Lazy Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 So Im planning to upgrade my cpu and gpu, but I only have limited budget so I cant upgrade both at the same time. Budget: $200 current cpu: i3-4170 @ 3.7Ghz current gpu: Palit GT 730 Which should I upgrade first? and any suggestion to what should I upgrade to?

eXfro Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Well I dont know much about specific brands or models but I would say if you upgrade your gpu first make sure it runs on what you have now obviously and also wont end up being on the lower end of what would be possible once you upgrade the cpu. So basiclly I would upgrade cpu first I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryze Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 What is your current build and will your old MOBO support the new CPU? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slav Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I would say wait and get a job so you can just upgrade your whole pc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxHound Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 yea it wont do you much good if you dont upgrade the whole thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SherlockPwnz Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 you can get a GTX 960 that will run decent with the cpu you currently have. that will elevate you to the next level as far as what games you can play. you can get some used in good condition for under 200. But most definitely when you get a job save up for a new computer system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrawBerry Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 My mobo only support LGA 1150, So i need 4th gen if im upgrading cpu upgrade your gpu to a 1050ti or 1060 3gb cpu can't handle anything better than that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kv526 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 hunt ebay for used processors. you can get good deals on used processors. look for good reputation, pictures of the product, and detailed description. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
