i just bought DA GTX 970 but seems when i play dota still got around fps 50-70 with best graphic settings, sometimes go to 90. i think it should can get around 100 ++ fps

even when i try playing aion with high graphic its only got 15-25 fps.

this are my pc condition when im playing with the temperature.

Firstly, upgrade your RAM so you have a total of 8GB, 4GB isn't enough these days. If that doesn't help very much, you should get something like an i5 4460 and a matching socket 1150 motherboard. Your PSU is an unknown brand which could also cause issues, consider something like the EVGA G2 650w.
What are your CPU and GPU usages while playing?

You're probably looking at a new CPU and motherboard. You have an old LGA1156 board that doesn't give you any great upgrade options. You could upgrade to a Lynnfield i5 or i7 (Core i5 7xx or Core i7 8xx) but those chips are getting long in the tooth, and I can tell you from personal experience you would have to get a pretty heavy overclock on them to avoid bottlenecking a GTX 970.

How much money are you willing to spend? In addition to a new CPU and motherboard, you also should upgrade to at least 8GB of RAM. 4GB is below minimum for a lot of newer games, and you'll run into a lot of performance problems with only 4GB unless you're really good at trimming the fat out of Windows and other background processes to maximize what you can use.

if i change my MB to msi b150m + PSU corsair 650 watt cs650m + ram 2x4gb ddr4 + procesor i3 6100

will it help a lot? is this enough? can i get max performance for playing?

thx

It would be a big improvement over what you currently have, though you would probably be better off with an i5 with a higher end graphics card like a GTX 970.

i5 4460 or more higher?

Supernova1138 · Dec 4, 2015

The i5 4460 is fine, the rest of the i5s aren't really significantly faster aside from the overclockable models like the 4690k.
