hello boys and girls/ladies(doubtful) and gents
I am looking to upgrade my pc though i am hesitant on what to upgrade 1st.
My initial thoughts were that the motherboard should be done 1st, that though would require new cpu and probably a new psu and and and...
So then i thought something simple like a chassis, but then i was like, what if the motherboards coming out dont fit in the chassis i bought.
Graphics cards are not my forte and as much as i like a good game i dont know what a new graphics card would require. i can only guess psu, possibly motherboard?!
anyhow, im now looking at monitors which may/maynot be a fail 1st upgrade.
Give a brother some advice here.
Thanks ya'll

Re: upgrade...incomplete?
Welcome to the forum matey !
First off, I would suggest what I did - stick with current hardware (even though 'okayish' and save the money till you have it all to upgrade.
Future proof is always the word here (there are two words there*) LOL
AAnyway, I have jut gone i7 after saving a few months, and that brings me to my next comment - who supplies your $ ?
If you are working already, i'd suggest budgeting and saving the money away in a 'kitty' of sorts.
If you are dependant on the parents or government - good luck..... uh,
I KID ! I KIDDD.... mow the lawn, clean the pool etc etc.
