Sorry if this is in the wrong section, haven't used this site in years.
I have been trying to decide recently between sticking with AMD and just upgrading to the best I can do with the FX line of CPUs, or switching to Intel(which I assume would pretty much mean building a new PC).
My current specs are:
CPU: AMD FX-4130
GPU: NVIDIA GTX 750
RAM: 8gb of whatever came with the PC
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3
Other things: 1TB HDD, and whatever liquid cooler and PSU the computer came with
I am assuming my budget would be between $600 and $1,000(preferably cheaper, I'm a full time college student, currently lacking a job). I use my PC mostly for gaming, watching YouTube, and some light music production(I say light because I currently use the school's computers more). I tend to mostly play older games like SWTOR, but have been slowly becoming interested in games like Playerunkown's Battlegrounds, and BDO.
Any suggestions? I was leaning more toward upgrading to an AMD FX-8350, and then just building a better gaming PC in the distant future if I was still interested in the more demanding games, but not sure.
I currently regret listening to a random guy on Steam and going with AMD :/
