Hi Guys,
I need your help, unfortunately I bought a PC from CyberPower PC about 4 years ago, and I didn't really do some research and just went for it.
And now my PC has been struggling to keep up with new games, it can play with no problem games like Civ 6 but when it comes to games like Planetside 2 or PUBG, it starts to struggle at very low settings.
I don't know much about PC components but I think I know the basics, I wanted to upgrade to some really good graphics ( but I just learnt that my motherboard is limiting me to very few options, and so far I can't seem to be able to find something that will be worth the investment if it will only last me one more year.
I'm willing to spend up to £1750 if this will last me 5+ years, I'm planning to upgrade my pc every 6 months maybe.
I was hoping maybe to keep some parts of my PC so I can invest more in parts that will benefit me in the future.
Maybe the cooling system, the case, the SSD drive and the fans ?
I can maybe try to sell the components separably.
