I am running an older rig and Id prefer not to start over for a couple more years. currently running:

GTX 550ti
AMD FX-8120

seems to be a decent enough combo. i haven't noticed any significant bottle necking but I understand that can happen and why. Wondering what gen I can upgrade to and get the best return for my investment.

ty m8s!

ASUS SABERTOOTH 990FX, AM3+, AMD Motherboard
GTX 550ti
AMD FX-8120 unlocked 8 core
CORSAIR Vengeance LP 16GB DDR3

the fuck are you going to bottleneck with both items being trash

thanks for the help

considering 1050ti. does this sound right? I am not trying to spend 500+ on a gpu when I will need to replace everything in 1.5 years

kinda same boat
id recommend
just buy 1 good piece at a time if ur budget doesnt allow more
else u just gonna redo it every year

meanwhile use ur pc u have.

ty

do it in this order, gpu > cpu. pretty sure i've seen people with worse cpu's (fx 6350, which is a tier lower) that have gotten a good gpu and held off while still reeping a lot of benefits from a new gpu.

What gpu would you recommend?
