What should i upgrade ?

[petrik2008]

Hi guys.
My build: cpu : i3-3220 3.3ghz 2core
gpu : gtx 750 2gb oc MSI
ram : 12GB 1600mhz
storage : 2x1tb (1SSHD, 1HDD)
MB : IDK
psu : 200W (I´ll buy better)


So what do you think guys. What should i upgrade? I want this pc for gaming (cs:go, GTA 5, LOL, some new games like NFS), SolidWorks(just for school) and maybe streaming. My budget is around 300 dollars.

If I were you my priorities would be:
1. CPU
2. PSU
3. GPU
As I saw, your CPU has an FCLGA1155 slot, if I'm not mistaken.
The https://www.amazon.com/Intel-i5-3570-.../dp/B0083U94D8 would be great.
The price of used ones start at 144$, 4cores @ 3.4 GHz.

Agree with Dongonata, I would upgrade cpu first

What you could also do is upgrade to this:
(These are the cheapest prices in Netherlands, calculated in Euros!)
Cooler Master GM G750M -- 750W (80 Plus Bronze), semi-modular PSU
Price: 76.95 euros

Biostar TA970 -- Socket AM3+ and AMD 970 chipset MoBo
Price: 68.47 euros

AMD FX FX-8320 Black Edition -- 8 Core AMD AM3+ processor @ 3.5GHz
Price: 143.95
Total price: 289.37
The only extra component that uses a big amount of power is the CPU which uses 125 Watt.
This means you could have a PSU of 500 Watt and most likely wont change anything. This could lower the price by 10 - 20 euros.


Edit: All these prices are for unused components, so buying used would also decrease the price.

But i dont think i will need 750W PSU I think 500W will be good enough. What do you think ?

should work the more money you spend the better obviously though

1. CPU, definitely that first
2. PSU, youre not gonna get far with 200w
3. GPU, If you want more frames and to run with more pixels

Just get a i7 3770/k and a new PSU and you will be okay

[petrik2008]

Its old socket so i´ll buy new MB and CPU + PSU

500w PSU for start would be best.

It might be easier to start from scratch, and save up for something entirely new. That's my take on it, anyways. I personally would prefer to have a top notch system even if I have to wait alittle longer, than something that will never truly be up to date.

CPU first
VC second.

[Pimples700]

Upgrade your Cpu first. second get your hot 600w psu and third the gpu

Wait for the 1080/1070 GPU better than a titan x RIP AMD
