So I built a pc in 2011 and I am wondering if I should build a whole new one or just overclock my processor? The processor is a phenom II X4 955 BE and last year, I paired it with an R9 270 so it has allowed me to play a lot recent releases but I want to continue playing new games with out spending a whole lot of money. If I were to build a new computer, I would just use a lot of the parts I have (psu, hard drive, ram) but I am not sure if I would get a new case and I would need a new motherboard since it is an AM3. I know that I can try to overclock it but the idea of doing that scares me and I do not want to destroy anything. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do? Does anyone have any suggestions on what parts I should get if I was to upgrade?
