Hey, so I recently bought a new gaming pc, so I'm fairly new to this whole thing so don't judge me. I was just wondering what would be the FIRST thing to upgrade. And let me know WHAT I should buy to upgrade.
This is what I have:
CPU Type: Intel(R) Core(TM0 i5-6500 CPU @3.20 GHz
Graphics : AMD Radeon (TM) R7 370 Series
System Memory: 8GB
Memory Size: 2048 MB
Memory Type: GDDR5
Core Clock: 985 Mhz

Now I'm guessing that the first thing I should probably buy is an upgrade to my graphics card.

Also I play Arma 3, Rainbow Six Siege, Crysis, Counter Strike, Witcher 3 (all run well except I can only get medium graphics on R6) I usually play on 2k since that's what my monitor is, but if I have to downgrade to 1080p I do so.

this is also my model if anyone wants to see what can work with this : http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/cyberpowerpc-cyberpowerpc-gamer-xtreme-pc-black-red-intel-core-i5-6500-1tb-hdd-8gb-ram-amd-radeon-r7-370-eng-gxi800/10396107.aspx?path=5a208f980b34a18a1c6f1d432eb0ba85en02 (CyberPowerPC Gaming : GXI800)

Thanks

Might give consideration to returning the PC and building one yourself, can do better for less and if hesitant about building, it's easy and you prob know someone that could help. Think about it, you just got this and are already looking looking to upgrade the GPU, which will need a new PSU (CyberPower tends to use crap parts - which is why they don't say what PSU, or what DRAM, etc........

I have no need to buying a new pc, it was on sale for 900$ and i built it on that build a pc website and it came out to less expensive to just buy this, and i was willing to upgrade it down the line, it works very well, just looking for maybe later this year what i SHOULD upgrade first.

It has a rocksoul 600W PSU, obviously an off-brand. But it has a huge cord coming out of it leading to all the separate things (obviously a bundle of all the cords) so how would I go about unplugging that? looks like it goes inside of the gpu box/case
