Is it Worth Buying a New GPU?

Jar121 · Oct 25, 2015

Hello, I have been starting to play some new games that require better hardware than I currently have and was wondering if it is worth just upgrading my graphics card or save up some money for a new computer. Here are my current specs:
-Processor: AMD Athlon X4 760K
-MOBO: MSI A78M-E35
-GPU: Sapphire Radeon R7 260X
-RAM: 8GB Crucial Ballistix Sport
-SSD: Kingston 240gb
-PSU: 430W Corsair CX430
-Case: Corsair SPEC-01

Thanks for reading, have a nice day/night!

well, personally I would just do a brand new pc, keep case, ssd and ram and upgrade everything but that is because I love intel so that is slightly biased! however your cpu should run fine with newer games however your gpu would want upgrading but so would your PSU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that is not a great psu and if you are thinking of upgrading your gpu you would definetly need a new one and get seasonic you will not regret it at all. <full stop needed! corsair cx series is not a good make of psu, how much money do you have to spend and i will plan a build or new gpu and psu list for you

A GTX 950 or 960 would give you a great gaming boots . Swapping out the processor for an 860K will help too depending on your budget .

The 860K might need a BIOS update , and definitely check the boards cpu compatibility list before buying
