Hello,

My Build is :
ASrock G41M-VS3
Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400 OC'ed at 2.9 Ghz
Ram 4GB DDR3 1600mhz
Gfx: Gigabyte Radeon HD 6970 2GB GDDR5
PSU: Coolmax 500W
HDD: WD 250GB 5400 RPM <--Its failing

Monitor Resolution : 1366x768


okay so my case is i heared i should be able to play all games on ultra with that card specially with my resolution,i cant play watch dogs at high,

My Benchmarks on certain games
Max Payne 3:
Min:35
Max:49

Bioshock Infinite:
Min :45
Max:70
Everything on Ultra with alternate on

Battlefield bad company 2:
Min:45
Max:60

Final Fantasy A Realm Reborn:

Min:15
Max:35-45

Watch Dogs:
Ultra
Min :4
Max:28
High:
Min:2
Max:37
it has sharp fps drops and i dont think its the graphics card

Also Im having around 300$ to upgrade my system what should i upgrade to benefit the most,i recently purchased the 6970 from a friend thus not welling to change it anytime soon within this year

What can i upgrade to get noticable gains in fps on watch dogs and in general i heared this graphics card is overkill on this resolution

i5 3570k, new motherboard, new ram, and a new video card. At least a R9 280/GTX760 for the video card, if you want high settings in watch dogs. So that's $200 gone already just for the video card. Then your looking at roughly another $400 for the other components. $600 total.

If you don't want to overclock, you may be able to shave $100 off that by buying a cheaper CPU model and motherboard. With these upgrades you may also need a new PSU. Coolmax aren't really known to be a good quality brand for PSUs. Look to a Seasonic/Corsair/XFX/Antec for a quality unit.

Well watch dogs loves a strong cpu, and video card to play at high settings and up so you would probably need more than a $300 budget. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. I guess you can try lower in game settings until you get more desirable performance, or you can start reseaching overclocking for you CPU and video card. Allthough I'm not sure how much difference it will make. Sorry. Check this out: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/watch-dogs-pc-performance,3833.html
