Hi,
I'd appreciate some advice on how to best upgrade my computer without spending a fortune. Basically I am trying to identify the bottleneck(s) of the current build and get rid of them.
I mainly use the PC for gaming and some rather sophisticated numerical and 3d modelling stuff, and so far it's been more than up to the task. With regards to gaming, I play new games (GTA V, Witcher 3, Elite Dangerous), so definitely the more demanding type when it comes to GPU requirements. I don't have to be able to max out all the graphics settings, which given my budget won't be possible anyway I guess, but I want to be able to play newer games with decent framerates without lowering graphics detail levels too much.
Here's my current build:
CPU: Intel Core i5-750 (2.66 GHz)
MoBo: Asus P7H55D-M EVO
RAM: 4x 2048 MB (G Skill F3-12800CL9-2GBRL, all memory slots occupied)
GPU: GeForce GTX 760 (2048 MB)
HDD: 1 x Samsung SSD 840 Pro (256 GB), 1 x Samsung SSD 840 (128 GB), 2 x Samsung HD103SJ (1000 GB)
OS: Windows 10
The whole thing was custom built a few years ago, but memory, GPU and harddrives were updated more recently. Any advice on what to upgrade would be highly appreciated! Cheers!
