Hi guys, i am currently running an outdated build by a few years
😛
. I was wondering if Overclocking my CPU GPU and RAM would make much of a difference to catch up with some of the high end games released in 2014-2015, as i know for sure 2016 high end games are a no go.
Here are my specs:
Processor Intel® Core™ i3-2120 CPU @ 3.30GHz
Video Card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti (1gb)
RAM 4.0 GB.
Thanks, Aaron

Hey, just to clarify, the link you shared talks about overclocking, but from what I understand, you believe an i3 2120 isn't suitable for that. So I'd suggest focusing on the GPU instead.
