What should I upgrade my motherboard and CPU to?

rafanoname · Jun 6, 2016

I would like to run games such as overwatch in high settings, but I feel like my CPU is holding my PC back. Do you guys have any reccomendations on what to upgrade my mother board and CPU to? My current mother board is a MS-7641. And my CPU is a AMD FX(tm)-4130 Quad-Core Processor. Here is my current GPU as well: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti. Thank you!

Intel i5 processor and motherboard (the board depends on the processor)

According to one review for the overwatch, the gtx750ti is holding the game back. Usually 40 fps is playable. http://www.techspot.com/review/1180-overwatch-benchmarks/ Depends on what budget you have, what monitor you had. But you can just buy the i5 like Zerk2012 said, and other powerful GPU, then you can play most games in high settings. But also make sure you have the good PSU for the new GPU too. Sometime someone will forget check the PSU to see it can power up the new GPU or not.

I think GPU is holding you back, in most cases gaming scales much higher with GPU changes.
Get these new Polaris cards that AMD is releasing later this month..

You think your CPU is holding your PC back. It appears your CPU is not supported by your motherboard. Your CPU has 125 watt TDP (Thermal Design Power). Your motherboard doesn't support CPUs with TDP over 95 watts.

I suggest using your present CPU. For Memory 1866MHz 2 x 4GB.
