Hello everyone, I want to know which components I should upgrade on my PC to achieve 1080p high settings in modern games (60 FPS+). My current parts are: i5 4590, GTX 660, 8GB DDR3 at 1600MHZ, and a 1TB HDD. Thanks.

MSI AB can provide details about the mentioned resources. The provided links display a screenshot of Far Cry 4 gameplay at 1080p. On AB's main screen, I navigated to Settings (gear), then selected monitoring. For each resource I wanted to track, I clicked Show In OSD and confirmed by clicking OK. I monitored CPU and GPU temperatures, load percentages, System RAM, VRAM usage on my GPU, and the GPU's core and memory clock.

What specifications are you considering for the GPU and RAM? You're thinking of a better GPU and 16GB of RAM. The PSU you have in mind is a GTX 1060 or RX 480 with 4Gb/8Gb bandwidth.

A better GPU and 16gb RAM would be ideal. What make and model PSU do you have? A GTX 1060 or RX 480 4Gb/8Gb would work perfectly.
I'm not entirely sure, but I think it should handle the GTX 1060 or RX 480. The GTX 660 requires more power than both of them.
I'm okay with 8gb of RAM, but do any games need more? I don't tend to multitask heavily.
