Upgrading An Old Computer

[Jack1418]

I have an old computer, it was built it 2012 and for what it is, it was very good in its time:
Intel i7-2600 3.40GHz
GeForce GTS 450
4tb of SATA
4gb of RAM
700W Power Supply
Asus P8P67-M
Cooler Master Storm Scout
Now i would like to know what i need to add to start gaming (newer games) and virtual reality if possible with this PC. I know i need a new graphics card and some more RAM, but how much more and what GPU do you guys recommend.

Thanks

I recomend at least 8 gb of ram and the old i7 is pretty powerful my question qhat is your budget for your gpu

Well im looking to spend somewhere between £100 and £200 if thats enough, and does it matter what ram i get as long as its ddr3 and how much are we looking at for that?

Thanks

i would recomend a gtx 1060 with that cpu. Very strong gpu for what cpu you got. and i would most definetly get at least 8gb of ram (preferably 16gb) and yeah the gpu will last you a pretty long while with great preformance.

Go with 8-16 GB of RAM, pick up a GTX 1060/1070, and you're good.

Replace the C:\ drive with a SSD for more speed.
