Hello everyone,
I bought my current PC a few years ago for school and playing a few not intensive games like Terraria and Civilizations 5. However my gaming needs have changed and I'm thinking of upgrading my PC.
I have a motherboard with an FM2+ socket, the AMD A4-5300 CPU with integrated graphics, 8gb of ram and a 500W power supply. 8gb's of ram is enough for me however I want to upgrade my CPU and maybe buy a GPU.
I was thinking of buying the 7870K as I saw a great deal on it the other day(€100,- instead of €150,-). Will this alone be enough to run games like Fallout 4 or GTA 5 on 1080p with a decent framerate? And if not, is this chip a good enough processor if I buy a separate graphics card? And what graphics card should I buy? Is a GTX 970 overkill?
I also got an offer from a friend who is willing to buy my computer for €200,-. Would it maybe be a better idea to sell my PC and build a new one all together?
Thanks in advance,
