[SOLVED] What parts should i change in my PC to improve my gaming performance?

[kokasrokaspokas]

Hello!

So recently I started to take interest into computers and their parts, so far I only know how to build/change parts of a PC, so i need help on figuring out what should I change into what. I want to increase my gaming performance and overall better experience. The specs bellow is what parts I have currently. I also have a budget around 200€. For comparison right now I get 40+ fps on GTA V on medium graphics. Thank you in advance.

Operating System
Windows 10 Enterprise 64-bit

PSU
Spire SP-ATX-ĮĮ0W-PFC

CPU
AMD Athlon X4 860K
Kaveri 28nm Technology

RAM
8,00GB Single-Channel DDR3 @ 798MHz (11-11-11-28)

Motherboard
MSI A68HM-P33 V2 (MS-7895) (P0)

Graphics
2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 (Gigabyte)

Get a dual channel ram kit that is spec'd to go to DDR3-2133MHz, overclock the processor and you forgot to mention the make and model of your PSU.

WIth all due respect, what sort of a target are you looking at? I think you're at the highest you can reach for 720p/1080p gaming. If you want anything more, you're looking at a platform change which is going to be more expensive than 200Euro's.

You didn't mention the games you want to play. Please don't mention an etc in that sentence.

Moved thread from Components to Systems.

Currently I'm getting 40+ FPS on GTA V on the medium settings and i'm just looking for something that would improve that, how much money do you think I need for new parts to get like 65 fps on Very high settings?

well considering the Grand Theft Auto V recommends the following hardware :

CPU: Intel Core i5 3470 @ 3.2GHz (4 CPUs) / AMD X8 FX-8350 @ 4GHz (8 CPUs)
RAM: 8 GB
OS: Windows 10 64 Bit, Windows 8.1 64 Bit, Windows 8 64 Bit, Windows 7 64 Bit Service Pack 1
VIDEO CARD: NVIDIA GTX 660 2GB / AMD HD 7870 2GB

I think your problem is your motherboard and CPU being too old. you should consider upgrading at least to an X8/i5-3xxx series and matching motherboard., why ? because your motherboard cannot be further upgraded beyond X4.

on ebay plenty of I5-3550 or AMD FX-8530 with motherboard bundles for less than150$
example: AMD FX 8350 CPU, Gigabyte Motherboard, CPU cooler, and 8GB Ram Combo

this one would be better i5-3550 motherboard and 16GB ram 145$
ASUS P8Z77-V WIFI MOTHERBOARD, CORE i5 3550 3.30 GHZ CPU & 16 GB DDR3 RAM BUNDLE
