Rig Upgrade Necessary?

[jm05b]

Hi Guys,

Given that my setup is around 2+ years old already, I am again at the stage of "upgrading". By upgrading, I just mean getting newer components while still retaining my board. Below is my current setup:

AMD A4-5300
Deepcool Gammaxx 200
Gigabyte GA-F2A68HM-S1
Sapphire R7 250X 1GB DDR5
Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB DDR3 1866MHz
Seagate 250GB + 500GB HDD
FSP Hexa+ 550
Windows 10 Pro 64 bit
Cooler Master K280

Looking at the above, it is obvious that the CPU is the oldest part, and I am considering an upgrade within the limits/capacity of my board. So I am thinking of two options:

1. Upgrading to a newer CPU (A8/A10); or
2. Buying an SSD; or
3. Athlon X4 plus a new GPU

I am just looking for a new refresh to my system, and maybe a little increase in speed. After all, I just play LOL, and mostly download & consume media. I am also looking for the most practical/cost efficient suggestion.

Any thoughts? Or should I just sit tight and not look for ways to waste money?

Thanks!

If you want to keep the board you won't get a very big upgrade as its FM2+ socket. Honestly, I'd recommend selling that whole pc for as much as you can get and upgrade to Ryzen when it launches on the 2nd.

Seriously FM2+ is out of date, same with AM3+ If you really want a decent gaming PC go with Ryzen, Cheap affordable and it really seems promising.

if you only play LoL though, a a8-a10 would probably do you just fine if you only want 60 fps and play no other games.
