Upgrade computer or buy PS4

foober96 · Dec 26, 2013

My computer specs:

Dell Studio XPS 7100
AMD Athlon II X4 630 Processor 2.8 GHz
ATI Radeon HD 5770
8 GB RAM

I do have a PS3 and every game I like to play on that. I love gaming on PC and PS3 pretty equally.
I have $425 to spend so...upgrade computer or get a PS4? If upgrade PC, what should I get?

Personally, Upgrade the PC. So much cheaper in the long run, assuming you're here for gaming that is.

For that money you should start new and keep your gpu until you can get a really nice one. If its still in the budget even a more current budget gpu would do fine.

Upgrade the PC, replace the CPU with an FX-6300 and the graphics card with a GTX770, you'l have a PC much more powerful than a PS4.

This plan kind of assume you have an AM3+ board, might be AM3 given the CPU.

Would he need to upgrade psu with the cpu and gpu if mobo will support it?

Unfortunately the board is AM3, so no FX, only Phenom Thuban.

Maximum CPU upgrade preferably Phenom II X6 1075T Black Edition, Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition or Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition. With Black Edition, this particular XPS model is overclockable, not easy but possible.
PSU, any ATX will fit.
RAM can go to at least 16 GB.

If above processors sound OK, I would also invest into new case for better ventilation for overclock.

This is about it, in short, for XPS 7100.

Anything else I can help you with?
