PC Upgrade advice

Bromhead · 12 Sep 2016 at 19:16

Hi all,

My computer continues to serve me well, but I'd really love to pump some life into it, specs below.

AMD 8320 FX
8GB RAM
Nvidia 670
1TB 7200rpm HDD

I was looking at a budget of around 200, semi-flexible. The obvious choice seems to maybe be a SSD, but loading times don't bother me too much and I may pick up a secondhand one from MM just for the OS.

Besides SSD, is there anything worthwhile to upgrade here within the budget - What say you OCUK gods?

might be better to get this shifted to here https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=8 rather than GD

I'd go ssd as you say. Then probably gfx card. Check out the second hand options - you may well be able to get access to the mm, check the faq

moved for you, ssd would get my vote

For me, I would probably get the SSD as mentioned, then save towards a new CPU + mobo.

I would go with cpu/mobo/ram upgrade,get something like a skylake i3 (either 6100/6300/6320) a cheep but sturdy mobo and 8gb of ddr4 2133 ram,all 3 can be picked up for under £204 delivered next day if shop around

GPU, a 1060 or 480 would be good.

New gfx card.

As you have a 670 any new gfx card will likely fit in your case and still use the same psu.
