Hey, I would like to upgrade an old computer piece by piece over course of few months. Right now I am thinking about buying new GPU but I don't know if it is a good idea. I mean would it work together? Would it make sense to buy it from performance point of view?
Current components are:
CPU Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 BOX
MB GIGABYTE P43-ES3G
RAM Kingston 4GB DDR2-800Mhz 2x2GB
And I am thinking about buying one of these:
MSI R9 380 2GD5T OC (Armor 2X)
SAPPHIRE DUAL-X R9 380 OC
XFX R9 280 DD 3GB DDR5
Sapphire Technology Radeon R9 380OC 2GB DDR5 ITX COMPACT
I've created pcpartpicker list with these parts (hope I didn't make any errors) where you can see details about each component.
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 2.33Ghz Quad-Core Processor ($160.93 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-P43-ES3G ATX LGA775 Motherboard
Video Card: MSI Radeon R9 380 2GB Video Card ($181.98 @ SuperBiiz)
Total: $342.91
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available
