Upgrading my Acer Desktop For Gaming and Video Editing.NEED HELP

6 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/upgrading-my-acer-desktop-for-gaming-and-video-editing-need-help.195574/

I am trying to upgrade my 5 year old ACER desktop.
I have decided to invest in motherboard, CPU, ram and a future proof gpu.(at least for next 4 years)
I have short listed AMD FX6300 for CPU, MSI 970 gaming Motherboard and ASUS STRIX GTX960 2gb.
Also a power supply for new power hungry components.
My budget is 40000.
I am living in Bangalore now,so if anyone knows any dealer who sells at price lower than online prices,please let me know.
Is my choice good enough or I should invest in something else?

No, dont go for FX6300 now, go for i5 4440 or an i3 4150, atleast you will have an upgrade path if you do so

yes but that is a n old processor by today's standards, an i5 delivers better performance

Hi [MENTION=281988]roshrohit[/MENTION],

I agree with Narevarine. In my opinion, the future proof rig has the latest CPU and the new MOBO with the latest technology. For most future proofing rig use the overclocking CPU to increase the maximum speed as per game or application requirements.

In short, for future proofing, your main focus on the CPU and MOBO. With that in future, you can upgrade the other components like RAM and GPU.
