Hello, I build a PC last year and I want to start upgrading so I get a bit more performance, not that I complain, just I think some things can be improved.
My current build is:
CPU: Intel Core i5-7400
MoBo: Gigabyte GA-B250M-D3H
RAM: 2x Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR4 2400MHz
GPU: Asus Strix RX480 8GB OC
SSD: Kingston V300 120GB
HDD: WD Scorpio Black 750GB
PSU: Seasonic G 550W Gold
I use it daily for web browsing, productivity, etc. but also for gaming (1080p) and Lightroom/Photoshop.
Games I tend to play: Doom, Crysis (all 3), F1 2016, Far Cry Primal, Shadow of Mordor, SCII.
I was thinking of replacing my current SSD for one in the 240/250GB range and adding a second one with 500GB capacity for games and leave the WD Scorpio for files.
Also, changing my MoBo for an H270 or Z270 maybe? But then I realize that going Z270 so I can change CPU for a K later will be almost the same as going Z370 with an 8th gen proc (or X370 with Ryzen 5-1600 or 7-1700). so I don't think investing in the MoBo is a good idea, maybe replacing the whole CPU/MoBo worths.
Regarding GPU, this one gives a decent gaming (at least for now) 60+FPS in games with High/Ultra settings in 1080p, not planning upgrading to 1440p or beyond for now.
What do you think? Do you agree with my upgrades? What would you change first and why?
