"Gaming pc" upgrade.

[iTzExpress]

I have an i3 3240 + HD7850.
I'm looking to upgrade for better gaming experience.
Could someone recommend a cpu+gpu upgrade that won't cost mega bucks but will give me a noticeable increase in quality and fps?

What are your current system specs? That will help determine what would work for you.

What motherboard and power supply do you have currently.

 

[iTzExpress]

Best I can remember is -
I3 3240
HD7850 2gb
12gb ddr3 1333 ram
1tb hdd 5400rpm
Xonar dgx sound card
700w psu
I think my mobo is h61m ds2 dvi-2 based on a previous post.
I'm not at home at the minute so I cant check 100% accuracy

How much are you looking to spend.

You can put a Core i7-3770 in that motherboard along with something like a GTX 1070, but it might be more than what you're willing to spend.

I dont have a fixed amount to spend or not spend. I would like to be at the cost of a 1070 for both cpu and gpu but only if it was a noticeable difference in performance. If not I would spend extra

Like a 1050ti 4gb. £140. What would be the ideal/matching cpu

 

[ThatVietGuy]

Any Core i5-3xxx would be fine.
