hi all please advice. have an aging pc with below spec

PROC: I3 4150
MOBO:ASUS H81 MK
RAM:KINGSTON 8GB
GC:SAPPHIRE R9 270
PSU: CM 550W

do this rig is a lost cause or can be further upgraded?

usage : mild/not-so-ultra gaming setting.

thanks

This is still a decent rig. Get a GTX 1060 or RX 480 and you're good to go.

lga 1150 is still good get an i5 or i7 and ur pc good already

This is still decent setup. As previous poster said, just upgrade the GPU to GTX1060 or RX480 and it is all good. In addition if you have a bit more budget, it doesn't hurt to upgrade that PSU to a 650w gold PSU since if you want to do full upgrade later u have already a good PSU.

thanks guys for the reply

so its either the GPU or the CPU..

say I have to choose one?which one shall be prioritized?

If your priority is gaming, then GPU first.

Frankly, I would just buy a new PC and use this as a media player center (for TV) and for some light gaming.

if urs is outdated, what about mine with E8400, 4GB Ram and a GTX760.

get a new gpu , and SSD
i also own i5 4th gen, maybe after 'kaby-lake' gen will need upgrade

Same here - the i3 is still a capable CPU.

Though I'll recommend TS to upgrade the CPU at a later time.

Wow. How far did you manage to overclock.

no OC, all at stock speed.

I already upgraded to E5450. Quadcore proc. Paired with SSD. I think can serve me well for the next 2 years IF teh GC or RAM didnt go kaput.

Lol, I too upgrade to x5460. so fra so good from my side. just recently my 4870 died hence i'm waiting for my new GC

compare to yours, mine is dinosaur. core 2 duo, 4gb ram. lol

hye..i think im gonna share my dilemma here lol...

i want to built a new pc coz my current pc is already 6 years old now..
but im also thinking of upgrading my graphic , ssd and psu instead .

but as i mentioned above..my setup is too old..

MOBO - ASUS M4A88T V EVO USB3
PROC - AMD PHENOM II X6 1155T
GRAPHIC - ASUS ENGTX 460
RAM - 4X2GB DDR3
PSU - CM 500
COOLER - COOLER MASTER V8
STILL USING HDD

with this current setup can just upgrade to :
GPU - BUDGET RM 1200 MAX
SSD- RM 350
PSU - RM 300 NEW.USED

Hope u otai2 can help me up with this.thanks

If you are playing on 1080p:

1. GPU - MSI GTX 1060 6GB RM1,300
2. SSD - KINGSTON UV400 240GB for RM334
3. PSU - Can continue to use the CM 500 (no upgrade is necessary)

and sorry for ur info..i only play CSGO and planning to get old need for speed games hahaha..my fren said if i only play csgo..its not neccessary to upgrade my graphic ..he said i need to upgrade my ram to 2 x 4g 2600 mhz ram ..now im using 4 x 2gb 1333mhz ,,my mobo only support 1333mhz ram and 2000mhz OC..is it a good idea to buy 2600 mhz ram for my mobo??

..but deep down i feel like i need to upgrade a new gpu too ..hurmm

I doubt upgrading new RAM will change much.

Further, CSGO isn't that demanding from memory.

Better off spending on GPU. Perhaps GTX1050ti or AMD RX470 should be sufficient.

hurmm ok ..so my mobo and ram(ddr3) can withstand another 5 years of csgo?? if so ,..can plan for 144hz monitor huhuhu

I doubt your motherboard will last another 5 years. Most of my motherboard lasted at most 6-8 years.

I don't think you need 144hz monitor also.

my mobo is already 6 years old this december...damn...u r saying..its in the dying period now?? if i need to change the mobo..its meann i need to change everything..ohhh moneyy moneyyy
