I dont know waht to upgrade ~ graphic card , ram , or cpu maybe ?
im thinking about a gtx 970 or gtx 980 ~~ any advice would really help .

your GPU is the weakest part of your system.

need to know your power supply.

Gpu upgrade is best, will depend on you power supply, include the exact model and wattage or just give us a link
Assuming your psu can handle it, a gtx 970 would be great for that build

Also do you have an aftermarket cooler on your cpu? you can overclock it to get mroe performance

a gtx 970 is a good choice, your cpu however is bad for this



total war games mostly only run on one core, they tend to run very badly on amd cpus

Ahh yea just like minecraft 😛 dumb games that only use 1 core lol

My power supply 750w - corsair

Do i need a cpu upgrade ? I have Amd fx-8320 . my Cpu fan is a stardard that came with the cpu of amd
should i buy another cpu fan ? to overclock that bad boy ~~ ?

Do i need Ram upgrade , i mean is 8 gb sufficient ?

 

[DustinV]

Ok your power supply is good.

If you want to get a bit more performance get an aftermarket cooler, but if recommend getting away from amd now if you can afford the upgrade to an Intel i5 cpu and new motherboard

 

[Apheanst]

AMD looks cheap and sounds like i had great peformance ~ thats why i bought it .
A new mobo and CPU ? The same i5 as yours ?

 

[DustinV]

If you want to save some money and not overclock you can get an i5-4460 and an h85 or b85 motherboard

If you want more performance and can afford it then yes, i5-4690k, z97 motherboard, and an aftermarket cooler like Cryorig H7

And yes, you think, WOAH? 8 core cpu for $150?! Why would I pay $200 for a 4 core from Intel
