Hello everybody. I'm gonna upgrade my PC in a few monts when the ADM Zen CPU launches, so I need suggestions what to upgrade with it.
MY PC:
MOBO: MSI A88XM-P33 V2
CPU: AMD x4 860k at 3.8gHz
Fan: Evo 212
8gb DDR3 Corsair Vengance at 1866mHz
Asus strixx Radeon r9 380 2gb
PSU: Corsair 550W 80+
Thermaltake Commander 2

I'm thinking of DDR4 Rams, SSD 120GB for OS.

Any thoughts, tips and tricks are welcome ! Thank you :)
 


Yes I know, definatly going for new mobo after getting new cpu 😀
Do you guys think my PSU will handle AMD Zen ?

I have one more question. Curently I have Philips 191V monitor and i considering buying new because I have noticed weird stuttering.. Should I buy AOC 22" g2260vq6 or something else ?
 
About PSU, it depends which series it is, VS, CS, CX etc. Look for the series and if it's below Tier two, get a new PSU,
PSU Tier list: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

For a new PSU, aim for a Tier two PSU, preferably Tier one if you could afford it.
Anything from Seasonic is great, 500W if you get APU, 600W range if you get FX series CPU,

E.g S12II series or M12II EVO series. X series for Tier one PSU.

For monitors, any Freesync monitor will do. Here's a list of them,

I personally would go with, Asus VG245H (24.0", 75Hz)

Of if you like to play FPS games then, Acer XF240H (24.0", 144Hz)
