Hey Tom'sHardware,
I just transferred my old FX-6300 system to an i5-3470 system, and I want to make sure that it is future proof without upgrading to a new processor platform. I plan on upgrading the CPU and the GPU, and maybe throwing in a little more RAM.
Build:
CPU: i5-3470
MB: MSI H77MA-G43
GPU: R9 380 2gb
RAM: 10gb (4gb x2 Crucial 1333mhz / 2gb x1 Muskin Essential 1333mhz)
HDD's: 500gb Seagate / 320gb Western Digital
PSU: EVGA 750w (idk which model, but it's good)
So i plan on putting in an i7-3770, and a r9 290x. Also getting a new kit of 4gb x2 RAM. Also a SSD may be a possibility.
I run the build off of a AOC i2367fh, and an older Viewsonic 4:3 monitor. Mouse and keyboard will do.
I DO NOT want to upgrade to a new platform for as long as possible, please keep that in mind.
Thanks!
