Hello from Poland /g/
My old pc that I got as payment for making bathroom is getting old, new games are not as fast anymore.
I haven't kept up with technology so I have no clue where to look and what is good.
I want to know if I can still upgrade it or if it is a loss now and need to start from scratch.
I'm a modest man and don't need much. Can i do with just GPU?
CPU: Q6600 G0
Cooler: Artic 7 Pro
MOBO: MSI P7N SLI PLATINUM
MEM: 2x2gb ddr3 1066
GPU: Zotac 9600GT
PSU: Cooler Master Real Power M520
HDD: Seagate 1GB
Case: Antec 900
Mouse & screen & keyboard are all good.
Get a new GPU.
The Q6600 is old but not as completely outdated as the GPU.
Also get an SSD.
consider a new GPU and a new SSD to be both required here.
As for which new GPU, doesn't really matter. Set a budget and just get the best you can in that price
>>55389463
No. Put the ssd budget into cpu and gpu.
Upgrade to an i3 6100 and rx480, or better yet, buy a workstation with an i5 2500 and slap in an ssd and gpu.
Honestly just this >>55389463
You will notice that installing an SSD and moving your OS and files onto it will make the computer 5x faster in general. Your mechanical hard drive is really slow. SSD prices are coming down and here in the UK you can get a 500GB SSD for about £120.
Also what the guy didn't say is RAM. 4GB is kind of on the low side nowadays. Still maybe ok for games but you will notice stuttering and lag on full settings. Consider getting 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 RAM
If you're updating your CPU/GPU you may need to find a compatible new motherboard as well
>>55389479
A GPU and SSD allows the possibility of a real platform upgrade instead of a half-assed one like you're suggesting.
>>55389506
I forgot to mention I have SSD, 120GB from OCZ.
>>55389463
How much would be good GPU to play modern games with decent FPS?
Would I need to upgrade to new motherboard, or can I make do with ram and GPU?
>>55389463
>>55389479
>>55389506
>>55389435
If you just want to game, don't fall for the SSD meme OP. Will only make boot and loading times faster, will make literally no difference when you're actually playing. Put the money into getting a better GPU instead.
>>55389537
He would more from a better cpu and gpu than he would from an ssd.
Ssd budget could be the difference between an i3 and an i5, or an rx480 and gtx1070.
An i3 6100 shits all over a Q6600

here this is all the shit you would need to make you computer faster
>>55389566
>cheap motherboard
>reference rx480
Anon, I have bad news for you...
>>55389506
>>55389435
MSI P7N SLI PLATINUM doesn't support DDR3 and buy DDR2 now is more difficult than ten years before
My opinion: ssd + low level GPU like 750Ti
>>55389588
>Repeating memes that you don't even understand
>>>/v/ fuck off and dont come back
>all these people recommending ssd for in game performance upgrade
What the fuck is wrong with you?
>>55389435
Upgrade to an x5450 and get a cheap nvidia gpu.

750Ti + ssd for general performance
>>55389694
>recommending the 750ti in 2016
wew lad fuck off
Get a 750Ti with that Kentsfield and you'll be fine, I've got an HD7750 overclocked with the same CPU and it games pretty good.
>>55389566
/thread
>>55389694
It's 2016 you fucking idiot
The 750Ti is two fucking generations behind and it was a mid range 'not very good' card at the time anyway
>>55389712
We recommend the 750ti because putting high end new hardware in with a 9yo chip is retarded.
>>55389435
just wait on a non reference RX 480
after looking at everything...you should put in the max ram of 8G you only have 4 that would help pc run a little faster...also look at getting the gtx960 strix yea its a little out dated right now but there isnt a game I cant play with little to no lag and you psu should run it just fine...but up the ram and gpu and you should be fine...GAME ON!!!!
>>55389698
>>55389703
In my country 750Ti can buy for two bags of potatoes
It's don't bad idea if you have a littel money
>>55389712
750Ti is a Maxwell card
>>55389726
he has a garbage cpu so he doesn't need a garbage gpu too
>>55389734
>>55389737
>>55389741
>all these cucks shilling low end nvidia cards
damn can all you fags just fuck off back to /v/
>>55389752
the dude said he was modes and hes coming off a 9600GT, come on, Anon.
