[SOLVED] Upgrading my current PC.

[Sticky_1]

Looking to upgrade my PC, Huge lag spikes in games like Rust, DayZ, which are heavy rendering games, rendering in the map and new scenes walking around.
Specs:
i5-6400
GTX 750 TI
8gb Ram
400 PSU
1 TB HDD
60 GB SSD

I was looking and the RX 570 4gb OC is affordable, but would it fit with the wattage and would it help?
What upgrading process should I go in?

I would say it is time for a new GPU. What is the make and model of that power supply? Wattage means nothing if the quality is terrible.

Didn't originally build the PC so didnt buy the parts
Says "ATX 400W Switching Power Supply"
Model SL-F400
can put a photo of all the info if needed

Yes, that has to go. Not a quality PSU, at all.

Good to know , I have a PC next to me I havent used in years its worse than this PC but has a 430W Corsair Bronze Certified PSU , I tested it and all of the fans turned on but was prompted with error 99 when I tried turning it on, an error unrelated to the PSU as far as I looked up, If I switched that one in would I be fine or should I just get a new one ?

It's not a great PSU, but far better than what you have. I wouldn't use anything over a GTX 1050ti, with it, though.

Is that equivalent of the RX 570 4gb OC? (better or worse)
I could buy the graphics card right now but I don't want it to throttle or anything.

It's not quite as fast as a GTX 1050ti. The problem is the power draw. The CX430 is simply not that great of a PSU. I wouldn't use any graphics card, that requires external PCI-E connection, with that PSU. Especially since the age of it isn't stellar. A corsair CX550m would be a good budget solution, for a new PSU, though. It's a newer, and better, platform, internally.

What's an example of a card that requires external PCI-E connection?

The RX 570 requires it. Most gaming graphics cards do. The GTX 1050 ti is the fastest card that doesn't require it, unless the vendor added it in, for overclocking.
