Upgrade help

[kiirshio]

Current rig:

i5-760 + MSI p55a-g55
2 x 2GB RAM
Sapphire r9-280 3gb OC
Seasonic 500W
250GB Samsung evo

Just upgraded the GPU and SSD last month. Now, I've having issues w the RAM not being detected and lagging even when playing full screen YouTube videos. So looking to upgrade the rest of my components; namely the mobo+cpu and ram first.

Budget is around $350 to replace mobo, cpu and RAM.

Either wait or spend a bit for 8gb ram. 4gb is low in today standard.

May need to add $30 more for non full rig purchase. Also do consider msi h81m e35 as it has 4x usb3.0 at the rear instead of 2 for asrock.

Already factored in the non full rig cost, no worries.

The board+chip for full rig is $290, whack $30 more cos non full become $320, 4GB ram cheap cheap nia so total $350 can lah

RAM should be ok, usually it is the GPU/CPU/Mobo a bit ma fan.

I buy my DDR4 RAM alone I haggled $20 off the price list some more, so I guess can lah

TS go try ask lor... no harm

As far as my trips go, usually hard disk and RAM they just sell you the price list price if you just ask them for single item.

Don't talk about the IO plates lol.

Even ASUS's Z97-A gives those I/O plate you need to bend and pluck out those metal flaps yourself. Charles cheesepie I tio cut before. Those non-painful kind of cut like you touch the blades if your army knife no feeling but you kena cut kind. Fix the rig half way see got blood then I realized I kena cut

Really need premium boards then give good I/O plates with cushions
