[SOLVED] Upgrading my gaming PC for gaming as well as light streaming.

[OwainHUNT]

Hey all,
Im new to the forum so sorry if this is in the wrong place.
Im looking to upgrade my PC so it allows me to run and handle slightly better games as well as doing some light twitch streaming,
my current specs are;

• Intel Core i5-8400 6 Core CPU
• NVIDIA GTX 1050 2GB GPU
• 16 GB Samsung DDR4 2666 MHz RAM
• MSI H310 Gaming Infinite Motherboard
• 350 W power supply (Without opening it up cant tell you the model)
• 2TB HDD

Im not looking to do a complete upgrade, looking for the best bang for buck upgrades I could do to gain that extra performance and I live in the UK,

Thanks!

SSD will improve your system a lot.

Agree on SSD, they are cheap now as well. It will make a world of difference in everything you do. After that, GPU. Which one will depend on your price point.

Thanks for you reply, what would I run on the SSD? Would that be the system?

Always install OS on the SSD. Everything you do will become 5 times snappier and that's not an exaggeration.

Great thanks! Ill look into doing this. In terms of upgrading the CPU or GPU, what would be an improvement?

On your system, the GPU. Consider a 1650 Super.
