Define "increased." You could get a better GPU like a GTX 1050 ti or 1060 and could stream/game pretty decently with NVENC as long as you have a good enough PSU to support a new GPU, but in all your system is pretty obsolete and any major upgrade is going to require you replacing pretty much the entire PC.

I would probably upgrade GPU to at lease 1050 ti but RAM that slow is a huge issue when gaming and especially streaming.

Does my motherboard and things support 1050 ti?

 

[greentractor202]

I will check. Give me a minute.

What games do you play? That makes a huge deciding factor on what to upgrade.

 

[greentractor202]

EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti SC Gaming, 4GB GDDR5, DX12 OSD Support (PXOC) Graphics Card 04G-P4-6253-KR https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MF7EQJZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_NkX3BbDHZTAFM

This card should play most AAA games at med-high settings. This is the card I use and it should fit in almost any case.

As for comparability there shouldn’t be any problems.

I play GTA V, Fortnite, BO3, and For Honor. I really want to play these on high 1080p and get 60 or more fps.

I will definitely buy it when I get the money. Thanks for suggesting!

A 1050ti will help but 8gb of single channel memory needs to be addressed. You really should run 2 sticks of the same memory to run dual channel.

Alright, thank a lot! I will buy another 8gb stick and put it in the other slot and run dual.

 

[greentractor202]

Upgrading to 1050 ti and some faster ram should cost around $250 Andy should be able to destroy the games you mentioned.

 

[greentractor202]

If upgrading to dual channel you need to make sure the ram is the same. You cannot just get a different stick. I would also look for 1333 megahertz maximum because that’s all your board can handle. Make sure it’s DDR3.

 

[chemmajorp53]

His RAM is 1600MHz, you can't run DDR3 at 800MHz without downclocking dude. DDR stands for "double data rate" and programs like CPU-Z will show half the actual speed. You can absolutely get a different stick, it's just not guaranteed to work, people do it all the time. His motherboard supports higher than 1600MHz, what are you talking about? Did you even look at the specs sheet?

You need to figure out what you're talking about before you give advice greentractor202, you're just making everything worse if you spread misinformation like this.

 

[zeketheman1960]

Could you maybe link me a stick of ram that would be most willingly to work?

 

[chemmajorp53]

Try to get the same stick of RAM as you already have, but if it's unreasonably priced then just get something similar in speed (another 8GB stick of 1600MHz DDR3). If it doesn't work, then just return it and try something else. If you're buying used, could be risky. Most of the time it will work, but sometimes it doesn't and might cause you a headache. That's why people usually get matching sticks of RAM that come in the same package, the manufacturer has put them through quality testing to make sure that they all work at the same rated speeds.

 

[zeketheman1960]

So would a gtx 1050 ti work in my system?

 

[mgallo848]

Yes it will work. I highly recommend running 2 of the same sticks of memory in stead of just 1 single stick. That will affect the performance.

Thanks for everyone's help!
