What would you upgrade if you intended on keeping this machine another 2 years, /g/?
I'm thinking making the following changes:
1. Upgrade to a 500GB-1TB SSD with a larger HDD that only stores music/videos
2. Upgrade the CPU fan/other fans and overclock the processor
3. Double the RAM
BTW Speccy doesn't report accurate numbers for temperatures at all.

Update that trash video card.
A real CPU and mobo now.
A real GPU later.
More memory much much later. Wait on SSD's. M.2's are gaining traction and will become much cheaper soon.

>A real CPU and mobo now.
Nah. Got too many other things to pay for that are important.
Funny thing is, this was my secondary computer that had to become my primary because my main one's PSU fucked the entire machine. I usually make mobos/CPUs last 5 years, and I bought this machine in 2013. If I can make it do for 4 years, that will be fine considering its original purpose.
SSDs are already fucking stupid cheap compared to what I paid for that stupid OCZ.

I don't really play that many video games. The ones I do play the CPU and RAM are holding me back far more.
KSP is a fucking CPU hog.

>ask in op about what to get, includes CPU/mobo as one of those things
>mentions later too much of a poor fag to actually upgrade
Christ then get a fucking R9 GPU that you can Xfire with the APU.
8 GB RAM is fine. You only need an SSD for your OS an main non content storing programs.

Why even ask for opinions if you are gonna say, "Nah. I'm a faggot" to everything someone suggests?

>SSD
dank meme
>>51304223
Why the fuck are you even asking if you have an answer for every suggestion
>>51304425
how is that a meme?
>>51304367
i use 7-8gb out of 12 when i play gtav, wow or h1z1. 8gb is pretty low now
>>51304393
I said no to fucking replacing the mobo and the CPU, I didn't say those were options and implied they weren't.
Fagget.
>>51304526
8GB is feeling low. I definitely max it out if I don't bother to close everything when I decide to gay-man.
>>51304739
at least ram is a cheap upgrade, i have tri channel and it was only $40 for 6 more gb
>shitty cpu
>shitty gpu
>wants everyone to validate upgrading ram and hard drives.
Do whatever you want faggot.
>>>51304393 (You)
>I said no to fucking replacing the mobo and the CPU, I didn't say those were options and implied they weren't.
And you also said no to replacing the graphics, faget .
Look, bottom line is you got a shit PC.
>>51304526
>i use 7-8gb out of 12 when i play gtav
I just opened GTAV; It uses 2.1 gigs. I doubt WoW or H1Z1 are nearly as intensive as GTAV.
What the fuck are you even doing?
>>51304223
7980K and 2133MHZ ram get a 380 4GB model
that was even the recommended spec on jay2cent on youtube as well funny enough.
guys,
is there any way I could upgrade my CPU without changing the motherboard? i have about 150$ total for upgrading (poorfag)
>>51308798
Intel Core™ 2 Extreme QX9770
its the highest it goes for your motherboard.
>>51308867
would be great if it fit in my price range

>>51308897
yeah checked it before but cant figure whether its worth it
what do you think about upgrading to Q9550? found it for 70$
>>51304223
Why do you need 16gb of RAM?
>>51304223
Fucking lol @ that cpu temp.
replace that garbage.
>>51308952
>Q9550
sounds good it will play everything at least is minimum spec for the last AAA titles of 2015.
hightest for your buck is what your after but yeah price adds into it.
>>51308995
his themal paste is shot and his fans are not working well enough that would be my guess
>>51308952
It's very good, yes. and overclocks well.
I was thinking the same, but then I noticed very good second hand bundles and bought one.
you can probably get an i5+mb+ram for about $200 or less, with an i3 you can for sure
so it's up to you, but you should check secondhand bundles first.
still, you would have a great nice boost with a q9550
