So my friend has been asking me for help about upgrading his PC. For the moment he games on a Acer Predator G3620 with all the standard components that comes with it. And he told me he would like to be able to play Battlefield 1 and Overwatch on atleast High Settings.

So I've been thinking about this for some time and this is my idea for the moment:

  • * Buying a new cooler to the CPU & enabling Turbo so the CPU reaches 3.5Ghz
    * Switching out the GPU to a GTX 1060 6GB version
    * Buying 8GB of more RAM so he has 16GB total.

So my question leans more at if this is a viable solution? or is there something to improve in the upgrade in a better way without exceeding roughly 300$ - 325$? I don't really know his budget, but I do know he does not want to spend too much.

If this is good enough, what cooler do you think should I go for?


(If there is someone wondering, my friend does mostly play games similar to H1Z1 & CS:GO, and now want's to hop into BF1 and OW)
