hi everyone,

i own a desktop running Windows 10 on AMD APU A8-5600k (+ AMD Radeon HD 7560D) and 4GB ram.

i do a lot of design graphics (logo, layout) and video editing on premiere pro cc.

i know my computer performance is kind of insufficient but i manage to make it works.

i really want to make an upgrade but i have very little budget of $200.
what should i buy?

  • bigger ram? (8 gigs?)
    or graphic card (gtx 650?)
    or even a new screen?
    (i really wanted to run this system on a dual screen as it will improve my workflow significantly. i have an existing generic 17" 1440x900 lcd screen, should i add a new screen, i think it will be a 21.5" 1080p. but, is my APU graphic card able to do 3360x1080 in 2 screen?)
really need help from you guys, thank you!
 
Solution
I would get more RAM and a new monitor, and OC the GPU and CPU a bit to get more performance.

a Monitor like that is only 100-120, and 8 gigs of RAM is only 40 dollars.
