I have been going back and fourth on what I should choose to upgrade in my gaming PC. The current specs I'm working with I've listed below. I was first thinking on doing my CPU and graphics card. What would all of you recommend I do?
Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: this week (the closer the better)
Budget Range: 500-600 ideally but I am open to most things.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming PC looking to be able to play most games at ideally 60+ fps or realistically 144.
Are you buying a monitor: No.
Parts to Upgrade: CPU, graphics card, I will also be adding some more ram.
Do you need to buy OS: No
Please note that if you're using an OEM license of Windows, you will need a new one when buying a new motherboard.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Not really sure. I tend to go with the best options available
Location: I'm in WI
Parts Preferences: I would like to continue with intel, but would like to switch to Nvidia
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: Unsure. I wanted to switch graphics card will this need to be changed or??
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080 .144
Additional Comments: NA
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: I am having trouble with running some older games. And can hardly run new games that are releasing.
Updated ask for help Per Lutfij. Hope this better helps. Thanks everyone.
