I have a small pot of money with which to rebuild/upgrade my PC, but as this pot is limited, I am unsure where to invest it.
So my current set up is an I7 2700k with 16Gb Ram and a Nvidia 680 GTX gfx card, I have a Samsung SSD as the boot drive, there are other drives in my system but they aren’t entirely relevant to this question
I have a minimum of £300 to spend, but potentially could stretch that to £500.
i am not expecting to get a 4K gaming beast out of this but I am looking to arrive at a modest gaming system, so the question is would I be better off spending the money on a new gfx card or a motherboard/cpu/ram combo and stick with the existing card?
i know the ideal scenario would be to get both, but that isn’t going to happen on my budget.
i am not precious about sticking with Intel/Nvidia and have been looking at the Ryzen CPU’s as an option.
any suggestions would be helpful
