Hello all!
To start off I would like to say that in no way shape or form am I a genius in custom pc building, in fact I am a complete newbie.
So recently, due to staying indoors a lot ( **** 2020), I’ve started to get back into gaming on my PC. I’ve had a ‘gaming’ pc custom built for me about 5 years ago and I am wondering if it’s worth upgrading or should I absolutely start from scratch and destroy my very depleted wallet even further.
This is my current setup:
1 Intel H110 / H170 Configurator (cyw8)
CONFIGURATION
CPU: Intel Core i5 6500
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper TX3i
RAM: 8GB Crucial 2133mhz DDR4 (2x4GB)
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce
GTX 970 4GB
Motherboard: Gigabyte H110M-S2H Included
Operating System: Windows 7
Hard Drive: 1TB S-ATAIII 6.0Gb/s
Optical Drive: 22x DVD±RW DL S-ATA
Case Fans: 2 x Aerocool Air Force 12CM
Blue LED Fan
Case: Corsair Carbide Spec-01
PSU: 550W Corsair VS
Internet: Wireless 802.11N 300Mbps MIMO
PCI-E card
I want to be able to play most of the current games at a stable frame rate, looking to get back into battle royale games. Ideally I would like to keep the spending below $500 if I’m upgrading my current rig.
Appreciate all your expertise!
