Hello! I currently have a computer running an AMD A6-3500 APU with an ASUS F1A75-M LE motherboard.
I've been thinking about upgrading it to be able to comfortably run "some" modern games (not needed at HIGH ULTRA detail) along with (and most often) some low-demanding mini games.
We've been having trouble with Child of Light (it doesn't even run)
My options as of today:
1 - Buy a graphics card ( R7 250x or 260x -> 90€ vs 97€). My fear is that the processor would hold the graphics back...
2 - Upgrade MOBO + Processor (since it's a FM1, would need FM2(+).
Which Processor would you recommend? A modern, powerful APU?
Let's say I could spend 100-200€ top. In which case would I find more differences in general and gaming performance
Aside from this, the computer also has:
Recently purchased:
A new case
Corsair CX430 v2
Moved from another computer:
Crucial 120GB SSD
2x4GB RAM from Kingston
