What should I change PC or GPU ?

gamersab · Apr 16, 2016

Hi there,

I need to ask that what should I do ? I've limited amount of money so I can upgrade only one thing CPU or GPU.

Right now my PC specs are,
HP Compaq dc5850
AMD Phenom x3 Tri-Core processor
4GB of RAM
GT610 GPU.

I'm confused that what should I do ? Should I upgrade my PC to i5 or should I get a new graphics card like GTX 750TI.

to upgrade to i5 would be more than just the cpu

and not likely to be in budget

Cost wise, going to an i5 is going to be quite a bit more. i5 costs more than the 750 ti, and you will also need to buy a new motherboard that would support an i5 right?

It would help to know your budget. ETA: And also the make and model of your power supply unit.

I'm talking about i5 2400, the whole CPU would cost me around 160$ and the GPU would cost me 160$ too.
I'm confused between changing my CPU or upgrading GPU.
All responses are much appreciated.

If your budget ceiling doesn't permit a total overhaul, the rule of thumb are; upgrade to a better GPU.

If your motherboard and psu can support the gtx 750 ti do it.

gamersab · Apr 17, 2016

Yes obviously it does my PSU is 300watts and that's enough for gtx750ti, 750ti is power efficient.
So I should go for a GPU ? But will new GPU bottleneck with my current processor ?
