Thank you guys! I have chosen the one with the MB that doesn't need an update!

What would a MB which would not need a BIOS update cost? And if I decide to use the method you advise could I reformat any USB drive to fat32?

That price looks good. I am a bit lost as to why I would have to update my BIOS as in the video, could you explain? Does it just come with an outdated version which this newer CPU doesn't recognise or something?

Oh forgot my PSU: PSU: be quiet! pure power L8 630W It is quite old so I think it needs replacement. I have 2 monitors of 1080p dont know the exact refresh rate but probably not more than 60Hz. I have enough storage for the moment. So parts I need would be: MB, CPU, GPU, PSU, RAM.

Hello everyone. Sadly my GPU has died, it has been deactivated by Windows and I have tried to fix it to no avail. Luckily I was going to buy a new one in the near future, but now it needs to happen somewhat earlier than anticipated. I have around 1000 euros as a budget, although lower budgets...

It seems that buying the GPU in Germany makes me have to pay import taxes into the Netherlands. This makes almost all 2070s around €100 more :( No import over the other parts though Edit: The "Zotac Gaming GeForce RTX 2070 Mini" is still affordable within my budget, should I just get that one?

Ah my warranty is almost over so it would indeed seem smart to buy a new one. Yet another question as to why I should go for the "geforce rtx 2070 MINI"? Any particular reason or is this one especially good or something?

Okay I feared that was going to be the answer. How long do they generally last? This one I indeed used for 2 to 3 years.

Another question: Can't I keep using my current PSU? Or would you recommend against doing that, and if so why? Because saving the cost of a new PSU could maybe mean better CPU or GPU or would that mean needing more wattage?

Oh no I was going to use it for gaming mainly so I thank you for the advice! I was just a bit curious. I'll go with an AMD chip!

After thinking about it for some time, what would be the Intel CPU to go for using this budget? I'm still not sure if I want to go AMD or Intel.

So you guys would still say to buy a new PSU or is this one good? Also would you say to buy a more expensive GPU or CPU if I already have the storage and the PSU covered with my budget?

Oh I guess I fogot to say what PSU I am using. PSU: be quiet! pure power L8 630W I also already have enough storage space so those costs can be cut from the part lists. Regarding the CPU I thought I would go for an Intel this time as I had some problems with overheating on this and my former...

Hello fellow PC people. I have around 1000 euros to spare and I was wondering what you people would suggest for me to upgrade my current PC with. Current specs: CPU: AMD FX 8150 Cooling: Stock* Moederbord: ASUS M5A97 R2.0 RAM: 2x Corsair Vengeance (4GB) GPU: Nvidea GTX 770...
