Hi all,
I am planning to upgrade as my sons PC is under performing. Hoping for some advice on compatibility to upgrade the CPU, maybe the motherboard and definitely add SSD.
Here are the current specs:
HDD= HGST 7200 RPM SATA3.5”
GPU= radeon rx 580 series
CPU= AMD FX(tm)-8350 Eight-core Processor 4.00 GHz
MBO = Asus m5a99fx pro r2.0
RAM- 8GB
PSU = Antec 1000W TPQ-1000
Our budget is $500 excluding the cost of the SSD - so my question is what would you upgrade with this budget. Both motherboard and CPU or try to keep motherboard?
Thanks in advance
