I am looking for some help on whether i should just upgrade my current build or build a new one. I've been using this build with slightly outdated parts for about 5 years now and would like some help.
This is my current build:
CPU:AMD FX 4130 Quad-Core Processor
PSU: Corsair CX430
Graphics card: AMD Radeon HD 7700 Series
Motherboard: ASUS M5A78L-M LX PLUS AM3+ AMD 760G + SB710 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
Hard Drive: 1TB Seagate Barracuda
RAM: Not 100% sure but I think it is Corsair Vengeance DDR4 2x4GB RAM
This is what I would like help with:
Approximate Purchase Date: Not urgent but looking at options.
Budget Range: $500-1000 after rebates.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Surfing the internet, Streaming, Watching movies.
Are you buying a monitor: Most likely.
Parts to Upgrade: Either a full rebuild or possibly looking at bridging two graphics cards together, higher watt psu, cpu cooler, ssd.
Do you need to buy OS: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg.ca, tigerdirect.ca, Canadacomputers.com.
Location: Smithville, Ontario, Canada
Parts Preferences: Wouldn't mind staying away from some AMD products as I have had problems with them in the past.
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
Your Monitor Resolution: Current resolution is 1360x768 but would like my new resolution to be somewhere around 1920x1080. Also looking at the possibility of dual monitors.
Additional Comments: Quiet PC would be preferred, needs to be able to at least run some newer games on mid to high graphics and run smooth. I can reuse the case and hard drive I have right now.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: I'm upgrading because I feel as if I can't run some games as smooth anymore. This build has gone through a lot in the last 5 years and wouldn't mind something a little newer.
I'm not sure if I missed anything but I appreciate the help.
