In September 12 2014, im go shopping and i have around 300 euros to spend to build a new computer...

And i already have some parts:

CPU: Athlon X4 750k

Mobo: MSI FM2-A55M-E33

GPU: MSI Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition - 1 Go

RAM: G.Skill Kit Extreme3 2 x 4 Go PC12800 Sniper CAS 9 LV

Also i already have PSU and drives, (not SSD)


And im thinking on this purchase:

GPU: Sapphire Radeon R9 270X Dual X OC - 2 Go 155,99 €

MOBO: MSI A88X-G43 72,49 €

Case (i need a new case with fans included): Advance Vortex - USB 3.0 Edition 49,99 €

SSD: Samsung Serie 840 EVO - 120 Go 69,49 €


TOTAL: 347,96

With that new mobo i can run the x4 750k and i think i do not need a new ram...

I cannot spend more of 350 euros...

Please give some advice... and i wanna stay with some components that i already have.



Thank you :)

I don't think you're going to see a substantial difference with your GPU. In my opinion, the upgrade is too small for the money you spend on it. I'd advice to wait untill you can buy the R9 290 or 280X.

And why would you upgrade the mainboard that is a totally useless upgrade. What you need is a AM3+ socket processor and mainboard if you want to upgrade for gaming (the FM2 socket is for a dual GPU/CPU). That's what I'd do first. Suggestion:
- AMD FX-8350 Black Edition (€150)
- ASRock 990FX Extreme3 (€90) or another 990FX mainboard
- 256GB SSD for windows and most used games (€100)

Later, buy a new case, GPU and PSU when you have the money. Good luck!

Yes, 8GB will be fine. Today, 16GB is not yet required. Your RAM is DDR3 so you could even use it in a new mainboard. Just check if it supports DDR3-12800. It all depends on what you want to spend but the first bottleneck I'd kill is the processor (and thus mainboard).
