CPU Upgrade Question...

[Deleted member 88301]

Greetings and Salutations.

I'm wondering if a CPU would be worth the money and time.




I currently have a Dell Precision T3500, Specs:

Xeon X5672 at stock speed, 3.2 Ghz/ 3.6 GHz

eVGA GTX 750 Ti Sc

8 GB Ram

One internal HDD, 1 TB

One internal SSD, 120 GB

One external HDD, 3 TB



Given that spec layout, what would you guys upgrade first? Please understand that I'm on an extremely tight budget, so a 1080 isn't in my near future.


Thanks to all of the [H]ooligans out there!

For gaming? Upgrade the video card first. GTX 1060 6GB is available quite often for ~$230 shipped from Jet.com (using coupon). Also consider bumping to 16GB RAM, but a video card would be a higher priority.

Keep in mind most modern games that demand graphical power also have large installation packages, so you may want to upgrade the SSD to a larger one.
