Hi everyone - something I would appreciate help on please.
I have a general purpose Dell PC (specs below) which I bought quite a few years ago and I have gradually upgraded over the years with better RAM, SSD and GPU etc. It's been a great, solid, reliable PC for me. However...
More recently, I have started using it it for more 'serious' gaming (Apex Legends at the moment) and it's the first time I've really noticed it struggling. The settings are pretty much all on low/medium.
I would like to improve my setup to make it perform better and have a budget of around $250, maybe more. Eventually I will get a new Gaming PC but, for now, I just want the best upgrade I can for the money.
When I run UserBenchmark, all my components score in the region of 55-60% 'above average' but the GPU score is only 22% 'poor'. Here is my setup....
Is the GPU my best upgrade? If so, what's the best I could get for my motherboard? Any recommendations please?
Thank you.
