Should I upgrade my PC?

[Luke56]

Specs
i3-3220 @ 3.30 Ghz
Asus GTX 650-E 1GB
8 Gb Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 800 MHz


This computer is for gaming, so should I upgrade something? If so, could you suggest a low budget upgrade?

I could recommend a SSD (Intel or Samsung Evo) and a GTX 760 or 750ti

If you should or should not upgrade depends on your use for it. For example i just got a very low end computer to be a file server that probably wont even run windows 8 smoothly but as a file server it doesnt run windows at all BUT for a gaming comptuer you would want a higher preforming computer yes.

What kind of PSU do you have?
Hard drive?
Motherboard?

If your mobo supports 6gbs SATA, then +1 vote for SSD.
If you PSU is over 600w, then sure get a 750/760ti GPU.

if you can upgrade to stronger GPU like 780 or R9 290X
the motherboard it is good one
upgrade the PSU for sure to something can power your new GPU
upgrade the RAM to faster ones like 1333 MHz or more
SSD if you have more money
it all depend on your budget

How much can you invest in your build?
