Hi!

I have been recently wondering about upgradiing a little bit my old PC. I boght it in 2012, and since then I have bought another 4GB of RAM some years ago, and in the last year I bought Sapphire Radeon RX 480 4GB.
Generally this PC was a perfect comrade for what I have been playing, but I would like to maybe get around 15 fps more in games like BF1 (which runs on medium) or highly crowded Guild Wars 2 events. Could you guys recomend something for a price of 165 EUR (around 145GP)?
I was thinking about bying more ram (or switching to faster type?) and maybe buing a cooler like Cooler Master 212 EVO and trying some overclocking on my i5 up to around 4,5 GHz (it runs on default settings and default cooler right now).

Any help will be appreciated!

More Ram will not likely help you squeeze any more performance out of your machine, although it would help with multitasking. Your best bet is overclocking your processor, or potentially buying a used 2700k off of ebay, which runs around 120 EUR, I feel that would give you the best possible upgrade for the money without upgrading CPU/Mobo/RAM.
