Looking to do a rebuild/upgrade on my PC
Post Body

The time is finally here where I think it is time to retire my current PC and go with a fresh start.

My current build is as follows:

  • AMD FX-8150 Eight-Core Processor

  • Corsair H60 AIO CPU Cooler (or something close to this)

  • Patriot 32GB DDR3 1600MHz

  • XFX Radeon R7 200 series 2GB GPU (can't remember exact model)

  • Corsair HX850i

  • WD 1TB 7200 HDD

  • Samsung 120GB SSD

  • Corsair Crystal 570X RGB

My main intended use for the PC is for freelance web design/development. So use of some Adobe products as well as running an Apache server on it for local development. Secondary use would be some light gaming as I am getting the urge to start back up after taking a few years off from PC gaming. The current CPU handles everything...fine but its starting to show its age.

I have $1000 dollars to spend on this upgrade but would prefer to coming in closer to the 800 dollar mark. I'm in the US.

Here is a list of the parts I have put together. I plan on keeping the case and psu.

Mostly looking for feedback on yes I should do something about my dinosaur. The only thing I have really been going back and forth on is upgrading the GPU but I also know its old.

Any tips, help or suggestions welcome.
