Hi, I need suggestion to upgrade my pc, currently using

Intel i3-2100
Gigabyte H67MA-USB3 B3
Asus r7 260x
Cooler Master Elite 550 ver 2
4gb ram ddr3
maxtor 160gb HDD
WD 1tb HDD
WD 2tb HDD

I am planning to upgrade the processor, motherboard and ram. But I am not sure how, for processor, currently considering amd fx 6350, A10 7850, i3 6100 or 15 6500. I dont have much requirement in gaming, as most of the time i enjoy RPG games, which doesn't requires high end graphic, but i do like smooth experience, my HDD takes 3 seconds to load every once in a while when i click in again, which I am not sure what the problems is.

So, every sifu please give me opinion on the upgrade of processor and motherboard, thank you

New Skylake CPU and mobo are recommended to run DDR4 RAM which means you gonna need to change RAM too if you were to choose Skylake platform which is a better choice than the aged AMD platform for now.

What's your budget?

yes, I m planning to change CPU, mobo, ram and also the casing. My budget is around rm 1200 - 1500 for those 3 and a cooler master k282 casing, so i need a mobo that supports 2 usb 3 at front and total of 6 usb at back

I am not particularly tight on budget, so I might raise my budget if its worth the price and i might add a SSD

Thank you

Hello fellow sifus, I am planning to upgrade motherboard along with intel core i3 6100, planning to choose either Gigabyte GA-B150M-HD3 or Asrock B150M-HDV,

basic requirement is 2 front usb 3.0 at front and 6 x sata 3 connectors. So, which one is better? or is there any other suggestion? budget is below RM 350

Both of them come with 2 RAM slots only, go for MSI B150M Pro-DH instead.

I am planning to use Kingston HyperX Fury DDR4 8gb ram and yesterday bought a Sandisk Ultra II 240gb SSD.

MSI seems decent, but the gigabyte comes with M.2

is there any difference with or without M.2 while using SSD?

Thank you
