Hello everyone,
I'm new to building PC and as such this PC was a pre-built from 2012. It's been decent to me over time and the only real thing I've done to it is change the GPU. The current specs are as listed:
CPU: AMD FX(tm)-6300 Six-Core Processor 3.5 GHz
Motherboard: Asus M5A78L-M/USB3
Memory: Corsair Vengeance Blue 2X4GB DDR3 2133
Storage: WD Blue 1TB 7200RPM (2012) HHD
Storage: Adata Ultimate SU800 256GB SSD
Video Card: AMD RX 480 4GB
Case: Corsair Griphite Series 230T
Power Supply: Corsair CX Series CX500 500W
Now budget wise, I'm considering doing this piece by piece, so a mid ranged budget is fairly doable of say ~$1000-1200 over the next year.
I know the CPU is probably in dire need of being replaced but I'm unsure whether I'd need to get a new motherboard or not to do so. Any feedback would be highly appreciated. If there is any more information that I missed, please ask me and I'll provide it as soon as possible.
Thank you all very much!
