Hello wise and experienced pc builders,
I would like some advice on upgrading certain components on a current pc that I have. My upgrades are unfortunately on quite low budget at the current moment but I am asking this question in order to gain more experience on parts and upgrades.
Few things to know:
1) I am working on a pre-built pc (no barking allowed), both due to a gift being made to me and the serious lack of time to actually build a desktop from scratch. And yes, I am aware of all the benefits lost from not having built the pc myself ( cheap, better bang for your buck, better machine, etc), but these are truly not the comments I am looking for. I need to work with what I have here.
Pc Specs and brand is the following:
Cybertron Borg-Q GM4213A Desktop
3.80 GHz AMD FX-4130 Quad-Core Processor (Processor Max Turbo Speed: 3.90GHz)
8 GB Installed Memory
1 TB Serial ATA Hard Drive (7200 RPM, 6 GB/s)
Dual-layer DVD±RW drive
GeForce GT610 Graphics
450 watt power supply
Windows 8.1 64-bit
2) I am not looking for high-end, top high quality game play. As long as the games can be playable and enjoyable (low to mid range fps and no hideous lagging), I will be more than content.
3) I am interested in playing games such as Civilization 5, Sims 3, SimCity, Deus Ex, Dragon Age: Origins, Assassin Creed 5, Skyrim, and the Witcher 3. Again, as long as they are are playable, I will consider it mission accomplished.
4) I am already thinking of upgrading the graphics card to a gtx 750ti 2 GB and maybe the power supply (550 W, perhaps?). What other upgrades to the CPU would you suggest on a budget if necessary?
5) I am sadly on a low monthly budget at the current moment (only about $200-$300 possible for upgrades).
Thank you all in advance for your time and consideration. I hope the message was not too much of a hassle to read and your feedback is much appreciated..
