Upgrading am3+ build

[ceriumin]

Ok so I currently have the specs:

Ga 78lmt usb r2 mobo
Gt710
Fx4300
8GB Ram

And basically I bought this pc used from someone a few months ago but I realised that upgrading my setup will be a pain. I want to play games like Overwatch on medium-high settings 60fps and cs:go on high as well. I want to upgrade my gpu to a non ti GTX 1050 due to reducing bottleneck issues. My budget is 150£ and don't plan on buying a new mother board or cpu anytime soon so don't tell me to upgrade it. Is there an recommendations or if it will be possible to run overwatch and cs:go on medium-high? Will over clocking help or what else should i do to reduce a bottleneck? I have never experienced medium-end gaming and want to get into it.

no theres not, its a cpu bound game.

Well i have a ryzen 3 1200 and a 1050 non ti. Your cpu should work well with that gpu. The 1050 should be able to play 1080p overwatch very well. The 1050 can play anything i throw at it, including fortnite, tf2, and roe. The 1050 would be soooo much better than a gt710.

Never underestimate the power of an old Fx. They arent as bad as they are amounted to these days. Here is an fx 4100 and 1050 running overwatch in 1080p rather well. The cpu is pegged at 100%, but still able to run it well.https://youtu.be/MUwmkv0yBK8

Alright, thanks for your help. I will take that in mind!

An old fx 6300 with a heavy overclock will rival a Ryzen 3 1200 at stock in most games and benchmarks. Your 4100 when overclocked, although weaker than ryzen, will perform like a ryzen based athlon 200ge which is powerfull enough for most semi modern titles. An overclock will increase playability in titles it struggles in. With a newer gpu, you will have a good pairing.
