Been running my pc for 3 years now so yeah haha.
Want to spent around 1000 euro on it.
Right now I am running a gtx 960 4gb, i5 4460, 8gb ram.
I could re-use my motherboard and ram and all the other stuff and only upgrade the processor and graphicscard.
The storage is also still fine, maybe upgrading it to a 500 gb SSD or something along those lines.
If anyone got some suggestions on what to do, build a new rig or just use some parts of this one. Just let me know
When I am re-using parts I am not thinking to spend 1000, just 600 or so.
Greetings,
Ruub
If you're using a HDD as opposed to SSD currently, I recommend picking that up first and seeing if the performance improvement is sufficient enough to hold off a while on a full upgrade (and save a little extra cash for it in the meantime).
Typically I do incremental upgrades (e.g. adding RAM, drives, PCI cards, etc.) until it comes time to upgrade the CPU at which point I do a full upgrade and replace the motherboard, PSU, RAM, CPU, etc... sometimes I'll swap the video card over depending on how old it is.
