Hi Guys, at the moment I'm using an AMD A10 7850k and a GTX 960, with 8gb RAM and a standard 1TB Hard Drive.
I'm thinking of upgrading with money I'll be getting towards the end of the year, probably around £500. I'm not overly confident with building, but I have friends who are borderline experts, so there's no problem there.
I'll be upgrading to 16gb RAM just because it's fairly cheap, and I'm thinking of getting a GTX 1060 or something along those lines. I'm well aware that this will cause bottle necking issues with my processor, and I do play mostly CPU intensive strategy and etc ( which may be because I can't run GPU intensive games well ) but I think it would be worthwhile to upgrade this along with RAM and an SSD this year and get a new motherboard and CPU next year.
What do you think? Is this worth it, or should I push for a new motherboard and processor this year if I can afford it? I play games like Crusader Kings 2 and other strategy games along those lines,along with things like GTA V, Just Cause 3 and WWE 2K17 thrown in there. I play at 1080p.
