I currently have an ancient build I did around 2013-2014. I am thinking of upgrading but as low cost as possible.
Currently Cpu: AMD FX-6300 Black edition
Ram: 16gb DDR3
Graphics: had a R9 270x 2gb but then moved to a Gtx 1050ti
Idea 1: just upgrade to an FX-8350 Black Edition (£35)
Idea 2 upgrade as follows:
CPU: R7 3700X (£70) then in a 1 year or 2 to 5800x3D
Mobo: MSI B450-A Pro Max II (£74) Ram: Patriot Viper Steel 3200mhz (2x16gb) (£45)
Probably add a cpu cooler for about (£15)
Will use the current psu (550W or 650W bronze)
Use is just day to day use and play a few online games, like GW2, was thinking of trying out New World but will see all in 1080p for now.
Or would there be a better AM5 system I could build?
Also I am not picking items from Overclockers shop, let me know if that’s ok or delete the post if not.
Thanks
