what can i upgrade in my dell inspiron without rebuilding the whole thing

[afranklin98]

My dell inspiron has a i3-2120, i put in a 750ti and a 500w power supply when i bought a new hdd, seagate barracuda 1tb. My main question is what can i upgrade in my pc without rebuilding the whole thing, i dont think a new processor is a option yet because i think they soldered in my i3 so i can't change it. Could i get a better graphics card? such as a 970 or something higher tier? would that bottleneck hard? games like h1z1 to get more frames? i dont know what to do

Unfortunately i can not find exact match on YouTube for your specs, so let see system requirements

H1Z1 System Requirements

Minimum Requirements :

OS: Win 7 x64
Processor: Intel Core i3 4130 vs AMD FX 6300 @3.5 GHz
Graphic: Radeon HD 6850 @1 GB Vram or GeForce GTX 275 @895 MB Vram
Memory: 4 GB Ram
HD Space: 20 GB available space
DirectX: 10

Recommended Requirements :

OS: Win 7 x64
Processor: Intel Core i5 4440 @3.1 Ghz or AMD Phenom II X4 940 @3.0 Ghz
Graphic: GeForce GTX 560 @1 GB vram or Amd Radeon HD 7850 @2 GB vram
Memory: 8 GB Ram
HD Space: 20 GB available space
DirectX: 10

With upgrade you are falling in between min and recommended, what it means, can not say yet.

This is grand theft auto v YouTube comparison of similar to yours setups, just to see a difference.

I don't believe some of this links, but will post here for reading

So, it would be beneficial to install the game and try it with GTX 750TI or with GTX 750 TI run http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/requirements/h1z1/12449/?p=r and see what it will tell you.

Precisely. Plus thermal paste as I advised above. Your PC might support stronger CPUs, but I did not see anyone stating this.... So, I guess no one tried, or posted...
