Need help for my upgrade!

[Franoc]

These are my current specs:

CPU Intel Core i5-4440 quad core @3.1ghz

MOBO ASUS B85M-G

RAM Kingston HyperX KHX1600C9D3B1/4G (1 x 4 GB | DIMM DDR3-1600) x2

GPU ASUS GTX 760 (GTX760-DC2OC-2GD5)

HDD Western Digital Blue 1000 GB (WD10EZEX)

PSU XFX Pro750w

CASE Gamemax 9527

I've been using this pc since mid 2014 and it's been great for gaming above 50fps in 1920 x 1080 resolution @60hz. The thing is i just want to get those 60fps locked most of the time at 1080p,maybe if i can stretch it a little bit i'll go for 1440p but nothing more.I play mostly,the witcher 2 and 3,gta v,fallout 4 and skyrim.

My doubts are:

¿GTX 1060 3gb/6gb or RX 480 4gb/8gb?

¿ Is it worth upgrading my cpu or should i stick with the fourth gen for a little longer ?

¿ Should i get more ram ?

¿ Should i really get an ssd to boot my OS and a couple of games ?

Thanks in advance!

So that 1060 6GB will be a nice breather for your computer. Your CPU is still good as well. I would recommend getting 8GB of RAM as most games require it now. Even then 16GB should be just fine. A SSD will improve faster load times, but not improve gameplay. If you put your OS on it, it will load quicker, and opena few software quicker, but that's it. However, it will mean you will have to re-isntall windows. Here is my recommendation.

Thanks!,yep i think i'll get the 6gb 1060,but the Rx 480 8gb is really growing on me,because i gotta admit that those extra 2gb are really tempting.
But i have another doubt,if i get those extra ram sticks @2133 wouldn't my mobo adjust them to work at 1600 as the others i have?

Yes it will defualt them to 1600 as that is the max your ASUS can use.

The 2 extra 8GB will probably not even be worth it ebcause most games will use 4.5GB, if that. Watch Dogs 2 on max settings used 4.2 with everything on high
