For Christmas, I'm trying to improve my son's PC's FPS. I'm thinking of getting him a EVGA GeForce 960 4GB SSC but am clearly in over my head Will this improve his FP? On lowest settings he's getting the following:
GTA5 40-50
CSGO 120
Rust 35 with lagging and dropping
Fallout 4 35-40 with lagging and dropping
I'd appreciate component recommendations and the priority I should follow in the upgrade path.
His build:
intel Core i3-3220 Ivy Bridge Dual-Core 3.3 GHz
MSI B75MA-P45 LGA 1155 Intel B75 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
1 x CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
EVGA GeForce GTX 650 Ti DirectX 12 (feature level 11_0) 01G-P4-3650-KR 1GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0
CORSAIR CX series CX430 430W ATX12V v2.3 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply
I'd like to stay under $300, if possible, but will also consider a longer term plan if that's the best course.
Thanks in advance!
