my specs:
amd radeon r7 250 2gb vram clocked at 1050mhz

intel core i5 4670k clocked @3.4GHz

8gb ddr3 ram

motherboard: MSI H81M-E33 LGA 1150 Intel H81 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

power supply: 350 watt by sparkles

im hoping to upgrade to a 1060 because im on a very tight budget so please let me know what i should upgrade for around $180 (since thats what i have)

thanks :)




UPDATE: Hey guys! i took your advice and got a 1060 and a 750watt psu, a beefy cpu cooler for overclocking, a new motherboard, and some more ram.

most games are running amazing so thanks alot!

A 1060 would be a good choice, I would also try and find a z87 motherboard at some point so you didnt waste your money with the 4670k (can't oc it with that board)

i dont get nearly as much fps as people with the same spec computer are getting. im kinda confused because i get 10-25 fps lower than the other r7 250's.

do you want me to do some benchmarks?
