Hello all,

I bought and made my PC 3 years ago with a friend and I am now looking to upgrade. I admit I am not the best when it comes to this stuff. This is what my current PC has when I built it - http://i.imgur.com/z6FmClu.png. The only change to this, is that it now has 16GB of RAM rather than 8GB and an SSD.

I use the PC for gaming and want to be able to play titles like the Witcher 3 on high settings with a solid 60 FPS.

Which parts of my PC need replacing? Would it be ok to just buy a high end graphics card or will my processor not like it? No real budget.

no graphics card will perform witcher 3 on a stable 60 FPS on high settings unless you are looking at GeForce GTX 980 Ti or even GeForce Titan X 12GB.

GeForce GTX 960 2GB gets 47.3 average FPS on high settings.

The 980TI and Titan can run ultra settings on 1080p with 60+ FPS though, and people says Titan runs 4k settings at a playable rate too.

Bottomline is you need either a 2nd graphics card or upgrade to a more powerful one. And personally, I´d always swear by a single powerful graphic card rather than 2 less powerful in SLI/CrossFire, unless you´re using multiscreens.
