The integrated graphics ports are blocked off so I think the cables are connected to the gpu

Couldn't figure out how to post a picture of my own from my phone, well, that's my pc's back. My first monitor is plugged in the third slot from the left)(in the row under the colored jacks) and my second one is in the big thingy just under that

I think there isn't any other spot to plug in the monitor

The CPU was reaching 70 degrees before i upgraded my cooler and right now the CPU is at 3.30 GHz, so it is working how it should. My powerplan is at High Performance. How can I set the GPU to main rendering?

All graphically heavy games like GTA V, Rainbow Six Siege, For Honor etc. Recently got a new CPU fan so the temperatures stay at 45-55°C

Pre built Acer Aspire GX 781 with: Gtx 1060 3gb Intel Core i5 7400 16Gb RAM

I've been noticing that my Gtx 1060 3gb doesn't have a high usage in games while my cpu reaches 100% quickly in most games, Is that a problem? I can play most games on pretty good graphics quality, but am afraid that this can cause drops in fps. Any info about this?

I've been going through my headphone program and found an option to turn on Xear Surround Max, when I tried to turn it on I did notice the difference, but don't know if it does anything special. Is this feature worth it turning on, or should just stay with the normal 7.1 Surround?

I honestly have no idea, couldn't find it anywhere, but the PC is an Acer Aspire GX 781, if that helps

An update: After a bit more research I have found that my case is a mini-tower / midi-tower (two websites with different names) And want to ask if the MSI B450 Tomahawk will fit in

Alright then, thank you all for help, I think that is everything I need!

I don't understand that question, but I've got Hynix HMA81GU6AFR8N-UH 2x8GB Also a question for that motherboard, how does this Bios update for the B450 Tomahawk work?

These sound like the best options, the ones above are too expensive for me CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor ($199.00 @ B&H) Motherboard: MSI B450 TOMAHAWK ATX AM4 Motherboard ($114.99 @ Best Buy) I think I will be picking these then

So you would suggest me to buy an 8th gen CPU instead of that i5 9400f, if I understand correctly? If so, I'd like to ask which CPU around the same price you would suggest

Most of the games I play slowly get it to 100%, some that are harder to run raise it even faster, so it's impossible to further lower the usage. What do you mean by not worth the investment?
