The specs for my current pc are:
CPU -AMD FX-8320
Vishera 32nm Technology
RAM - 8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 802MHz (11-11-11-28)
Motherboard - ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. M5A97 LE R2.0 (Socket 942)
Graphics - 4096MB ATI AMD Radeon R9 200 Series (MSI) (Radeon R9 290)
Storage - 1863GB Seagate ST2000DM001-1ER164 (SATA)
I'ts obviously a few years old now and im thinking its time for a change. But i dont know a lot about computers. Ideally i would like to upgrade over time because i dont have enough to splurge on an entirely new build. I know this might be difficult however because i would have to upgarde CPU, motherboard and to DDR4 RAM all at once? is that even correct i dont know?
However i also dont understand what to look for with new parts. With regards to CPU, if i have the 8320 which is an 8 core at 3.6 Mhz, but is from 2011, how is a 4 core intel 7700k that runs at 4.2 better? The same goes for GPU's i have 4VRam with a 2012 card, so if i was to get a new card, does it need more VRAM or would 4 from a newer card be suffice?
Sorry for being such an idiot when it comes to computers, but i just need help from someone who's willing to teach me. I cant promise that i'll be the best learned but i'll try my hardest.
Thanks,
