Hey all,
I purchased a gaming pc last year, knowing very little about components and what I was getting. It has a tuf gaming b360m-plus motherboard, i5-8400 cpu, 32gb of ram, a 500gb Samsung ssd, 1 TB hdd, and a gtx 1060 3GB gpu.
Originally it only had 8gb of ram and didn’t have the ssd. Those are the only two upgrades it has had.
I have been investigating GPU upgrades, but from what I’m reading it seems my CPU may be marginal with any substantial GPU upgrades. So, being that I’m not very “up to speed” on current pc components and such, I’d like to see what some of you who are certainly more knowledge than me would recommend.
I’d prefer to not have to get into switching motherboards and such, so, I suppose my question is, what would be a noticeable improvement in GPU and CPU for this system? Or is it a scenario where not much can be gained without replacing motherboard as well?
thanks for any input you can provide!
