[SOLVED] Looking for a PC Upgrade for around $400 - $500

[tim.seton11]

Hey Guys,
I am currently running on the follow specs:

Motherboard: MSI B350M PRO-VDH
CPU: Ryzen 3 1200
GPU: Radeon RX560 (2GB VRAM)
RAM: 8GB DDR4 2133gHz RAM
PSU: 500W PSU
SSD: Samsung 850 Evo 500GB
Monitor: Samsung 23.5 inch 60Hz Curved monitor

I am finding FPS to be around 40-50 fps while playing blops 4 and fps drops down to 30-40 fps in really intensive fights in fortnite but usually sticking to 60. While this is very playable as it is i am wanting to record and edit my gameplay in fortnite and LoL. I have been looking at upgrading my gpu to a 580 or 1060 but unsure if i should get more ram, upgrade PSU etc. All input will be regarded and helpful.

Cheers.

I'd upgrade GPU, CPU, RAM in that order. Your PSU is fine and 8GB of RAM is pretty standard for gaming, however you might want to look for higher speed if you're going with a Ryzen CPU, 3000+MHz

Going for the 580 is a very good choice if your psu is capable (single 12v rail). If there is several 12v rails and you don't want to upgrade the psu you'd better choose the 1060 since it draws less power.

Thank you for your reply, i am not too familiar with the terminlogy used for PSU's, this is the exact case and PSU i have, https://www.thermaltake.com.au/products-model.aspx?id=C_00003033 i am unsure of whether or not it has one or multiple 12v rails.

Cheers
