Hello, this is my first post and am definitely not savvy to this world but was hoping I could bend the ear of anyone who might be knowledgeable about this.
This post is solely about PC upgrades for gaming as that's all I use it for.
I don't do any online gaming, I just like to play RTS in what free time I have. (Total War junkie)
Anyways I was playing Bannerlord and am finding that even on low settings I am getting some low frame rates (I don't know the specific numbers) so I decided to run a diagnostic and found my GPU and CPU lacking, and with black Friday coming up I thought it time for an upgrade.
This is what I have:
Prebuild: Cyberpower et 8140
MotherBoard: Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2
(I don't know my power source)
UserBenchmarks: Game 13%, Desk 64%, Work 10%
CPU: AMD FX-6300 - 62.4%
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 560-B - 21.9%
HDD: WD Blue 1TB (2012) - 77%
RAM: Unknown 1x8GB - 31.4%
MBD: Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2
On "Can You Run It" it says I can run Bannerlord on minimum requirements but for recommended it says I should upgrade my GPU to an AMD Ryzen 5 3600x and my CPU to an AMD Radeon RX 580, however if I'm gonna spend money I want to overshoot a little and make sure my setup will last a couple years.
Through a decent amount of research it sounds like I want to upgrade my GPU to an AMD Ryzen 5 5600x and my CPU to an AMD RX 5600 XT, which will give me more than I need to play my games. Each of those is roughly $300 and I would like to stay in that range.
What I want to know from you fine folks is if those two upgrades alone would see me through or if there is something else I should be looking to buy to make sure they work for me. Honestly I don't know much about components even though I've been playing PC games for a long time. I won't be offended if you dumb things down to a 3rd grade level. Sorry if this is in a god awful format. Cheers!
