Ditt44 :
I agree with the other guys. What are all your components, what can you move forward to a new build... PSU? GPU? Cooler? Case? Interested in Intel or AMD? etc.
I have a 6350 and I would never upgrade that to an 8xxx anything. Can you OC your 6300 at all? For $500 you can get a nice new build but that is wholly dependent on how many new components you need to buy. Mobo, CPU and RAM at a minimum.
Well here's my specs right now:
CPU: FX-6300 (Using cooler that came with the CPU)
Mobo: MSI 970A SLI Krait Edition
RAM: PNY DDR3 1x8GB (forgot the mhz but I think it was 1600)
GPU: Palit 750 Ti StormX OC
Storage: PNY 120GB SSD
PSU: EVGA 600B
Case: Phanteks P400 (Grey)
As for AMD or Intel, while I really would like to get some Ryzen action, I don't think my budget would be sufficient due to the price points of Ryzen chips and chipsets on the market right now. I'd like to make video production every now and then. As for gaming, I mainly play League of Legends and want to try other E-Sports titles such as CSGO and Overwatch.
