[SOLVED] PC upgrade

[FGN Reapers]

Hello everyone, I'm new here. I'm looking to increase my desktops potential so that I can carry on streaming my game play on twitch, I belive all I need to do is increase my RAM and maybe my graphics card, but I am unsure what graphics card to actually get with this desktop. I dont want to spend too much as I spent a fair bit on this so far.

The RAM that I am currently looking at is https://www.offtek.co.uk/intel/moth...WOoBc0TSBTDxuHKjFWPKNFTfJTgIjiSkaAgAFEALw_wcB I think that this will actually work with my current pc. Thanks for any help!

you need to cut down on that wall of text to the actual items. and for more help next time. we dont need every spec for every item. what i put here is roughly what is needed next time.

cpu: Intel Core i7 2700K

RAM: 3 sticks of DDR3 8gig ram at 655 in a dual channel system.

MOBO:Model DH67GD (CPU 1) Version AAG10206-210

GPU: AMD radeon R7 240 2gig 780MHz



my conclusion. im not sure the extra stick would help much. that is an old system. 8 years is a long run for a pc.

Ahh cheers for the heads up with that, i wasnt sure what information you would require at all to be honest. I only bought this second hand a couple of years back for about 400 I think. I doubt I would be able to afford a whole new system as im out of work on the sick thats why im just looking to upgrade this so that I can carry on using it for streaming!

the page you linked does not point to any particular item. just a list of low speed generic RAM.

...I'm looking to increase my desktops potential...

what exactly do you mean by this?
you want higher frame rates, you want to play at higher resolutions, you want to increase graphical settings?
and what games are you planning on playing and streaming? and when you say "streaming", you do mean broadcasting live and/or recorded gameplay?

i'm actually amazed you could pull off streaming any modern AAA game at a comfortable frame rate with any decent settings with the setup you have.
post a link for us of your "streaming" please. i'd like to see how it is going. actually seeing the video from your system as it is now, we may be able to provide you with some more specific advice.

but i would recommend starting on a new modern system with current generation hardware.
if your current system is at least in a nice looking case i would post it for sale online and hope someone without a clue wants to buy. then put that money towards building a decent system.

Hello there, the only thing I have that's recent is a clip from twitch https://www.twitch.tv/fgn_reapers/c...terJellyTime?filter=clips&range=all&sort=time

basically what my problem is that when I stream sometimes it becomes choppy/laggy I belive its to do with the lack of ram because when i check on task manager its running rather high or it could be a problem with the graphics card. I stream from my xbox to the xbox companion app which then goes to my stream labs then to twitch, which is the only way that I have been able to run it so far.

since the XBOX is actually handling the graphical and game data processing in-game, the video's lag would be hard to diagnose.
my guess would be that it is the lack of CPU power along with the lack of memory frequency that is causing the issue(s).
if you do not plan on upgrading the computer's base(chipset, CPU, etc...);
a higher frequency/greater size memory could possibly help. you would have to verify if your board supports 240-pin RAM, but i would recommend the
G.SKILL Sniper Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 Model [F3-2400C11D-16GSR]
