I would get a GPU, gtx 970, if you can afford it then gtx 980ti + psu.

What do you need to Upgrade? And why?
If you're getting decent FPS, then don't upgrade.

SkillNye · Jan 28, 2016

The only thing(s) you should upgrade in this build, especially with a $500-$800 budget, is your GPU, Monitor and if you can, a new CPU.. Having a 50" TV is not the best thing to game on, mainly because the latency. Other than those things, you're pretty much set.

GPU - MSI R9 390: http:// $329
Monitor: http:// $149
CPU: http:// $259

I would go with a GTX 970 and an SSD. Use the 1TB as a 2nd drive. Everything else looks fine. 650w PS is sufficient.

right know i play some game at medium and other on high 30fs is what i got most off the time i am just looking to get better performance

Lodhi12 · Jan 28, 2016

Yeah, if you really want to game at high - Ultra settings, go for GPU... G1 GTX 970 or AMD equivalent...
Plus PSU to run it, and a decent monitor...
You don't need to change CPU and MOBO... only GPU, PSU and Monitor...

Lodhi12 · Jan 28, 2016

Oh, and get a 240 GB SSD, it'll boost everything up too

SkillNye · Jan 28, 2016

Lodhi12 :

Yes, and not a extremely good monitor, to where your GPU can't handle it. Probably 1080p for GTX 970 and maybe 1440p at most with R9 390. Both equivalent in price. Not the monitors, the GPUs.

Jose Santiago · Jan 28, 2016

is better to change to a monitor and not the tv

Lodhi12 · Jan 28, 2016

Monitors are definitely much better than TVs...
Like SkillNye said, a decent monitor... running @60 FPS, will blow away almost all TVs...

Jose Santiago · Jan 28, 2016

so a ssd new gpu and monitor is the way to go

Jose Santiago · Jan 28, 2016

is running 3 monitor is good

SkillNye · Jan 28, 2016

Jose Santiago :

Only if the GPU you're getting can handle 3 monitors. It also matters about what resolution those monitors are, and if you're running a game that is going to use all of the monitors, instead of just one. But if you get a 970 or 390, you'll be able to run all 3 monitors at 1080p no problem. Which is good, I wouldn't go with anything higher than 1 or 2 monitors though, you most likely won't use 3.

Jose Santiago · Jan 28, 2016

ok thank you all

Lodhi12 · Jan 28, 2016

I have never used anything more than 1 monitor... And if u get the GTX 970 (which i have, and it's AWESOME

) you can get upto 4 monitors running @1080p...
But, it needs a decent PSU, 550W+...

Jose Santiago · Jan 28, 2016

i play 1080p but i uses a tv as a monitor my tv is 120hz i dont play higher than 1080p i am still learning about gaming pc

SkillNye · Jan 28, 2016

Jose Santiago :

Well just get one 24" 1080p, 120Hz or 144Hz monitor, and you'll never go back to console or TV's (assuming that's where you come from).

Here is some good monitors to check out:
144Hz
144Hz

Lodhi12 · Jan 29, 2016

My LG Led is 20200Hz but i never game on it, cause the game looks much better on my Hp ZR2440w... So go for the suggested GGPU PSU and monitor. And you wont be disappointed bro

Jose Santiago · Jan 30, 2016

thanks i order 2 new monitor and a new gpu but going to change to intel in a few weeks
