Hi I'm pretty much a noob when it comes to computers anyway this is what I can tell you right now about my pc. I can give more details when I get home.
Recommended (targeting 60fps on Medium settings):
Operating system: Windows Vista/7/ 8/10 64-bit (latest Service Pack)
Processor: Intel Core i5 or AMD Phenom II X3, 2.8 GHz
Video: Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 or ATI Radeon HD 7950
Memory: 2 GB VRAM, 6 GB System RAM
Storage: 7200 RPM with 5 GB available HD space
What I have:
Dell optiplex 760 mt
Processor core2 quad q8400 2.66 ghz (socket lga775)
Graphics card: (just ordered an apparently lightly used one off amazon for $91
Evga Gtx 750ti sc
Memory ram 4GB (2 x 2gb) DDR2 + G.Skill rip jaws series 4GB (2 x 2gb) DDR3 SDRAM 1600
8gb total .. ( can I use 4GB DDR2 and 4GB DDR3? )
So how well will I be able to run overwatch? I am hoping for at least 60 fps on medium settings but if I can for s little more money get to medium-high with 60 fps I would be happy.
EVGA psu 430w
So with the information you see here what would you think is limiting me the most?
The graphics card I just got or my processor? If so what upgrade do you suggest for the best bang for my buck for performance. The most I'd want to spend would be like $50 so that $140 video card or $50 for a processor perhaps I can sell my current processor to make some $$ if that would help.
As you can see I'm on a budget. I rescued this pic from my father and I'm not much of a gamer anymore, but overwatch peaks my interest.
Thanks!
Edit: would it then be cost effective and a good way upgrade to help gaming performance by upgrading my motherboard so I could use DDR3 ram and still use my processor? So get a board with a 775 lga socket.
