Hello everyone.
I've been planning on updating some of the components on my gaming rig.
This is my current setup:
CPU - AMD - FX-6300
CPU Cooler - Cooler Master - Hyper 212 EVO
Motherboard - Asus - M5A78L-M PLUS/USB3 Micro ATX AM3+
Memory - Kingston - 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1333
Storage - Crucial - MX300 275GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Storage - Toshiba - 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card - PowerColor - Radeon R9 380 4GB PCS+
Power Supply - Cooler Master B600 v2
Case - NZXT - S340 Elite
Operating System - Microsoft - Windows 10 Home OEM 64-bit
Monitor - Samsung - S22D300NY 21.5" 1920x1080 60Hz Monitor
These are the components i was planning to buy now:
-CPU: i5 8600k
-MBO: Z370 Aorus Ultra Gaming (could use some advice on this one, is it a good pick or not...?)
-RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB 3000Mhz
What kind of performance can i expect from this cpu/gpu combo?
Am i going to have a lot of bottleneck issues because of my old graphics card? I'm also planning on buying a new one, but i'm hoping prices will drop a bit in the next few months.
Do i also need to upgrade my PSU?
Thanks guys.
