[SOLVED] Any worthwhile upgrade?

[ABud]

I'm wondering if there's any upgrade possible to my PC which will add meaningful performance. I run iRacing (30-60fps) and FSX (all over the place lol). Current spec is:

Gigabyte P55A UD3 mobo
Intel i5-760 cpu @ 3Ghz
2x GTX 460 gpu SLi
8GB ram

Was wondering either about finding an old i7 cpu (will it fit LGA1156 socket) or something like a GTX 1050 ti (this won't help FSX much). Sadly can't afford a new build.

Geeze those are all old components, for a second I thought you mispelled the 760 when you meant 7600 but apparently not. Honestly upgrading the GPU will definitely boost fps more than a cpu upgrade most of the time, especially since you have sli which is rarely supported nowadays. So go that route first, alternatively, I recommend penny pinching as much as you can to upgrade your entire rig, you'd be surprised how easy it is to buy a substantially powerful rig for 1000-1500$

Most of the time. But in his case, I think he needs both a new cpu and gpu solution. The original i5 doesn't age so well.

What's your budget look like?

As cheap as possible, especially as the parts would have to be second hand. I might see if I can get £400 together and then buy a new CPU, Mobo & RAM. I'd have to stick with the GTX 460s for a while though - £600 is defo out of range. Maybe a Ryzen 5 setup? Would still be way better than my i5 PC even with the GPU bottleneck.
