Hey,
So I recently started experimenting with computers. I've researched everything online and had help from some friends. But Im definitely an amateur in the computer world.
I've build a completely new computer from scratch, I bought all the components separately and assembled them on my own. But I want to improve the graphics card as it isn't powerful enough for a nice experience in games such as Assassin's Creed Black Flag + Unity, Far Cry 4, Skyrim etc. I've also been wanting to purchase Witcher 3, GTA 5 and Fallout 4 (Someday ).
The specs of the computer are:
CPU: Intel i3-4170 (dual-core) 3.7 ghz
Ram: 2x 4gb (8gb)
PSU: 650w
Motherboard: ASRock H81M-VG4 R2.0
Hard-disk: 750 Gb
Current GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6450 1gb
At first I thought I could just go right ahead and purchase a Sapphire DUAL-X Radeon R9 270X 4GB 256-Bit, for the best experience. But it is quite expensive and despite the good reviews, I've learned that some of those strong GPUs need stronger CPUs in order to function to fullest efficiency.
I've also heard that the VRAM on GPUs isn't at all the most important part. therefore I have to urgent questions:
1 - Can my CPU and PC run the Sapphire DUAL-X Radeon R9 270X 4GB 256-Bit, would it be worth it?
2 - What Graphics card could you recommend for my computer to experience a high quality of gaming with good FPS?
