well, its definitely an aging CPU (2500K is from 2011, so nearly 7 years old), the R9 200 series is 3-4 years old. Its probly worth upgrading to a newer CPU and GPU

so along those lines any thoughts on bang for the buck or as I look at processors would it just be worth starting over. I could save my drives and go from there ? By bang for the buck I mean when does $$$ in upgrades surpass a new built system ?

what is your budget?

what is your budget?

I have around $5-600 I would like to be in there

 

[johnny9lives]

If I would to upgrade I was thinking 5-600 but if I were to build all new about twice that....
