How should I improve this PC's performance

JoshuaEddolls · Dec 19, 2015

Hi, last year I was given this PC http://www.ukgamingcomputers.co.uk/morpheus-i5-custom-gaming-pc-p-167.html by a friend for practically nothing as he no longer used it. It's performance was fine as I didn't really play many large games however since the last two months I started playing other games such as Black ops 3 and battlefield. I am not very concerned about the graphics of the pc, more the performance and was wondering which parts I should upgrade to boost fps. I'm not wanting to spend anything over £350 if it is possible, and would appreciate it if someone could tell me some of the components I should upgrade.

GTX960 GPU would be good, GTX970 would be great, but you need to get a better power supply to run either of them for example EVGA supernova

Would I need gen 2 supernova like this onehttp://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/3049484.htm?CMPID=GS001&_$ja=cgid:12488287010%7Ctsid:59158%7Ccid:200223050%7Clid:98807067410%7Cnw:g%7Ccrid:66128552210%7Crnd:13809260633851486610%7Cdvc:t%7Cadp:1o1%7Cbku:1&gclid=CPKJ68yf6MkCFQoCwwodbV4KGA

You really don't need 750W even with an NVidia 970, but it won't hurt anything.
The EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2 is an excellent choice.

Since you already have an NVidia 950 I would definitely skip the 960 and go straight to the 970.

I meant this one

You don't actually need a lot more power, but Corsair CX power supplies are getting a reputation for not delivering as much power as they claim to, and for failing early if they are pushed hard

I personally have witnessed a Corsair CX fail early, and it was not be pushed hard.
