Hello everyone I wanted to upgrade my PC as It's been 4 years since I built it and I feel like it doesn't quite preform too well when streaming games. My budget is up to £600 total but if needed I could extend it a little bit. I want to mainly focus on CPU, GPU and probably Motherboard upgrades unless my ones are fine, up to your judgement.
My current set up:
CPU: Intel Core i5 4690K Processor (3.5 GHz, 6 MB Cache, LGA1150 Socket) https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00KPRWB9G/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1
GPU: Asus AMD Radeon R9 280 DirectCU II Top Graphics Card (3GB, GDDR5, PCI Express 3.0)
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00J3K9Y6E/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Motherboard: MSI Z97 Gaming 3 Intel LGA1150 Z97 ATX Motherboard (4x DDR3, 6x USB3.0, 6x USB2.0, GBE, LAN, HDMI, DVI, DP, VGA)
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00K8KJ6Y8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
RAM (I've got 16gb of this): Ballistix Sport XT 4GB Single DDR3 1600 MT/s (PC3-12800) UDIMM 240-Pin Memory - BLS4G3D169DS3CEU
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00CWR3HVS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Storage: Seagate ST1000DM003 3.5 inch 1TB Barracuda Hard Drive
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B006GAK6EI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Power supply: Cooler Master G550M PSU 'Semi-Modular, 80 Plus Bronze, 550W' RS550-AMAAB1-UK
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00FNCNWHI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Case: Zalman Z9 Plus Midi Tower Computer Case - Black
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004FPQL0E/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s03?ie=UTF8&psc=1
As you can see I spent around £600 and it has lasted me for about 4 years, it's still rocking and manages most games at ultra settings.
I would like something that will last a while but not be too crazy expensive. As stated above I can extend my budget to probably £800 in total but only if absolutely necessary.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thank you very much,
Patol
