New to posting so I have followed the guide set out:
Approximate Purchase Date: This month
Budget Range: £250-300
System Usage from Most to Least important: Gaming
Are you buying a monitor: No
Parts to Upgrade: ( Not 100% Sure CPU/mobo/RAM) Corsair 750I is my power supply
Do you need to buy OS: No Unless I change motherboard?
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Not bothered as long as reliable
Location: Newcastle Country - United Kingdom
Parts Preferences: I’d prefer to just change CPU but if required would change to AMD and move to DDR4
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: No
Monitor res: 1920x1080
Additional Comments:
And Most Importantly, Why Are You upgrading: I’m more asking what I should upgrade in order to eliminate stuttering in games.
recently upgraded my gpu to the 1660 super and it’s great however I’ve noticed in forza horizon 4 I get the game capped 50fps at max settings however when entering a new area I get some brief stuttering.
I have limited PC knowledge but I believe this is a CPU bottle neck as I noticed the CPU load is 100% while playing, GPU is around 60% and RAM 80%. I understand I probably need more ram however would this fix the stuttering?
I’m looking into upgrading my CPU to a more powerful DDR3 compatible one, but would this keep me gaming in AAA’s for the next say 2 years? Or do I need to make the switch to DDR4 in order to remove stuttering and keep up with requirements of newer titles.
My current build is
ASRock z77 Pro3 Motherboard
i5-3570
MSI 1660 Super
Corsair 750I PSU
8GB DDR3
Any help much appreciated, thanks.
