Mobo supports another CPUs You must login or register to view this content.
I would upgrade that along with the GPU/RAM/HDD.

Mainly RAM/HDD and CPU being the biggest problem with GPU next.

From that pricing £308 so possible to do everything Smile

NEED TO CHECK THAT RAM SUPPORT FOR THE MOBO

Can’t trickshot me!
What goal(s) are you trying to achieve? If you want better gaming performance, I would take a look at upgrading the GPU. I can see you do not have a SSD. You should think about getting one and reinstalling your OS onto it. SSDs will make your PC quicker and feel much snappier.

Overall, I would just suggest saving up for a new PC. If you are going to put more money into your PC, put it into something that can be transferred to a new PC. You could upgrade to a FX-6300/8320, other members would probably suggest this, but AM3+ is a dead socket, so I personally would try to avoid this upgrade. I would never recommend investing money into a dead socket with no upgrade potential.

You'd probably just be better off saving your money and eventually just build a new PC later. What you have is fine for the most part. But if you feel you need something better just save.

buy an i7 4790K and the msi z97-g45 gaming motherboard. Convert now so you can continue on with intel in the future. You should have enough
