[SOLVED] Help me upgrade my pc.

[kermit_125]

I have a pretty slow pc that I mainly use for playing Rust (average 45 fps) and want to want to expand my library of games but I don’t know if I have the specs to run certain games such as Squad. If someone can tell me what pc specs I need to upgrade and what I should upgrade to, it would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: I would also like to run the games I am currently playing at better frames too such as Rust, Valorant, Warzone, and R6.

Specs:
CPU: Intel Core I3-9100F
GPU: Radeon RX 570
MB: Gigabyte B365M DS3H
Ram: TEAMGROUP Elite Plus 16GB 2400MHz
SSD’s: Samsung 860 Evo Series 250GB, Samsung 860 Evo Series 500GB
PSU: Corsair CX 450M 80 Plus Bronze
Case: Cooler Master MasterBox Q300L

Budget: $200-$300
Region: USA

Your budget is pretty small. I would advise a CPU upgrade something 9th gen so it will work on your mother board I would aim for a higher clocked i5 like a 9600k (Can't oc it but it has a high boost clock) or a i7.

Should be able to pick these up used pretty cheap.

Unless you want to get a bigger psu your not going to be able to upgrade much.

Down load this.
UBM

Reboot and wait a few mins.
Run UBM with the browser closed.
Post a LINK to the results page.

Best is save the Money.

That $200-300 is not gonna get you any worthy upgrade to give to noticeable improvement if any.

Save it so that you can keep adding little by little to that turning it into a huge sum over a period of Year and Two and go for a New setup which will guarantee a substantial jump in performance.

Games are limited by something, usually cpu single thread performance, graphics card performance, of sometimes by cpu thread count.
Upgrading from 4 cores to 6 or 8 with 9600 or a 9700 might be a good idea.
Here is a list of the processors your motherboard supports:

First, try to verify that you are more cpu limited than graphics limited.
Run YOUR games, but lower your resolution and eye candy.
This makes the graphics card loaf a bit.
If your FPS increases, it indicates that your cpu is strong enough to drive a better graphics configuration.
If your FPS stays the same, you are likely more cpu limited.

Your psu is marginal to support a RX570:

Your budget might buy a used 9700K as well as a decent cooler.

But, you also could buy a current gen 8 thread I3-12100 processor that is slightly stronger for about $120.
No cooler required
A B660 DDR4 based motherboard is about $120.
And, you can reuse your ddr4 ram.
