What to upgrade first?

[Droaaid]

What should i upgrade first? CPU or GPU?
GPU : AMD Radeon HD 7480D (integrated)
CPU :AMD A-4 5300
Motherboard: Asus F2A55-M LK2 PLUS (FM2)
I've already upgraded RAM from 4GB to 8GB
My budget is low +- 50€

I don't want to be mean, but I think you'd be better off if you save up and upgrade your whole platform. New motherboard, CPU, RAM, and a dedicated Graphics card, not an integrated one.

Any money you spend on this system that can't be used on a new one will be a sunk cost. You won't get your money's worth when you try to sell it.

If you do upgrade anything with this system, make sure it's something you could use on a new one. For example, don't get more RAM again. DDR3 won't work on the new stuff.

Maybe get an SSD or a new graphics card. Both of those can work with a new system, too.

And what kind of gpu should i upgrade to? (i'm thinking of Gigabyte Geforce 710 or higher maybe 1030)

I made the assumption you are going to be using this to play games. Is that correct? If so, which games and at what resolution?

GTA 5 any resolution possible (im used to play games at 800x600 with this PC and 22' 1080p monitor 😀 )

I'm not much into AMD but if there's a MoBo that supports Ryzen 5 and your current CPU then upgrade to that. Later on you can upgrade the CPU and rams.

Unfortunately, those parts won't work on a Ryzen box. Not to be mean, but best bet is to save up for a new cpu, board, ram, and gpu at the very least. Be prepared to replace the power supply as well. With new board and cpu, you may need another copy of windows.

I suppose you could try to drop an Athlon II x4 that's socket AM2 in there and a better gpu, but you don't want to sink much into an old rig like that one.

I guess i should start stealing money on the street 😀 (jk)

I know how you feel. Only reason I got to upgrade this month was I had my ps4, decided I didn't play it,sold it to gamestop with all the controllers and games for just over 200 dollars, and got some money from a side job and trading some other stuff, which is why I was able to upgrade.
