Upgrading

Mortanto · 13 Aug 2018 at 08:03

Hello,

Looking to make some efficient upgrades to my pc that I built in 2013 - would I be right in thinking graphics card would be the best thing to upgrade first here?

CPU - Intel core-i5 4670k 3.40Ghz (1150 socket)
MSI HD 7950 3072mb
RAM - Patriot Viper "Black mamba" gen 3 8Gb 2133Mhz
GPU - Gigabyte Z87-HD3 Intel z87 (socket 1150) ddr3 atx motherboard
POWER - thermaltake smart m550w

Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks

Yes a GPU upgrade would be one of the first things you could do.

What monitor do you have? do you have a standard 1080p@60hz?

Yeah two standard 1080p@60hz.

All depends on your budget and the .Screen res

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Gigabyte Radeon RX VEGA 64 WindForce OC 8GB HBM2 PCI-Express Graphics Card= £449.99
1 x Bitfenix Whisper M Series 650W 80 Plus Gold Modular Power Supply= £89.99

Total: £551.08 (includes shipping: £11.10)

Might be a bit ott for one 1080p 60hz screen but if you game with 2..

Of not rx580 or gtx 1060

Currently AMD are giving away 3 free games
