Hi guys!
So i built a computer for gaming last summer and I didn't have much difficulty running the games i had at the time but now I've gotten The Witcher 3 and i understand its quite the taxing game but I'm getting like 20-30 fps whilst playing.
Current GPU: http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=01G-P4-3742-KR
Where my question lies is wether I would be better off sell this gpu and get a 750 ti instead or should i invest into more Ram (Currently 4 gb) or even an after market cooler for my fx-6300 and overclock it more?
Thanks for reading , open to any response :)

Practically all 3 of them, 8GB of RAM is a must for current games, so that should be the first step to take.

Your GT 740 is a low profile video card, and while getting a GTX 750 Ti will give you a noticeable boost I'd aim for a bigger video card, so if possible save enough for at least a R9 280 / GTX 960. That would be the 2nd priority.

Finally, once you get a bigger video card, your CPU might become the bottleneck, there's where you should get a nice aftermarket cooler to OC it as much as you can.

That's not exactly a gaming card. While the 750TI is a decent card, its fat from a high end card for gaming.

The GPU is what is really holding you back, and if you want to play the latest games you might want to admit it's going to take a bit more of an investment in a GPU.

What is your budget?

I would be perfectly content with medium graphics on modern games with a fair fps 30+ . I basically want to get the best bang for my buck , Quite a low budget I'd say I'm only willing to put maybe another 100 euro into the rig.

Ah okay thank you! I'll get the ram first thing so. Would overclocking the card for the moment give me much in the way of fps?
