Hello guys,
I have a 6 year old computer that still works just fine. The current configuration is as follows:
AMD FX-4300@4.2 GHz
2x4 GB DDR3 1600 MHz RAM
M5A97 LE R2.0
Asus GTX 650ti Boost DCUII
I am more of single-player type of gamer and I mostly play GPU intensive games with little or no interest in multiplayer. In this rig, GPU seems to be main factor that limits performance so I am looking to upgrade it.
What I actually wonder is whether it is reasonable to upgrade a single component in such an old system. I am looking forward to buy an RX570. Even though I did not use the computer extensively, I am not sure if my dinosaur CPU will keep working couple more years. Given this, is it reasonable to buy a new RX570 rather than a used one? I am kind of afraid to buy a used one because it is so popular to use this card for mining purposes.
Thanks.
