Just wanted to know recommendations for what to get for my now outdated gaming PC.
Current build:
- AMD FX-6300
- Gigabyte AMD 970 Mobo
- 2x 4GB G-Skill Ripjaws RAM
- GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
- Corsair 650W PSU
- Arctic CPU Air cooler
System and most games are run off the 2TB Seagate HDD, while Battlefield 1 and Ark are on my Samsung 240GB SSD.
By this point, I know my CPU is outdated, and my RAM is just about there too, but I want suggestions.
I'm looking at the AMD Ryzen5 series for CPU, and wanted to know if I could get away with the 1500 or 1600 instead of the 1600X. Or if I would need something else.
Any particular RAM? I know I need to go up to 16GB and DDR-4 (I can't remember if mine's DDR-3 or -4), but would the cheapest available model (Kingston HyperX Fury 2x 8GB) be alright?
The main games I play are Battlefield, Ark: Survival Evolved, War Thunder, and then Fallout and Elder Scrolls games with mods.
Ark is lagging like crazy even on my current build (Playing on Single Player), even on SSD, and Battlefield 1 is often jittery, and I'm playing on lowest settings but I'm below minimum, and I want to get BFV when it's released.
