What to upgrade to?

[jonaz889]

Hello 😀

I have $535 to upgrade my computer. Currently this is my setup:

gfx-card: ASUS GeForce GTX 1070 ROG Strix Gaming

Motherboard: ASUS Model: A88XM-E

CPU: AMD Athlon X4 860K (I know)

PSU: vs550 corsair

RAM: 16384 MBytes DDR3

Other: I am running windows 10, I have fine cooling

I obiously have to get a new cpu and therefore also a new motherboard, if you have any suggestions about what to buy I would be gratefull.

Sorry for the properly spellingmistakes this is my second languge.

Thanks in advance

- Jonas

Because you have DDR3 now, and all those builds use only DDR4.
