Locate bottleneck in system - Please help! :)

Skorben · Oct 31, 2015

Hello Experts!

Getting back into gaming the newest games, but I'm afraid my PC have a few bottlenecks. Can someone please help me locate them?

Current system:
ASRock Z68 Pro3 Gen3
Intel Core i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz
8GB DDR3 Ram
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti
Samsund SSD 840 EVO 250GB

I would like to play: Fallout 4, The Division and Star Wars Battlefront and the like.
I like to play at the high settings, since I am a bit of a sucker for good graphics.

If you have any suggestions to changes/alternatives in my system, taking my needs into consideration, please guide me.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Skorben

Cpu is fine, you can overclock it so, in the future, it will give a boost for the newer graphics cards.
Gpu is the main bottleneck I think, you could upgrade that one for better gaming experience(for newer games).
8gb of ram is just fine, wont need more for gaming at this moment.

For the gpu, you could upgrade to a 960 or 970, if your cpu is a bottleneck for the 970, you could buy an aftermarket heatsink to overclock your i5.

The ssd wont be a bottleneck

Thank you very much - exactly what I was looking for.
I have been looking at the 970 and it does seem like a good choice.

Have a nice day!