>>55389435
you could get 8gbs of ram and wait on a rx 470 4gb, its supposed to prob be around as powerful as a r9 380x but it will be like 150$, also don't listen to all the retards recommending outdated shit like the 960 or 750ti
>>55389767
>modes
modest*
>>55389767
the rx 470 4gb is going to be the same price or a little more expensive for a massive boost over the performance of a 750 ti, just face it the 750 ti was barely good when it came out and now it is just useless
>>55389435
>>55389544
jak tam polski friend
get mroe ram, get used/cheap last gen gpu
will be fine
good luck
>>55389794
going to be honest getting 8gb is a good idea but don't go for last gen, the RX 470 4gb would be the best possible thing to get.
>>55389435
get 8 gb ddr3 now and wait for the amd rx 470 when it comes out
>>55389825
>>55389814
>>55389769
Settled then he should get 8gb now and wait for when the RX 470 comes out later this month
Thank u for all the suggestions.
I'm now thinking of upgrading motherboard as well because DDR2 is very hard to find cheap.
With that would come new CPU and all.
>>55389694
Looks good.
>>55389855
the 750ti is trash don't bother with that wait for the rx 470 and get 8gb of ddr3 now
>>55389855
Look on ebay, you can find ddr 2 very cheap there, get 8gb of ddr2 and wait for the RX470 later this month.
>>55389906
RX470 that's a lot for Q6600
>>55389938
yea the point is if zen isn't shit he can also upgrade to that later this year as well and he will have a computer that can handle anything at 1080p 60fps
>>55389435
The Q6600 is still good enough thb.
8GB of ram is kind of a nessessity nowadays, and i reccommend looking up a GTX 750 ti(or a 760) and an SSD.
You can definately survive like 1-2 years. until newer gen hardware comes out.
No point in blowing money right now.
>>55389435
Antec 900. Kill yourself.
>>55389435
That's a pretty good deal for making bathroom
I have to pay a girl $3000 to make bathroom on glass table
>>55389549
>implying faster load time isn't the sole reason for many people buying an ssd in the first place
Nignog do you even fucking /v/?
>>55389982
stop recomending the 750 ti, its shit
9600gt? may I know what resolution your display is? for 1080p r7 370/gt950 enough for your pc
>>55390039
>falling for the consumerism this fucking bad
Fuck off retard, OP here doesnt seem like a hardcore gamer so i reccommended what would be a good choice for him. Besides i did mention 760 which is a pretty fuckin solid card.
>>55390062
>kepler
gimped shit its even more worthless than the 750ti
>>55390080
>HURR DURR STOP RECCOMMENDING OP STUFF I DONT LIKE BECAUSE MY FRIEND HERE TOLD ME ITS SHIT
solid performer nontheless, i was reccommending him a max 200$ upgrade on his system which WILL last him a few more years.
>>55389588
>cheap motherboard
No problem with that if it ticks all the right features/standards boxes. There's literally no need to go all out on a motherboard for most people.
>>55390104
8gb of ddr 2 and a RX 470 is less than $200 so fuck off
>>55390180
is RX 470 out right now?
>>55390255
no but it will be out within the month along with the rx 460
>>55390262
AMD promised 199$ all i see is up to 350$ RX480 cards. Soo..... i fail to see how your precious RX 470 is gonna be included in a 200$ upgrade WITH an ssd and ram.
>>55390299
stop lying you nvidiot cuck
Is no one going to suggest the x5450?
Jesus Christ /g/ has fallen...
>>55390340
>in murica
OP is Polish
That means Europoor territory.
The cheapest RX 480 is 289€
while you can actually get a GTX 750 ti for less than 80€ here.
>>55390390
OP already has a Q6600 wich is as solid as that xeon.
>>55390411
leave the EU then you dumb cuck
>>55390498
He probably doesnt want to pay 10k burgerbucks for ambulance ride fatso.
>>55390498
I bet OP is willing to...
Also Polish here. For reference I bought t420 with 120 GB SSD for 1,4K PLN that quals to about 420 USD. Fuck EU
>>55390540
>being pro eu
Im i surprised that the pro EU cuck here is also shilling for nvidia, once again i proved that nvidia users are cucks
>>55390411
Fuck off, that xeon is much better. Multithreads as well as a haswell i3 at stock clocks. It'll be a massive upgrade without needing a new mobo. That'll let him increase his budget for a better gpu.
I wish someone would give me a PC for make bathroom
