And most likely a better power supply? It would be more helpful if you posted your complete list of specs. The CPU is good for gaming but we don't know a budget or what you actually have with that post.

Yeah, get a better graphics card, like a GTX 750Ti.

It is a good system, it really is but I think you might need to upgrade your power supply so you can get a better graphics card.

However, you can try this GPU without upgrading your power supply:

should I get a better powersource too? an if so which one?
max I'm trying to spend to upgrade is 350$

 

[turkey3_scratch]

It has a 350W power supply. Whilst we haven't a clue about what it actually is, a GTX 950 even uses under 100W, and combined with the system this system wouldn't go past 250W of power draw.

I would lower your budget to about $200 and get a GTX 950 and a new PSU.

 

[Drok676]

ok that's great man any idea which psu I should go with ?

appericate it dude wasn't sure what to do sometimes this pc would run fine no problems then others the latency is over 9000 lmao

 

[RCFProd]

That's your internet connection going mad, not your system.

Make sure to use a wired connection in gaming.

 

[Drok676]

lmao that must be the problem I have it wireless an my xbox one plugged directly in guess I'm gonna have to find space for a pc in my room

These work great for extending our internet through out your home. Homeplug uses your home electrical to extend your wired line internet network. These work great and provide much better pings than wifi for online gaming. Plus for around $30 its a steal

I use a few of these in my home to hook up a ps4/xbox one and extend my HTPC DVR. Just make sure you go for the AV500 modes like the link above vs the 200. They easily max out my internet speed of 75 on all connections. I have 4 of them and they perform more reliable than my wifi AC router when it comes to gaming
