PoorStar_Nutbag Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 (edited) AMD 8350 CPU, GTX 970 4gb, 120gb SSD. if you dont want to get a new motherboard. If you do i would buy an I5, GTX 970 4gb, 120gb SSD and a intel chipset motherboard. This is mostly an opinion but Intel>AMD. First upgrade will set you back around 450-500$ Second will be closer to 600$ IF you want to spend less let me know Edited May 13, 2015 by PooStar_Nutbag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
