Making the most of an extra pc

[evale]

I recently built a new pc and still have my old one with most of the parts. I want to know the cheapest upgrades I can make to it so I can get the biggest bang for my buck. I mostly just want to upgrade the GPU enough to be able to handle half decent graphics(If at all possible).

Here are the SPECS:

AMD FX-Series Eight-Core FX-8320 Processor 3.5 GHz

MSI 760gma-p34(fx)

Cooler Master - Hyper 212 EVO

8 GB DDR3 RAM (Made by Crucial, I believe)

1 TB 7200 rpm Hard Drive

Radeon HD7750 1GB Graphics

EVGA 650w Superflow 80+ Gold

Windows 10

Again, just built a new PC so im trying to spend as little as possible. Just want to get something up and running for my Gf.

Thanks for your help in advance.

An SSD will give you the biggest bang for your buck performance wise.

Agreed on the SSD. A 120GB SSD is only around $50 and would be good enough for core system functions and a few games/programs. 240GB is around $100.

Get a 1050ti or a 1060. SSD will help load stuff faster, but wont make things run faster.

Wouldnt a 1050 or 1060 be too much for my CPU and/or MOBO?

 

[vrumor]

No. A 1050ti might be a better match, but if you can afford a 1060, id go with that.

Agree with vrumor,was thinking about the gtx 1050 ti too,looking at what i think you want to spend as well.
Can check used as well of course for a gpu.
