Greetings.
A year ago, you helped me put together a solid build for $750. Now I’m wondering if upgrading it actually makes any sense.
Current specs:
Corsair,
EVGA AMD Radeon RX 470
Intel Core i3-6098P (
Seagate Barracuda 1TB, 64MB, 7200rpm,
ASUS B150
Crucial 8 GB, G.SKILL Value DDR4 2133MHz
Kingston UV400 120GB SSD, 2
EVGA 500W
What should I swap out first? This PC is primarily for gaming.
Adding another 8GB of Crucial is a must; running PUBG and Chrome at the same time leaves me with zero available memory.
Last year, I paid $127 for those 8GB of Crucial, and now they're priced at $237. Is anyone actually sane? What is happening with these prices?
Would it be smarter to just sell this rig and build something entirely new?
I'm looking at an NVIDIA GTX 1080—is it worth putting that on this motherboard? Plus a new CPU? Is that even doable with a new power supply?
Let's say my budget is around $800.
edit: I forgot to mention that if it's cheaper, I can order parts from European shops that ship to Graz, like Amazon.de.
