Hello! I built a PC several years ago (2013ish?) and although it still runs fine, I'm getting to the point where I'm thinking about upgrading.
Specifically, I started playing Red Dead Redemption 2, and although the rig holds up fine, I'd like to be able to up the graphics a bit (or a lot - depending on what's possible and affordable).
Here's my current specs:
CPU: Intel Core i5 4460 3.20GHz
RAM: 24.0 GB DDR3
Mobo: ASRock H97 Anniversary
Graphics: NVidia GeForce GTX 960 2047MB
Storage: 1TB HDD Western Digital
Power Supply: Antec EarthWatts Green 450Watt 80+ Bronze Certified ATX
Budget: I'm hoping to spend around $300 CAD ($400ish US), but if there's an amazing upgrade someone can suggest that's above that, I'd like to hear it as well!
I would assume that the GPU is where I'd be upgrading, but perhaps also the CPU(?). I'm just hoping to get some suggestions on what might be reasonably affordable upgrades that won't cause any bottleneck or compatibility issues. I'm not hoping for ultra settings (but would be nice!) but I'm sitting at low/medium right now, and would really love to bump it up a notch or two.
Thanks in advance!
