Should I upgrade my pc or buy a pre-built PC?

[SSGB8]

Trying to figure out what I should do? I can buy the upgrades that I need for my PC but, don’t know how to do everything. Or should buy a better PC that pre-built with better specs.

[Bruce]

there comes a point where after everything is upgraded you have a new PC anyway.
so now the point becomes do I want to do it?, can I do it?, is it cheaper to simply buy off the shelf?

Hi,

Looking at the specs, you are better off buying a new CPU, motherboard, RAM, and video card and upgrading those components while keeping the case, power supply, and existing SSD.

What country do you live in?

United States

Ok.

Here is something I would upgrade to:

Motherboard: MSI MPG X570 GAMING PLUS Gaming Motherboard AMD AM4 SATA 6Gb/s M.2 USB 3.2 Gen 2 HDMI ATX

RAM: G.SKILL Flare X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) AMD X370 / B350 Memory (Desktop Memory) Model F4-3200C14D-16GFX

CPU: AMD RYZEN 7 3800X 8-Core 3.9 GHz (4.5 GHz Max Boost) Socket AM4 105W 100-100000025BOX Desktop Processor

GPU: SAPPHIRE PULSE Radeon RX 5500 XT DirectX 12 100418P8GL 8GB 128-Bit GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 ATX Video Card

[SSGB8]

Thank you , but I don’t want to spend that much just around 700

[Evan_Omo]

Then you can get a cheaper video card, Sapphire PULSE Radeon RX 580 8GB GDDR5 PCI-E Dual HDMI / DVI-D / Dual DP OC w/ Backplate (UEFI), 100411P8GOCL, and CPU, AMD RYZEN 5 3600 6-Core 3.6 GHz (4.2 GHz Max Boost) Socket AM4 65W 100-100000031BOX Desktop Processor

[SSGB8]

Will still need a new motherboard, ram, battery

[Evan_Omo]

Well I would just go with upgrading the motherboard, CPU and RAM and keep your current video card to save money until you can upgrade that at a later date.

The video card is still passable so I would upgrade those other three components first and then decide on when you want to upgrade the GPU.

Ok thank you
