Hello everyone, my current specs are:
CPU: Intel Core i5-4570, 3.2ghz
RAM: Kingston 8gb RAM DDR3
Mother: Gigabyte GA-Z87M-D3H
And I am looking to get back into some games. I am primarily interested in strategy games, Total War: Warhammer 1&2 is the one I am most interested on. Other games like Starcraft II and Dawn of War III are also of interest. And probably some CS haha.
So I am looking to get a GPU. I will also need a new power supply (as I have a generic one, so was thinking Corsair TX550M) and I was thinking a 1060 6gb. I was also going to put another 4gig of RAM inside, as I had read it is generally best to double your RAM compared to your GPU.
However... I have realised I cannot overclock my CPU at all. I have also realised that these sort of strategy games are generally known to be CPU intensive. So I was wondering if I was overdoing it with the card. I could get a 1050ti for half the price.
Given I am only getting back into things, I am hesitant to spend a lot given I might not even end up playing a lot.
Any advice would be welcome.
EDIT: Haven't had any responses yet. If I have failed to give enough information please let me know.
