Hi guys. I have an Amd FX6300 (not overclocked) and R9 270 PowerColor. So what are my options for replacing either of these two components? Should i replace it both or just one of them? My first thought was to change cpu family and to buy some Intel i5, new mobo, and new ram(ddr4 over ddr3 which i have now), but then i don't know would it be bottleneck with i5 and my R9 270. I'm open for suggestions. My budget is around 400 euros.
 
going over to a new platform will kill your budget (300+ for i5 and mobo) ugrade the gpu to a 1060, deal with the bottlenecks for now, and upgrade the mobo and cpu later.
the bottlenecks won't be that bad.
 


Well if he sells his actual build, upgrading entrire pc may be a good option depending if he want new components.
An used processor + new mobo wont be so bad.
Cheers.
 
Hi guys. So far i have found i5 6500, Gigabyte Z170-HD3P and 8GB 2400Hz DDR4 ram for about 400 euros. But then ill be stuck with R9 270 gpu, and i can't see any other income in future that i could spent just on pc. Also i cant know exactly how fast i could sell my current configuration (cpu, mobo and ram). So 400 euros is all i got atm. That's why i am in doubts about all this. 😀
 


Take a look:

CPU i5 6400: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B010T6CG7E/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1XCF8DLK3OC2Y
MOBO Asrock Z170 Pro4 If you want to upgrade in the future: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B0153DWJ3E/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3JWKAKR8XB7XF or Asrock B150 Pro 4s if you don't care about overclocking and stuff: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B0151PLG10/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3JWKAKR8XB7XF
RAM: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B01DOWXJ7G/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3JWKAKR8XB7XF

Total with Z170: 330e
Total with B150: 297e

It's already very cheap and im sure you can find even cheaper. Then you sell your GPU buy a GTX 1060 or RX 480 if it's cheaper and you are good. Anyway it's just a proposition.
