Hi folks,
I have a 5 year old system which is struggling to run AAA games at 1080p at a decent frame rate:
AMD FX 8350 @ 4 GHz
Nvidia GTX970
16GB DDR3 RAM @ 1600MHz
Asrock 970 Extreme 4
PSU: Corsair GS600
I'm looking to upgrade to AM4 and have been looking into the ryzen 3 3300x and 3100. I dont want to spend too much upgrading, ideally about £400. In order to save some money im wondering if i could keep the GTX 970 or would this create a bottleneck and if so what would be a good gpu choice.
Also should I purchase a new PSU or could I keep my current.
My budget includes buying a new case, DDR4 RAM, psu and possibly cooling - I have no plan on overclocking - but plan on keeping my current HDD and SSD.
Big thanks for any help in advance
