Hi all,
Looking for some advice in upgrading my system to be able to tackle the "next gen" games on the PC. I currently run;
AMD Phenom ii 955BE 3.2GHz
4GB DRR2 Ram
ATI HD 5770
Gigabyte AM3+ Mobo.
500GB Seagate HD.
400Watt PSU but this can be replaced easily.
I am able to run the likes of BF3 with a good fps with medium to high settings and would just like to work towards making the PC a bit more current.
I have 6GB of DRR3 1600MHz a mate is giving me but the Mobo I have does not support DRR3 ram. I was thinking of purchasing a new MOBO and a AMD FX 8350 with the new Ram but since my PC is only used for gaming and some internet browsing I'm not sure which way to move since a lot of place indicate that a Graphics card is the single best upgrade but with my system being so old I'm wondering could the graphics card hold off for a few months or not? I'm think of getting the R9 270x, yes I do enjoy the bang for buck AMD products
I don't have a great budget for this since I have a new baby at home but basically 300 quid sterling so could possibly only afford the Mobo + CPU or Mobo + GPU.
In fact if it wasn't for my birthday I'm pretty sure the Mrs wouldn't even be allowing it lol. I don't require savage FPS or anything like, I just want to enjoy games at a solid 50+ fps, Dragon Age Inquisition or Rome 2 Total War.
Any help would be greatly appreciated guys.
