I just bought my first desktop pc and it's a pre built cyberpower pc. I'm very new to the pc market and was wondering what i can upgrade or what components to put in to take it up a notch for better gaming and performance. Here are the specs
Thanks in advance.

Check this out at Amazon.com
CYBERPOWERPC Gamer Ultra GUA3120A w/ AMD FX-4300 3.8GHz CPU, 8GB DDR3, AMD R7 250 2GB, 1TB HDD, 24X DVD+-RW & Win 10 Home 64-Bit Desktop Gaming PC https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01L0JGRSI/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_.CwCzbXK0EMXJ

The worst pre-built company EVER!!!! Sorry, no love for them. They've a horrible track record.

Anyways back to you. The 4300 is so very weak. Oh.... So too is the 250. DOn't tell me 4GB RAM. Okay, 8GB. Gamer Ultra with Ultra...

Anyways back to you. The 4300 is so very weak. Oh.... So too is the 250. DOn't tell me 4GB RAM. Okay, 8GB. Gamer Ultra with Ultra low hardware? Bad Cyberpower.

To start I....I need a budget.

Just assuming your budget is along the lines of the hardware at hand I recommend upgrading to the 1050TI 4GB/ RX 560 4GB or the 1060 3GB/ 480 4GB.

Next up is the FX APU. The FX 8350 is another upgrade.

I'd upgrade the GFX card first and then the CPU.

How much did you pay for it? Because tbh its one of the worst "gaming" pcs you can buy and has a very weak upgrade path. Putting it back in the box and returning it is the best option here.

What Rogue Leader is saying would be your best option. That's why i don't like CYBERPOWERPC, I can't believe they could charge $1500 for that PC or someone would actually buy it. For the love of tech your Pc is running the AMD FX-4300 that 's not even a gaming CPU and I'm not even want to talk about the AMD R7 250 because is useless for gaming.

You don't really have anything worth upgrading. You should replace it.

I just hope that that page is just for information. To believe someone would invest that amount of money on a ~$500 PC just isn't possible.

That is the absolute worst "gaming" PC ever seen. R7 250? That is outperformed by an integrated GPU.. Yes, I know, not a fair comparison. It's only 30% better than the HD 630, which is in Kaby Lake.

Here's a better new build if you can return it :

If you can't return it, get the 1060 3G.
