Hello all, I am looking to increase my gaming performance as my R7 250 is being heavily bottlenecked by my CPU/RAM. I don't know which to buy first, 4 GB RAM (max motherboard supports) or an Athlon II X2 250-270 (all around same price)
Right now I have:
Athlon 64 X2 4800+
2 GB 800 MHZ DDR2 (400 MHz per dimm, max board supports)
Which would help my gaming performance the most? Buying the CPU, or buying the RAM first?
I don't have much money so I can probably buy one of them tomorrow, and buy the other in a month or so. If you need any other specs I'd be willing to provide.
Honestly I think the CPU first would be a better idea, since when I overclocked my 4800+ my frame rate practically doubled in every game. I just want to get some other opinions before tomorrow when I go on Amazon or Ebay to buy the component I will need.
Good day.
