I'm looking for affordable upgrades to run Warzone at 1080p. After checking options, my CPU maxes out around 2.4GHz, so I need to stay within a $500 budget. I’m open to swapping parts rather than rebuilding everything. The motherboard supports two RAM slots, so adding two 8GB sticks would be a big improvement. A GPU that doesn’t slow things down is important too. Any recommended brands or links would help?
For GPU options, a 1660 Super is the best choice. Upgrading your CPU to an i5 8600 or better could help, but it won’t make much difference if your CPU remains limited. A higher-end GPU might boost performance slightly, though you’ll still be constrained by the CPU’s capabilities. The 8600 model is currently around $170 used on eBay based on recent sales. For RAM, a 2x8GB configuration works fine; Intel CPUs don’t rely heavily on speed. Prices listed vary across sites, but overall it’s a reasonable range.
For optimal results without a CPU upgrade, consider focusing on compatible components within your $500 budget. Since you're in the US and want to avoid bottlenecks, prioritize parts that match your current setup while staying cost-effective. Let me know if you need more details!

You have two 4 GB RAM sticks for 2400 MHz, but only two slots on your motherboard. You're looking for an 8 GB RAM upgrade option that supports 2400 MHz speeds. There are various RAM types available, so it's important to check compatibility before deciding.
The decision to select the VENTUS XS version likely stems from its specific features and performance characteristics that align with your needs.
Considering your budget might stretch further, opting for the higher-quality options could be worthwhile rather than settling for lower ones. CPU performance shouldn’t limit your choice.
