System Upgrade: What would be the best bet to boost performance?

[nickelaos]

Hi there

I'm currently looking to improve performance of my system for gaming - I experience low frame rates on modern titles such as Battlefield 1, Battlefront 2 and Assassin's Creed Origins.

My setup is as follows:
ASRock Z97 Pro4 Intel Z97 Chipset Socket 1150
Intel i5 4690k 3.5-3.9ghz
16 GB DDR3 2400Mhz RAM
Gigabyte Geforce 970 GTX

Would making the jump to newer CPU platforms such as Ryzen increase performance more or would a new GPU be a better bet for performance?

Many thanks.

ryzen would be a sidegrade to you


if you are having low fps issues you have things to fix
your setup is good

Thanks for the feedback. I should've also mentioned that I'm running on some pretty old SATA harddrives as well (Cannibalised from a previous system) as a result of some surge damage last month.

Can you advise any benchmark tools for troubleshooting purposes?

Cheers
