I have it overclocked to 4.0GHz, not sure If I should upgrade RAM and graphics card or just buy a whole new computer? I don't really play a ton of games but would like to have the option to play newer titles

Let's assume the answer is build a whole new PC. If so, what would your budget be?

If we assume upgrade, again, what would your budget be?

Just upgrade cpu/mobo/ssd

Or cpu/mobo/rams if u want ddr4 rams

Nn for new gpu yet if u don't play any games. Most popular games aren't that gpu intense anyway, unless Ur into Witcher 3 like games.

If your PC is older then 1 year yes if you got extra money to blow and dont might outdated slighty shit after 2 years yes unless you do not mind outdated and slower computer compared to what some Extra $$$ would buy you like 1500$ and custom building a pc is like best of the best its a perfect proccessor and graphics card and good shit ton of gb's of ram thanks to windows now support more then 4 gbs and games utlizing it and size and LOADING SPEED of hdd equally important i mean...... I Spent 500$ on my monitor and i think 1000$ 1500$ MAXIMUM for best computer and even keyboard and mouse and custom case.


More then 1500 i can imagine for an overclocked Proccessor and HIGH QUALITY GAMING RAM like i plan to get 10 gbs of ram gaming quality 8gbs for the computer AND SHAREWARE With My TOP OF THE LINE BRAND NEW BEST OF THE BEST but not like half price two months from now shit or slightly faster or better looking best of best but money wise best to also important But the Graphics card i would buy 2gbs of ram shareware for computer and graphics card but i cant imagine a graphics card using more then 2 gb and cards that dont use shareware best of the best use 1024mb i think of memory RAM.
