Hello all,
I would like to upgrade my PC to be able to run high end games on ultra/high graphics. I have been playing Dragon Age Inquisition, however right now, my computer can't seem to handle more than "medium" settings.
Current PC set up:
-Motherboard: MSI 2AE0 (P0), Chipset Vendor AMD, Chipset Model A55/A60M/A88 FCH, Voltage +3.3V 3.312 V
-CPU: AMD A10-5700 APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics (4 CPUs), ~3.4GHz
-RAM: 12.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 798MHz
-GPU: 2048MB ATI AMD Radeon R7 200 Series
I don't know much about hardware, so I have been researching on the web, and reading these forums, trying to gather as much information as possible. I would like to have good frame rate, and run graphic heavy games on high settings.
Initially I thought I'd have to upgrade my CPU and RAM, as most recommend at least CPU 3.5 GHz speed and 16 GB RAM. However, then I read CPU isn't as important as graphic card (when it comes to gaming), so now I'm a little confused as to what to upgrade first. I bought my graphics card last year, so I wonder if it's worth upgrading it again so soon. I would appreciate any feedback/advice you can give me.
Thank you very much in advance!
