Hello, I'm looking to upgrade my shitty pc to a "little" better pc, Im thinking these
These are my current specs:
i5 2320
amd hd7850 sapphire 1gb vram
8 gb ram (2x4)
fujitsu D2990-A1
500watt psu
500gb hdd

these will be my new specs:
i5 2500k
GTX 1060
8gb ram(2x4)
fujitsu D2990-A1
500w psu
500gb hdd
120gb ssd

Are these good upgrades?, WIll i finally be able to play ark without lag on medium/high? And is it worth it?
 
Solution
Yes, should be fine I would think for your settings. Seems like a good combo if the price is right. However, the CPU itself isn't all that much faster than your current since no overclock and 300Mhz difference. I would still consider the i7 myself. Not sure of your budget though. I'd update the UEFI to latest version before the swap to be of latest compatibility updates.
