What should i upgrade ah?

[colonelsoh]

Long time no upgrade liao... and lost touch with current market price.

Anyone can advice? My specs --->

I think 2500K + M4GZ still good to keep right?

GPU? -> GTX760 or R9 270X or R9 280X?

Frankly speaking.. i dont game already.. just trying to keep up with the latest mid range system.

since u dun game then i dun see a "need" to upgrade at all...

Dont upgrade now. Not worth it, next gen GPU then upgrade more worth it. Your current setup doing fine.

True but if use till scrap means cant really fetch any good price to it :/ and hafta spend more to upgrade.

Anw, how about GPU? GTX760 = like the good old 6950 hey days?

 

[shadow84]

Sorry, on mobile, cant c it....

If u r going for 760, top up $100 more to get r9 280x. Much more worth it since its comparable to 770.

ahh no worries.. i see R9 280X. aite thanks thanks.

will see how much can i fetch for my 7850

Like no point upgrade

 

[royfrosty]

If gpu wise if you dont game much get a mainstream card will do. Can look at gtx760. If you are ups for a higher end card then r9 280x would be a good choice. Equivalent to the gtx770. But really like no point lol

 

[fockyerdod3r]

ahh no worries.. i see R9 280X. aite thanks thanks.

Upgrading to 280x is like 7850 upgrade to 7970. A bit no point.

 

[Ark Law]

[colonelsoh]
