What improvements ought I to make?
I intend to purchase a new graphics card in the near future, but should I also update other components? What are some recommended configurations for a system like this?
CPU: Intel i5-4460
GPU: Nvidia GTX 960 2GB
MOTHERBOARD: GA-B85-HD3
MEMORY: Crucial DDR3-1600 8GB
STORAGE: SanDisk Z400s SSD 128GB
STORAGE: WD10EZEX HDD 1 TB
PSU: FSP350-60HHN(85)
CASE: Win MaNa 136 Mid Tower
Currently, your computer setup seems reasonably well-suited for a variety of games. If you regularly play specific titles, check to see if your central processing unit or graphics card is consistently operating at its maximum capacity. Prioritize upgrading the component that’s frequently reaching 100% utilization.
A replacement power supply is required to accommodate the latest graphics card. I plan to upgrade my processor too, potentially selecting an i7-4790 at a reduced cost. Alternatively, a new motherboard would be advantageous. To quickly improve my gaming performance, acquiring a GTX 1060 or RX 580—or a comparable model currently discounted—would be suitable.
My graphics card is typically operating at its maximum capacity, while my central processing unit is running around half its potential.
Uncertain about the financial constraints and unfamiliar with British prices, but:
Corsair TX-550M costs £70.
Gigabyte Aorus RX570 with 4GB of memory is priced at £146.
What’s your budget? If finances are unlimited, my recommendation is:
