Updating my PC.

[Sunfire]

Hello,

Today I was thinking about updating my PC a bit. I'm willing to spend around 500-600 euro.
Main use is Gaming ofc. GunZ, League, CS:GO.

I already have a great monitor,keyboard,mouse,headset, GFX Card and I need some other hardware components and PC Box. I also have to change mother board since the one im using is pretty old.

Suggestions are welcomed.

It depends what exactly you want to upgrade, usually the most important component at the moment is the GFX card, next one is the SSD so if you don't have one, better get one with high capacity and load your games on it.

Except the GFX Card ( I got the 750TI which works for me) everything else needs to be changed.

Computer Box, Motherboard,SSD,etc.

You can look up the new Ryzen from AMD or stick with Intel.
Suggest to look up at the new z270 motherboards and processors (cool to use for UC on gunz right)
or look at the skylake version the z170/ i5 6600k or i7 6700k+

List your current system specs and I think you will get better advice. Include the monitor.

I find a fast running pc more important as fancy graphics.

Agreed

I'd upgrade the RAM with a better DDR version.
Don't forget to pair your processors with your motherboard (sockets).

Also heard this website is useful https://pcpartpicker.com/

For motherboards are you looking for compatibility with your current peripherals or are you looking to tweak voltage etc?

[S1lent]

If I were you, the 3 parts you should be looking to upgrade are going to be your cpu, ram and mobo. A C2D is really dated at this point. Im not sure what the prices in EU are right now though.
