How does this look? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/YpkCgs
Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: this week
Budget Range: $400ish tops (before mail in rebates)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: I play a lot of games and use photoshop for design and photo editing
Are you buying a monitor: No
Parts to Upgrade: CPU, motherboard, ram, hardrive, OS. (I have a R9 270, I dont need a new card and I have a new power supply EVGA 600w)
Do you need to buy OS: Yes
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg, amazon or microcenter
Location: City, State/Region, Country - westchester county ny
Parts Preferences: by brand or type : would rather go with AMD since the price is less
Overclocking: doubtful
SLI or Crossfire: no
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: old prebuilt hp computer from 2010 is dying and can't keep up. Right now my computer is running AMD athlon IIx4 635 @ 2.9 and I have 4gb of ram. I don't need a psu or video card they were already updated, most games run at high with no issues but I'm guessing the ram and processor are bottlenecking the card; also having an issues with ram running at 95% during games and lagging it out. So new computer time!
