    [SOLVED] Should I upgrade my CPU or GPU (i5 6600k and GTX 970

    My parts are kind of dated by now but most games run fine. It's games like RDR2 that I don't seem to have the computer for to run properly. I'm wondering what's bottlenecking my PC and to what parts I should upgrade. Thanks!

    Changed from IDE to AHCI, still running IDE

My computer didn't blue screen or anything like that, so that's a good start. However when I check the device manager I see a different entry (for...

    Not enough connectors from PSU

    Thank you all so much for the suggestions and yes I am in holland ;) So it will take some days for me to get the new PSU while I can pick up a molex to 6 pin adapter in an hour or 2.

    Not enough connectors from PSU

    I'll get to buying a new PSU asap, will the adapter you mentioned suffice in the meantime? Will it keep my new GPU running without harming it?

    Not enough connectors from PSU

    I'm currently using a GTS 450 (soon to be replaced by a GTX 970) and the PSU is an ATX ms-n750-val (750W). If it'd help I could take a picture of it.

    Temperature reading normal?

    I noticed a certain burning smell coming from my computer (or the cables/plugs surrounding my computer) so I checked the temperature readings, my motherboard (ASRock 970 Extreme3) read 70C and my GPU (NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450) reads 80C, this is during relatively idle use. Is this normal or is my...
