Hello. OK quick intro, Im in the Uk and 21. The system I have at the moment is a big Dated. Buld not all the componets are. Also My budget is a bit tight otherwise i would just be asking for a mega build guide
VVV note the usage of the guide VVV
What Im after is some guidance on a cpu and gfx upgrade. with possible ram upgrade. I might have to get a more powerfull psu aswell
The system as it is right now is this:
