Current specs

Motherboard: GA-78LMT-USB3
CPU: AMD FX-8230 (Not stock cooler)
Ram: 8Gb
GPU: GTX 950
PSU: EVGA 550W supernova 80 Gold
CASE: NZXT Case Mid Tower

Thinking to upgrade to

Motherboard: Undecided
CPU: i5 6500
Ram: G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory
GPU: EVGA Gtx 1060
PSU: EVGA 550W supernova 80 Gold
CASE: NZXT Case not sure of the model Mid Tower

Still haven't decided about the motherboard any suggestions? Also is this worth upgrading to this or should I save more and get a EVGA Gtx 1070?

Got the 6GB of VRAM GTX 1060 in here for you along...
Could you not get a 6600k instead? The overclocking will net you a massive boost for very little money. I'd say the GTX 1060 will be perfect for 1080p gaming and you'd see a massive difference just upgrading the CPU alone.

What country and how much budget do you have?
 


I was thinking the same thing and im from Canada and my budget is around $850 but i already have a new case and PSU so just looking for the motherboard, ram,cpu, and gpu
