bought all that for around 500€ (don't take it as exact amount)
sorry if it is customary to provide links but i thought if someone wants some info about the parts they will know or do their research on their own sites.
the thing is that i use my PC mostly for gaming ...
but to have a steady frame-rate around 30 i have to play on low and even then it is stuttering with a game like Planetside2
only upgrade without buying parts would be to put my system on one drive but I've been too lazy to do it and i don't have storage to backup so I'll let it be for now
so now i think it's time for an upgrade, my budget is around 500€
and i thought that upgrading the videocard would be most beneficial for what i want
i searched around and i found a pretty nice card that fits my budget
Zotac GeForce 700 Series GTX 780 3GB AMP Edition i see it around 450€ in the stores
and i don't mind it being overclocked
but now i am afraid of the bottleneck cause everything that i bought was really low tier and my motherboard might not support the speeds that the card will demand
same goes to my PSU... will i have enough wattage?
also question arrises are there some better cards for the buck ...
any kind of feedback that will help this computer become better is welcome
thank you for reading.
