(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I purchased a computer off of a neighbor for $420 and I don't know much about computers, but I think I did good. It plays Advance Warfare, Battlefield and other games on max settings. Let me know if there are any parts I should upgrade.

On the upgrade list is the PSU first, follow up with the GPU another ram stick.
Depends on the case and Mobo but the Mobo could be good.

Not a bad system tbh don't get the logic behind the CPU guessing that means the Mobo is good.

Not bad....not bad at all.
If you were to upgrade anything, I would upgrade the PSU.
Then if you had any extra money, I would upgrade the GPU. (not necessary - for now)

buy a reliable 600w PSU + gtx 970 and you golden for the next 2-5 years lol

Did you just get the parts or the case? btw check if your ram is installed properly to run at dual channel

Also you should check in the BIOS if the profile is set to XMP so that its running at 1600mhz (guessing it is 1600mhz lol) and not 1333mhz


It was only the tower, but the case is really old so I purchased You must login or register to view this content. which just came in the mail today and I also purchased You must login or register to view this content.

Oh yeah that would be completely fine.
I'm running a better build than this on a 750 watt bronze certified nonmodular PSU.. that would be more than plenty for your build.
Really, the one you have right now is O.K. but you can never have enough power.
