I decided to postpone the upgrade until I learn about the price of the cheapest 3000 series card. If I can afford let’s say a 3060, then I’ll upgrade the mobo, ram and CPU, and anything else it needs in my system, accordingly to how I laid it out in the original post. If even the 3060 is too...

I have finally made a decision. Thanks to everyone for their knowledgeable contribution.

Its cooling was very highly praised in the advert but if it's in fact sub-par then I'll look into other offers instead. As a potential PSU upgrade, the Kolink Core 600W seemed reasonable for cards such as the GTX 1660 or RX580.

How about the ASUS GTX 1070 Turbo OC 8 gig? If that could fit the mobo, I'd buy a proper PSU for it and call it a day. If not, then 1660 6gigs it is.

I've certainly noticed it's heavily capped at upgrades. My naive self even wanted an NVME M.2 SSD for it at some point but oh well.. Having learned all the things above, the second route, where I only go for a GPU for now, might need to be extended by a new PSU as well. Just checked and here's...

It wasn't exactly in plan to add RAM to the cart but I'd have to, apparently, if I wanted an upgrade on the base of operations (mobo), rather than the graphical unit alone. Those are some useful guidelines indeed! Sweet to have all these generations in one spot. As for my PSU, without info on...

Jeez Louise this forum is amazing. Can't believe you guys replied so quick:) I'm aware that the mobo I scoped out isn't exactly top notch but I sort of meant that as an average example of an entry level AM4 mobo. I've been looking at the B450 for a long time just couldn't recall its specific...

Hey! Basically I have the aforementioned system on an ancient ASUS H61M-A mobo which hardly supports any modern hardware. I'm thinking of two routes to go, in terms of upgrade: #1 (keep the current GPU but buy the following): GIGABYTE GA-A320M-H MOBO AMD Ryzen 5 3600 CPU #2 (keep the current...

Hey thanks for responding:) I only plan to upgrade the CPU and RAM later on. For now a stronger base and faster storage is all I’m looking for. Just not sure what mobo would still support an i7 3770 and allow for a modern SSD at the same time, within the $80 range.

Hey. My specifications are as follows: I was considering to purchase a 500GB SSD and replace the 1TB HDD but I needed a PCIe - M.2 converter for the SSD, since my ancient mobo doesn't support newer models. But then I thought investing in a more up to date motherboard might be more efficient...

I’m considering only using the 8GB card, in which case it’s 4 gigs less, but it stays at 1600MHz - its full capacity, so I don’t lose performance. I’m on a budget and hence why I’m too sure about this purchase.

Henlo. I have a ASUS H61M-A motherboard which only has two RAM slots. One of those slots currently contains a Kingston HyperX Fury 4gigs DDR3 1333MHz card, and I plan to purchase a Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB DDR3 1600MHz one. I would like to ask if the two of these could co-function, and what's...

Having said all of the above, which I highly appreciate from the both of you, I will most probably order the following items: GIGABYTE GeForce GT 1030 2GB GDDR5 64bit HyperX FURY 8GB DDR3 1600MHz (although I remember my current 4 gig card being 1333MHz which I hope it won’t be an issue) If you...

Could it also handle a total of 12 gigs of RAM? And lastly, could my current 4gig card co-exist with a foreign 8 gig card next to it, possibly of a different manufacturer? This would be my last question before making the purchase. Also I’m glad to learn that these two types of components aren’t...

Hey I managed to get in there and it said 460W for total power. I hope it's sufficient enough for the GT 1030, seeing as it's already a huge step forward from my rusty old GT 630. I'm still contemplating as to how to upgrade my RAM, the info you told me about it, with regards to my motherboard...
