What component to upgrade for better FPS on PUBG

[jase888]

Ive just got a second hand PC cheap for my friends coming over to game on PUBG Battlegrounds. It currently plays PUBG at an average of 45-50 fps and 35-40fps in towns with settings low/medium and is pretty playable but just to increase the FPS i wondered what I should upgrade. Heres the spec

MSI 970 Gaming Motherboard
AMD FX 8320 4GHz
8GB RAM DDR3 1333MHz
AMD Radeon 7870 2GB
128GB SSD
Corsair TX 550W
NZXT 440

Ive only got a budget of £100 ($140) and thinking one of the following will help probably option 1 or 2

1) Second hand GPU (Nvidia 1050Ti 4GB)
2) Faster and more RAM (16GB DDR3 1600)
3) CPU cooler & overclock CPU (Coolermaster 212 Evo)

The cpu is the problem. Upgrading that is way out of your budget. Also that board is barely able to hold itself togheter with an fx 8320 in it ocíng it will result in quick motherboard failiure.

>30fps is very good for your hardware

1) GPU won´t get you that of a performance boost

2) faster RAM would be at least 1866MHz, but wouldn´t get you more than 4fps in average

3) try overclocking the CPU a bit, the 7870 as well, won´t get you much fps but could be more overall stable FPS
but your motherboard is not that of a champion for that. Would try with the stock cooler without raising voltages first

Like said before, to get you more FPS, you need a new platform (motherboard, CPU, RAM DDR4, GPU)

best thing to do right now would be to set the details and graphics to ultra low

Yeah i was suprised how smooth it ran actually but thought a new GPU would improve it quite a bit but seems not after watching that vid, so cant compain at my performance im getting. However il maybe sell this on and use funds to start a build using second hand parts from ebay

Would this be any good:

MSI AMD B350M
Ryzen 5 1400
8GB DDR4
AMD RAdeon 7880
550W Corsair

Not looking for super high end fps just want to stop the fps dropping in towns as when it gets down to 35 its noticeable

edit: 7870 would be ok with PUBG

1300X
B350M
8GB (at least 2666MHz, the more MHz the better)

your power supply will do fine

Yeah if i do the new build id plan on keeping, Case, PSU, SSD & GPU with a plan to upgrade GPU later down the line. I've read PUBG is quite reliant on CPU so think thats the bottleneck for better fps in that game.
