Danzas4321 · Jan 6, 2014

Hey GUys. in the coming months i may up[grade some parts in my PC. what would you recommend? i current;y have:
MSi R9 270X GAMING 2G
AMD athlon x4 760kOced @ 4.5Ghz ( same architecture as the FX series chips and is quad core)
8GB RAM.
1TB HDD.

So what should i get next? Please try to keep the upgrade as cheap as possible but good enough so it wont break

Get a SSD for OS+Games, keep your HDD for storage

wouldn't recommend the 125GB version as it has slower writing speed 120MB/s less than the 250GB, worth every penny.

And you should probably look into upgrade CPU as well, don't know if you wanna stay AMD way? otherwise go for Intel, better for gaming

Honestly dont mind. went for AMD for budget reasons and the 6300 was more expensive back in June in the UK

Might look into an i5
