Arilaw Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 There isn't really anything worth upgrading on that system. The money would be better spent on a rebuild with a new CPU, motherboard, RAM and video card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaniWes Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I'd say that currently your CPU is a bottleneck, although everything you posted needs upgrading to have a nice and smooth performance. Since I'm not a huge fan of ATI/AMD I'd suggest upgrading to the following, I picked items that aren't focused on hardcore performance, but a trade-off between price, performance and durability. i5 2300 CPU, it should cost no more than €160. MSI P67A-C43 (B3) mainboard, you'll need a new one to house your CPU, should cost no more than €100. Nvidia GeForce GTX470, 480 or 560, depending on how much you're willing to spend, the 570 and 580 might be too expensive for you. As for RAM go for 2 sticks of: 4 GB DDR3-1600, so a total of 8GB, should cost no more than €40 Also see the websites below for benchmarking: http://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
