Is this worth the money?

[George_144]

What i currently have:
-cpu amd fx 8300
-gpu gtx 1060 3gb
and other parts from upgraded prebuilt

I this worth buying:
Corsair Air 540 Case
Corsair Vengeance 12gb 1600 RAM
Gigabyte Z97-GAMING 7 Motherboard
Corsair Hydro Series H80i V2 High Performance Liquid Cooler
i7 4790k Processor
2tb WD Black Performance Hard Drive
Wireless Wi-Fi Card
Corsair TX750 Power Supply
Windows 10 Pro
for £340
seems like a good deal but dont know if the mobo and cpu/ ram will be good for much longer sa they are allready old parts.

I would say no. The system is up to about four years old. So it is quite possible that the components could be nearing the end (depending upon usage). And the system was sold for a reason. Plus there is no graphics card.

That 4790k is still a strong processor today and a definite upgrade. What's your budget?

This is more worth it if you are keeping your GPU and hard drive

Yes, I noticed that too. Unmatched RAM at a minimum.
