[SOLVED] What CPU and GPU upgrades would be compatible with my motherboard while at the same time improving game FPS

[iPwNz]

Hello,

I'm usually getting 30-60 fps on games like Destiny 2 and Apex Legends while on all low settings and I'd like to at least hit 100-120 fps.

I'm new to upgrading pc parts and after searching I don't really understand what I need to upgrade, what I do know is that if I upgrade my motherboard, I basically have to upgrade everything else if it's not compatible, so I'm trying to avoid that by upgrading to something that can help while still keeping the same motherboard.

Here is what I have:

Motherboard- GIGABYTE GA-78LMT-USB3



GPU- AMD Radeon(TM) RX 560 Series



CPU- AMD FX (tm)- 6300 Six-Core Processor



I have 24gb of RAM

1 TB SSD

1 TB HDD

I'm not sure of my PSU, but I'guessingI'll have to buy a new one for the newer parts.



Any help would be appreciated



If I really have to get a new motherboard let me know

To be honest, it's all pretty outdated. Kinda pointless to spend money upgrading such old core spec. I'd save toward a new build.

I have to agree with Frag Maniac. There really isn't a reasonable upgrade path with your current motherboard. You really should be looking at a completely new build.

With your current motherboard and graphics card don't even bother. Instead, get a new motherboard and cpu and upgrade from there. Basically a completely new build.
