Learn how to properly upgrade your gaming computer.
Hey everyone! I’d really appreciate your advice on my concerns.
I’ve enjoyed gaming, especially FPS titles, for quite some time. My main issue is finding a way to upgrade my PC efficiently while staying within my budget. While I understand buying a high-end machine with the best GPU would help, I’m not sure it’s the most practical solution. My requirements aren’t necessarily top-tier, and I’m not a tech expert, so I often feel uncertain about the best path for improving my setup.
Could you share your thoughts on what changes would make a noticeable difference in my current system for better gaming performance, particularly in shooting games like Hunt Showdown?
Looking forward to your insights!

Thank you for your time with this. It really means a lot!
What I understand you mean is:
- Do you require a new GPU? Are there notable differences between the Radeon RX 6700 XT and 6750 XT?
- If I choose one of these models, will I need to modify other components to maximize the benefits of the new card? (such as motherboard, power supply like Hydro PRO 500W, etc.)
I’m facing issues with frames per second surpassing 60, so I’m unsure if upgrading the monitor would add much value.
Appreciate your advice.
Adjust your in-game settings to low and off to display the highest possible FPS your processor can achieve. Try multiple games in this mode. If your FPS increases significantly, consider upgrading your power supply and graphics card first.
