Hello people;

One year ago a build my budget PC (for gaming) with this specs:

FX 8320 3.5Ghz
GTX 750 2gb (asus oc edition)
8 GB ram
asus m5a78l-m/usb3
I play at 1600x900 ACER monitor (V206HQL).

My question is: will this build be enough for gaming untill 2016 (at 900p)? If not, what do i need to upgrade (budget friendly)? In this PC i was able to play demanding games like Assassin's Creed Unity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwJSZMFn4xI

Thanks!!!

No-one knows what the future holds so it's hard to say, your CPU can't really be upgraded although you could overclock it with a new cooler.

The next logical step up in graphics will be the 270X then after that a GTX 960 or R9 380 although you're CPU may start limiting your games with those graphics cards. But at 900p I'd imagine you'd be fine for 2016 as graphics progression is normally tied to console generation and nothing looks to change much in the next year.

A real budget upgrade is a R7 265, with a slight overclock it can reach R9 270 levels :) If you have the 750Ti I wouldn't bother though
