Not sure what to change

[racsosenuf]

Hey!

So the thing is I built this 2 years ago:

CPU: FX-6350 @3.9GHz 6-Core
GPU: R9 380 2GB version
Motherboard: Asus M5A97 EVO R2.0
RAM: HyperX Fury 2x4GB @1866MHz
PSU: Be Quiet Pure Power L8 CM 630W Modular
(Links are to Amazon.es since I'm from Spain)

And I've been watching benchmarks and stuff for the CPU and GPU, and said benchmarks seem to be getting higher framerates than I am at higher settings. So I'm not sure whether I should change the CPU (since I'd have to change the mobo and RAM as well) or the GPU, or just throw everything out the window. What do you guys think?

You can ask me for more info if you need it.

It depends, what are you trying to run? The 380 is still a pretty good card, and if you can wait, Vega might make the wait worth it.

Personally, I would upgrade the CPU/mobo/RAM, but it actually seems like some games like BF1 are taking advantage of the extra cores in your CPU.

Personally, I play a lot of TF2, and even in that game, with this rig, I suffer drops to 30-40 at 1080p, which is really bothering.

But overall, I'd like to play any game that comes out. What CPU/Mobo/RAM combo would you recommend for a budget of, say, 400€ (around 350£)

I don't remember if it works right out of the box, I think it does, but I like the Ryzen 1600, B350 tomahawk, and 8 to 16 GB DDR4 RAM (any big brand is fine, g.skill is good)

the 1600 is about 180, B350 is about 90 - 100, and the RAM would be around 50 to 100, depending on if you go 8 or 16 GB.
