A while back I built my first gaming pc on budget which I am still using to this day (h170m pro4s mobo, i5 6500 cpu, 8g ddr4 hyperx 2133 ram, r9 280x gpu) a few years later my r9 280x had to go and I went with a gtx 1080 with plans to upgrade piece by piece over time... its now been a couple more years and im still sitting with the same pc just a gtx 1080 instead of a r9 280x.. im finally getting the urge to upgrade and am at a bit of loss where to start, first I thought well more ram becasue 8g doesnt quite cut it anymore, but I ran into the fact my mobo only supports 2133 mhz ram (not sure if this is considered good anymore..) So my question is basically, is it worth buying more ram at 2133 mhz or.. should I upgrade, and if I upgrade id need to upgrade my mobo, if I upgrade my mobo I might as well upgrade my i5 6500 at the same time. I dont really want to sink another $600+ into my build but if thats the best solution I guess its what I will do.
long question made short...
is it time to upgrade my mobo and buy better ram, or does anyone have cheaper solutions that they think would be plenty good enough?
