[KarmaKing1128]

I recently got a good chunk of money and im looking to upgrade my gpu but dont know where to start. I currently have a ga-970a-ds3p motherboard and im getting a amd fx-8350 cpu. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

if you got a good chunk of money. get a new system. FX is ancient

 

[KarmaKing1128]

Ah, ok. Would you suggest building my own or buying a prebuilt one?

 

[rgd1101]

how much is this good chunk?
buying from where?

 

[KarmaKing1128]

I got a 3,000$ bonus and there wasn't a specific place i was thinking about buying from

This monitor it's just 1080p

Should be plenty and some overkill on the video card.

The case comes down to what you like RGB or not.

You will need to probably update the motherboard BIOS it's easy with the BIOS flash button.

What do you plan on using the PC for? If just gaming, then at which resolution? Any productivity or creative work loads? $3000 USD will cover most high end builds, so a lot of builds can be suggested.

Edit: 1080p Resultion

Thanks a bunch, the games ive been trying to run are pushing my pc a little hard and i guess a replacement was inevitable. That seems like a good price too, thanks for the help!
