Hello everyone,
I need some advice on a good gpu upgrade for my custom built pc. I built it 2-3 years ago and wanted to update it to run newer games more efficiently. I have a
gigabyte ga-z77x-d3h mobo
I3 2100 3.10 ghz cpu
8 gb ddr3 RAM
800 watt power supply
Geforce 510 gpu
As you can see its a little outdated haha. I was looking to slowly upgrade it. I am a little behind the times with info on current GPUs and CPUs and what new games are demanding now. (have been doing more console gaming at the moment). I would like to keep my mobo but idk how outdated it is. Wanted to see if a nice graphics card would significantly increase gaming performance or is my cpu going to bottleneck with an upgraded graphics card?
I was thinking about getting the i7 3770k after upgrading the gpu when funds are available. Is this still a decent cpu or am I better off rebuilding the whole computer? I appreciate any help thank you!
Oh almost forgot I game at 1080p usually and am currently running win 10. Thanks again everyone.
