Leo Arias 1 Posted December 19, 2018 Good, I have a computer consisting of an A6 7400K R5 BLACK EDITION processor and 8gb ram DDR3, I was looking for a cheap board and it looks good to apply to the PC. If someone can give me a suggestion I would appreciate it. Suggest a r9 270x? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted December 27, 2018 Is that a dual core? Upgrade everything. Keep the case, PSU and RAM. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Walter Clements 27 Posted March 30, 2019 Try this, a gaming machine. Keep everything not listed here. CPU: Intel Core i5-8400 - https://www.amazon.com/Intel-i5-8400-Desktop-Processor-Cores/dp/B0759FGJ3Q ($199.00) Graphics Card: ASUS ROG Strix RX 580 - https://www.amazon.com/XFX-1386MHz-DDR5-Backplate-RX-580P427D6/dp/B07115GPN7/ ( $179.99, better than R9 270X at only a $50 addition) Motherboard: MSI Z370-A PRO - https://www.amazon.com/MSI-PRO-Intel-Gigabit-Motherboard/dp/B075GN9YC4/ ($119.99) Overall a <$500 upgrade. One might go on sale, or get a higher price. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syrens 159 Posted May 2, 2019 I'm sure that APU can go into an AM4 motherboard. If you're trying to upgrade in steps do a motherboard and upgrade to DDR4 memory, then like upgrade the APU to something better, else save up some more and do it all at once. If you're just looking for a "graphics" board then I'd still say upgrading just about everything. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
