[SOLVED] Upgrade gpu/ram/cpu/etc. for MSI B250 Krait Gaming?

[Kristomani]

Hi

I just got a pc with a MSI Krait gaming:
https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B250-KRAIT-GAMING
Is there a good recommended cpu for this board. I'm not too interested in overclocking, but maybe it is good to have that option?
The gpu i got is a gt 1030 OC 2gb
(I also got an old gt545 TI OC 3gb, which I took from an Acer G3610, old, from 2012).
Ram is 2x4gb 2133mhz ddr4.
If someone has advice in upgrading, I'll be gratefull👍🎅

memory:
you can buy another kit of 2x4 or 2x8 memory, ddr4 2400 speed.

gpu:
which psu do you have?

for GPU, if your power supply has 6pin/8pin pcie connector, you can get something like a rx570 or 1650 super. around 130-150 USD, very decent card.
if you don't have a the 6/ pin, 1650 with no 6pin is a good choice, cost about the same 130~150 USD, it's slower, but it doesn't require the extra connector.

cpu:
what CPU do you have currently install?
you could try get a 6700 or used for about 150 USD.

however, if you are willing to spend around 200 on the CPU, i would actually suggest you to get a brand new ryzen 2600 and cheap b450m for a bit more. you are getting similar performance plus warranty for a bit more. plus a good upgrade path in the future.

it's a decent entry level pc.

how much budget are you willing to spend? and is this an gaming pc? if yes, what game do you play?

Got this for gaming for the kids on 9, 11 and 13. I've tried fortnite and it went well, hehe I died after jumping of a cliff after 5 min 😊 I don't know the fps while playing though. Trying to keep the budget low for now, until I win in the national lottery👍 I payed around 180 usd for it, used, so if I could kepp the budget under about 100, it'll be great.
