Computer System Upgrade
Computer System Upgrade
My monitor is a Samsung Syncmaster B2330H/B2330HF (Analog), running at 60 Hertz.
My computer specifications are as follows:
Intel ® Core ™ i7-4790T CPU @2.70 GHZ, 2701 Mhz, 4 Crore(s) Logical Processor(s),
Microsoft Windows 10, HP Manufacturer, 64 bits, 8GB RAM.
Graphics include Intel HD Graphics 4600, with 2176MB total memory, 128MB dedicated video memory, and system memory at 2048 MB.
I wish to increase the CPU frequency to at least 3.5 to 4 GHz and upgrade the graphics to NVIDIA 980 or Nvidia GTX 1080/Ti.
My goal is to play Skyrim on high-ultra settings, with plenty of mods and good HD performance. I also want to consider using 4K textures.
How can I achieve this?
Prebuild details are available on the site.
Product: 180 W SFF Bronze internal power supply.
Monitor resolution should be 1080p, based on online descriptions.
Recommended graphics settings suggest a 920 x 1080 display.
I'm considering purchasing this graphics card.
Evga GeForce Gtx 1050 Ti Sc Gaming 4GB GDDR5 DX12 OSD Support Video Card is available for around $200.
My current graphics card is Intel integrated, making it uncertain if another can be installed.
My processor runs at 2.7 GHz; with turbo it reaches 3.9 GHz, but I’m unsure how to adjust that.
Assistance is required.
Your power supply unit is definitely too small. Could you open the case and provide a photo of the PSU and motherboard inside? Or let me know the shape of the PSU and whether it can be removed easily? I can take it out easily and see if there are any recommendations.
PSU is quite compact → a standard PSU won’t fit. Recommend purchasing a new case, GTX1060 6GB first, then build using other components.

I'm not sure if it's turned on in Bios, but how do you do that?
Currently, I'm trying to play 2k textures, Skyrim High-Ultra, with heavy mods and enb enabled. Is this enough?
When I have some free time, I'll share a picture of my PSU (which seems to be the main issue from your posts) and let you know about it.

Your CPU is still pretty good. Turbo boost will activate automatically when power is enough and your cpu is performing close to the edge as long as it is enabled in BIOS. Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks for trying to help me out as well, I appreciate it.
