Good day. I know its kind of lame to ask advice on upgrades on these days, but I still need help.
So I have AMD based PC, and bought around 4-5 years ago. Changed some parts in those years (PSU, CPU cooler). And after 3 years of using found cloud gaming better option for some time, but its time to think about something better. Even completely new system.

So my PC specs are:

CPU - AMD Athlon X4 860K Quad Core Processor 3.69 GHz
GPU - AMD Radeon R7 360
Motherboard - MSI A68HM-E33 v2
PSU - CoolerMaster 400 lite
RAM - HyperX Fury 8GB DDR3 1866MHz
SSD - Kingston 500Gb + Kingston 120Gb

P.S. I know I could just by a new one but might be there is someone who could give me some advice. Thanks in advance.
 
Adding 8 gig of matching ram and a better gpu (which might also force a more powerful psu) are your only options for your current rig. The only problem is that its really just throwing good money after bad as your rig is a few generations out of date.

You would be better upgrading it all with a nice new rig. Maybe even a ryzen with a gpu inside as your cloud gaimng.

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £473.46 (includes shipping: £10.50)

or Intel

Although I believe that AMD's onboard gpu are still stronger than intels are. Although still not exsactly steller a proper gpu like a 1050/1650/1660 ot AMD rx6600 would totally destroy the intergrated but the price of GPU is still stupid ATM even second hand ones. :(
 
Thank you dfour for so fast response. And you are right about the prices of GPU. They are to much for average person :(. But your shopping list might help me with the findings of good future upgradable option. Thank you for that. :D

The option dfour put forward with the AMD 5600G build is an excellent option for a budget build. In the long term, you can add a standalone GPU to it later on for a nice bump in performance.
