Hello! I DIY'd a PC about 10 years ago and over the years have upgraded it several times RAM, GPU, power supply, etc. but I am at a place now where many of the newer games, even MMO's i want to play are 100% pegging the CPU (with very low fps) and I suspect the GPU is bottled necked. So I am looking for advice on the next steps. I'd be okay spending $1500 bucks or so but would like to keep costs as low as possible. I am willing to build a new PC and maybe part out the old one/sell off the components or upgrade it or whatever other thoughts of collective wisdom this forum may bring me Really just looking if there is a feasible upgrade path or given the age and specs is it simply more cost effective to rebuild or buy a prebuilt. Thanks in advance.
