i would just build a whole new computer but i don't have $1200 to build the one i want and i won't have $1200 to spend on a pc for a couple of years or longer, so im thinking of just spending around $500 to upgrade the cpu,gpu and psu
i wanna get a R9 390, a 650w power supply and a i5 2500k or i5 3570k
so one thing i was wondering about is if the R9 390 would run fine with my i3 3220? just until i get a i5 2500k or i5 3570k
and im probably not gonna try overclocking anything so is it even worth getting the k?
heres how it would be with the new parts
