Consider upgrading your CPU for better performance.
Consider upgrading your CPU for better performance.
Those high settings and about 56 fps seem great for me, so I might go for it.
Looking to upgrade your setup, I need a solid CPU to pair with the Asrock B450M Pro4 motherboard. Something that handles games well, offers better performance than what you currently have, and fits your budget. Let me know if you want basic recommendations!
It hinges a great deal on your local market conditions. If you spot a solid offer, aim for a GTX 970 or 1060 based on what you discover. You might come across a 280x at a very low price, but overall it’s largely about chance. Imagine you purchase a 280x for $70 and a 970 for $80—then the 970 offers a better value. Conversely, if the 970 costs $150 locally while the 280x is only $50, you’re still on the right track. If you’re working with a B450 board, the situation remains similar. For instance, I’ve seen a used 2600 for €70 in my area—it’s still a solid CPU capable of running modern titles (6 cores, 12 threads). It’s a decent deal if you can manage it. However, if you need to tighten your budget, a Ryzen 3 1200 at €40 could work, though it’s only 4 cores with 4 threads and will likely feel like a step down compared to your current setup. Ultimately, the decision depends heavily on your location and how fortunate you are in the used market.
