Upgrade maybe
I was wordering if my computer needs some upgrade.
What specially do you recommend me to upgrade? GPU ?(if yes to which one?)
Nice build man! I have 2 suggestions that aren't necessarily needed, but they would give you a leg-up in some games that are resource heavy:

1) Upgrade out of the AMD series. You're using an nVidia card which would work better with an Intel CPU. I'd suggest the i5 4670k which worked flawlessly with my 760 when I had one.

2) I'd also bump up your RAM. Granted you do have 16GB, it's only 680Mhz.

These are optional upgrades, it's your choice .

680MHz is low ? I really dont know about that , first time for me , naaah my CPU is good but im carrying about my GPU.

Its not that low, but it could be upgraded. Your GPU is great, I've had the same one before and it treated me more than fair.

Your cpu seems decent, if you have a good cooler you can get those to around 5.0 ghz , get an ssd (Samsung evo are really good price per dollar) and gpu wise, go for a r9 390, they are amazing gpu's!

Don't even think about unloading that dogshit in here. Radeon's products are cheap and last 1/100th as long as nVidia and Intel products do. You can call me an nVidia / Intel fanboy, but the facts don't lie. NVidia GPU's have less power consumption, produce less heat and are much more reliable. It's like suggesting someone a Pentium processor to go with their GTX980, it just doesn't work.

intels processers are far superior duh, but amd gpus are pretty amazing. Benchmarks don't lie , I mean NVidia will maybe last longer, but who wants to keep a gpu for 5+ years?

You're right, benchmarks don't lie. So let's take a look at these benchmarks:
Lower is better:


Higher is better:


Do you recognize a pattern? All of the nVidia cards scored much better than their similar competitor at AMD. Thank you for proving my point for me.

That's old as fuck, doesn't even have the 300 series, and as you see the 280x beats all its nvidia counter parts

Just please stop...
I think you only need a better video card.

What card would you recommend for me ? GTX 980 or maybe another one?

This guy is pretty biased, AMD is better in some ways, NVidia is better in others, pure performance AMD normally wins, depends on the cards, depends on the resolution, depends on a lot of things. What's your budget?

Amd has screen tearing effects when put to high productivity, you can see a lot of videos on that in youtube, presuming that I was an AMD fanboy I would not recommend their newest products...

GTX 980 is one of the best cards on the market. IMHO I can give you the 2 under which I'm doubting

There are a lot of answers but none of them asking, for what are you willing to upgrade? Gaming? Which game?

For me, I just use forums and digg Youtube and Google, that system is pretty nice but for professional gamers that system is probably under their requirements.

Just saying
