, cooler is some hyper closed loop water cooler jobbie. Rams not compatable as far as im aware, case is fine, bluray drive is fine. Got a 256gb samsung ssd, a 1tb HDD.

Got a 600watt psu

brand? model? age?

 

[alex2zulu]

Standard evga 600watt about 3 years. The osu is good unless those components are massive power hogs.
Honestly im just after a good match between core parts

 

[pastymuncher]

That will be the cheap HEC built rubbish then. That needs replacing as well. Vega 64 is a power hog and we usually recommend at least a quality 650w psu, preferably higher, for builds with one of those in it.

 

[alex2zulu]

Righto, any recomendes brands?
