Hey guys. I'm a little new here, although I have posted on here once before. I've had a decent mid-range PC for years now, however I'm looking to get into high end gaming. Would like to play modern titles on 4k Ultra settings with smooth frame rates. I'm very inexperienced when it comes
to high end PC gaming. So all the help would be highly appreciated. So anyway, here are my
specs:
Model: ASUS desktop PC CM1740
Processor: AMD A8-3800 APU with Radeon (tm) HD graphics 2.40GHz
Ram: 8.00 GB
System: 64-bit
So I've been researching a few things to buy and came across these upgrades:
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 960 02G-P4-2966-KR 2GB SSC GAMING w/ACX 2.0+, Whisper Silent Cooling Graphics Card
Power Supply: EVGA 600 B1 80+ BRONZE, 600W Continuous Power, 3 Year Warranty Power Supply 100-B1-0600-KR
And...
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler with 120 mm PWM Fan
Cooler Master MegaFlow 200 - Sleeve Bearing 200mm Silent Fan for Computer Cases (Black)
Now... I'm assuming I'll need a higher end CPU like a Core i7 right? Or is this not needed because of the higher end GPU card? Also, will the GTX 960 and power supply fit in the case?
Do I need more Ram to run for example: GTA V? Or would 8 GB be fine? Will the graphics card even work with the specs I have now? Would I be able to run it on Ultra just fine with smooth 40-60 fps, with help from the fans as well? Would I need a good cpu cooler to go along? Thanks.
