Saving up money to upgrade my PC

Specs so far: Processor: AMD FX(tm)-6100 Six-Core Processor RAM: 10.0 GB (9.78 GB usable) System Memory: 10 GB DDR3 (Is this the same as RAM?) Radeon HD 7450 graphics card with 1GB DDR3 dedicated memory 1.5 Terabyte hard drive System Type: 64-bit Operating System That's what I've got. I want to upgrade to on par with current gens. My question(s) for you guys is this: What do you think of the current build? What needs to be upgraded to run next gen games? How much will that cost? Sorry if this is pretty basic but I'm not that great with PCs and if upgrading is cheaper than actually buying a new console then that's what I'm doing.

  • GPU needs a major upgrade and possibly your PSU

  • I'm more of an intel person myself. The 6-8 core stuff AMD has basically becomes useless for gaming unless you plan to do rendering and stuff in programs like maya and after effects. Most games only use 4 cores. Intel costs more but is much better for overall output and performance. But since you are going the AMD + ATI graphics card route it should be fine.

    • Bump because I'd like more opinions.

        Ram and Memory are the same thing and that doesn't need to be upgraded. 10GB is more than enough. The HDD is also totally fine The CPU isn't bad, but if you want to prepare a bit for later, I'd get the [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113284]FX Vishera 8350[/url]. Really, the only thing you need to upgrade is the Graphics Card. Once you've got a new one installed, you'll be prepared to play most modern games. I'm not sure what you're budget is, so I'll give you a few options. [quote][url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121802]r9 270x[/url] [$210] Will play most modern games on decent settings, but there's not a lot of future-proofing here. The [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130967]GTX 660[/url] is another good choice in this price range. [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130944]GTX 760[/url] [$320] Will play pretty much anything you want + some future-proofing. [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130948]GTX 770 4GB[/url] [$420] This will keep you prepared for quite some time. Fantastic card. The [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121803]R9 280x[/url] is also a great card.[/quote] It would be helpful if you posted the wattage of your Power Supply. It's probably fine, but I'd like to make sure it's good enough to support the $300 and $400 range GPUs. The easiest way to find it is by opening your PC and looking for the sticker on the PSU.

      • PSU would be nice to know. GPU needs upgrade. CPU could be upgraded to the eight core amd one that is popular right now( cant remember what it was called.) Ram is okay although The 10gb is weird.. I'm on my phone right now so I can't give a lot of advice/build items.

        • [quote]System Memory: 10 GB DDR3 (Is this the same as RAM?)[/quote] It's the same as your ram. I'd advise using Part Picker to find a good graphics card, you can re-create your build on the site so you can make sure it will all be compatible.
