Greetings ladies and gentleman,

Thanks to the government in my country, i have a lot of extra money due to student loans. And now i'm looking to spend it on components for my PC.

Let me first list of my current specs:
CPU: Amd fx-4100 3.6Ghz (overclocked to 4.0GHz)
Ram: 4,00 GB DDR3 ram (gskill i believe?)
Motherboard: MSI 760-P23(FX)
GPU: Asus GeForce GTX 750TI
And a 750Watt PSU

Because i have been having issues with my motherboard not displaying temps right because it absolute garbage for using to overclock. I am thinking of upgrading my Motherboard, CPU and Ram.

I still have a asus rog vII hero lying around, so i'll probably use that. For CPU i was thinking of buying a Core i5 6600. And i'm still looking for ram. (might also buy a watercooler for CPU dunno yet)

Now my question is: would this impact my PC's performance? I've been trying to play assassin's creed: Unity, but my FPS is just bad. I know my GPU is currently bottlenecking, and it was even worse before i overclocked so this seems in my book the best course of action. Thoughts?

I chuckled at that first paragraph.

AC: Unity is very demanding on the GPU and scales well for multiple threads, but it's still, apparently, an unoptimised mess, even after patches. Now that AC: Syndicate is out, you can bet your bottom dollar that Ubisoft won't give Unity any more attention.

You'll see the biggest gains by upgrading your GPU, no doubt about it. If the ASUS motherboard uses the LGA1150 socket, then an i5 4690K should be next on the list. Finally, buy another 4GB of RAM and you're good to go.

What make and model is the PSU? You need a good quality one before you consider overclocking.

thanks for replying!

My psu is made by some random company called: "inter-tech". and it's called "combat power" it think that says about enough about the quality of the unit. but my cpu has been overclocked for about a year now, so i think that should be fine.

And the i5 4690 isn't overclockable is it? cause the mobo does have a LGA 1150 socket, and it's amazing for overclocking.and that's kinda what i wanted to do.

okay so:
upgrade GPU
Get a 4690K in combination with the mobo
Get an extra 4gb ram
and a better PSU if possible

so pretty much upgrade everything :D

Thanks anyway!
