My Computer Specs:
CPU: Intel Core 4130T Dual-Core with Hyper Threading
Processor: 2.9GHz no turbo 3MB
GPU: GTX 860m 2gb GDDR5
Memory: 8gb DDR3L 1600mhz (single channel)
OS: Windows 10 64bit
(Its an Alienware Alpha so i cant upgrade the GPU)
I'm judging by the way my computer runs my current games that FO4 will run somewhere around 35 fps on medium ish settings, i might have to go lower.
I have around $300 saved up and im looking to upgrade my computer for Fallout 4, i was thinking at first about buying a better CPU but then i realized my monitor isn't that great, its like 7 years old,1080p 60hz. In the end though i would prefer to gain more FPS, but I'm not too sure how much frames i would gain by upgrading my CPU or buying a better monitor, I'm assuming buying a 120hz monitor will increase my frames due to not needing to have Vsync turned on, which i notice sometimes hits my performance, but i don't know too much about that, or what type of CPU is compatible with my computer and if upgrading a CPU will give me any boost in performance.
PS: I don't need any reviews on my computer or be told that its not good, i already know it's low end so telling me this wont help with my question above.
