Hello,
I built a PC for the first time last summer. I was on a $500-$700 budget, and i'm thinking that I should start to save up money to upgrade it. Here are my specs:
CPU: AMD FX-6300
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1050Ti
Motherboard: Asus M5A78L-M Plus
HDD #1: Hitachi 1000 GB HDD 7200 RPM (from old PC)
HDD #2: Hitachi 500 GB HDD 5400 RPM (also from old PC)
RAM: 16 GB (2 x 8) PNY DDR3-1600
CPU Cooler: Deepcool GAMMAXX GT
PSU: Thermaltake SMART 700w 80+
Case: Apevia X-QTIS-BK
Monitor: ViewSonic (can't remember the model) 1080p 60Hz (i think)
I felt I should mention that I do not want to invest in case fans, because all of the fan spots in my case are already taken up by fans, lol.
I was thinking that maybe I should max out my mobo before upgrading to a newer platform. I can already run most games at 1080p Ultra/High at 35-60 FPS. I was also thinking of a monitor and gpu upgrade everntually? Also I think I should probably replace my 500 GB HDD with a 500 GB SSD because it is really slow and it is starting to fail. Let me know what you think is best to upgrade!
Thanks!
