Hey guys I am not sure I am in the right forum so if i am not i apologize. I posted this a day ago and did not get a response. I am going to try again. I may have not posted it properly
I am looking to upgrade my PC to be able to handle games like BF4 on higher settings. I also want to get a second monitor. I would like to spend under $500 on the upgrades. (not including the monitor) I do not know what my rig will handle when it comes to adding a graphics card or swapping out for a new one. I.E how it affects my power supply and CPU. What would be my best choice to ensure longevity for my PC and gaming experience. I am open to any and all suggestions. Thank you in advance
