I usually play older games and I'm used to turning setting down. I've finally got to a point where there are some games I want to play that really struggle. I'm realizing I will need to make some upgrades soon, but I don't know what to focus on. I haven't been paying attention to CPUs and GPUs for several years since I built my PC, so I'm not even familiar with current naming schemes.
I won't be spending a lot, so I was planning on getting something a gen or two old, which is what I did for my current setup, and I'm fine with getting used.
For day to day computer use, everything works fine. Some things are slower of course, like using photo software, but I'm not doing anything very intensive. Mostly it's gaming where I notice the lags and frame drops. Here's what I have:
Ryzen 7 1700X
Radeon RX 580 8GB
Gigabyte AB350M-DS3H-CF mobo
16 GB RAM
And my case is ATX but is smaller than some, so I'm not sure if every GPU would fit: Thetis case
Thanks!
