Hi, I want to know what I should upgrade of my computer? What is the weak part in my PC? I think I should upgrade my CPU, but i'm not sure, and I want AMD parts not Intel if anyone could recommend some. Thanks! 

 

My Specs:

Specs: Hewlett-Packard p6674y System Model
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit
AMD Phenom™ II X4 820 Processor
6 GB Available Memory
919 GB Hard Disk
AMD Radeon HD 7850 2GB 
4 Processor Cores

What does everyone think about this CPU & motherboard? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1WocZ 

I would think about getting a better processor, maybe an AM3+ socket, like an FX series processor? What is your budget for upgrading?

 

FX series overclock very nicely, even though it doesn't have an integrated GPU its much faster than the A10. It depends what kind of gaming you intend to do, whether or not you intend to record, render videos/models, etc. Are you a casual gaming or an elite one? Is overclocking something your interested in?

Also, you might want to consider installing more RAM.

You can't get 919GB of HDD, more like 920GB.

Should I get more RAM or get a new processor? My budge for processor is $150 and under, although I wouldn't like to spend $150 preferably lower than that. Also i'm just a casual gamer and I won't usual record.

I'd probably opt for a newer processor, but you might have to get a new motherboard too in order to support the newer socket CPU's. Micro center had a deal a while ago where you could get $50 off a motherboard when you bought a new processor, so I'd look for deals/combos like that.

Hmm well with only $150 I would probably go for a new processor but like br100x said, you'd probably have to upgrade the motherboard to support the newer processor's socket.

 

Here is something things that should be right in your budget.

 

Processor

 

Motherboard

 

I would take a look at those and those should be right in your price range. I'd also look into overclocking that FX processor if you want faster performance without going straight to upgrading, plus your graphics card is able to be overclocked, the graphics card should have sufficient cooling for that but the processor may need a water cooler if you intend to overclock it pretty high.
