Hi all,
I have a GTX 970 4gb, but it seems to be bottlenecked by the rest of my system which is a Core 2 Duo e6750, 4gb ram ddr3 and gigabyte motherboard. Needless to say that section of the system is very outdated. I would like this to be a budget build so I was thinking amd but hearing about all the system crashes it doesnt sound very worthwhile (had to recently return an rx460 but not sure if its because of my old MOBO). My PSU is an old 480W which i will also have to replace.
Would an i3 system be more suitable to be more reliable? I am a 'average' pc user, I browse, sometimes play Dota 2 and switch between chrome and Dota 2 while listening to music. My case is a Coolermaster centurion 7 which i also will replace, preferably something with tempered glass. I am also in the UK so please bear that in mind, I would be using eBay for finding parts
