I have quite an old and outdated pc the configurations are as follows:


m2n68-am plus motherboard
Amd athalon le 1640 processor
No dedicated gpu just an internal onboard nvidia geforce 7025/ nforce630 a
A 330 w psu.
2gb ddr2 ram
I want to upgrade my pc for gaming but the problem is
I am a student from india and i just starded doing a part time job. The thing is i have just 16000 rs(276.5$) right now as my savings and i decided to get myself an r9 270x gpu and a cx 430 psu tu run it ( researched it on net that they both are compatible). Then in november (around my birthday) ill invest another 18000 rs (311.4$) on my processor motherboard and ram.

Please suggest me these 6-7 months my pc would be bottlenecked. How serious is the issue in terms of gameplay experience anything i can do to avoid it. Will i see any improvent in frames per second even in a bottlenecked pc.

Ps. I want quite a future proof budget gaming pc so please dont suggest me to go 4 cheaper gpu or other parts

yes the bottle neck with your 1 core cpu ang a 270x would be pretty dramatic. even if you get a lower end gpu to go in your current setup you will runinto issues with 2gb of ram and the 1 core athlon. i would wait until you have around 600 and build a new pc with the money.

Is it advisable that i get
Kingston HyperX Blu DDR3 4 GB PC RAM
Asus m5a97 mother board
And
AMD 3.5 AM3+ FX 6-Core Edition FX-6300 Processor

For now and buy the gpu and power supply later in november when i have the money? will this device without dedicated gpu play games like sims 3 and call of duty modern warfare 1 (at low settings)? And then in november if i add a gpu n power supply to this build will it get bottlenecked?

the only thing is the fx-6300 doesnt have integrated graphics and neither does the mother board so you wouldnt even be able to use the computer. i would wait to buy the entire setup. if you absolutely must have the gpu + power supply now it will run in your setup but at very low performance. if it were me i would wait though because by then you might have enough for a 860 or a broadwell intel cpu.

no it should be better but you would only be using around 15-20% (best guess) of the gpu its self and 100% of your cpu. so your system may run slower. i would honestly just wait. i have never seen some one try to pain a highend gpu and a really lowend cpu but you may have worse performance than you do now as it would be pushing your cpu to its absolute limits. if you ae dead set that you are going to buy this setup you can get it and if you get worse performance you can just take it out and wait until you have the rest of the components.
