Hello,
I'd like some help/recommendations on upgrading my PC (for gaming mostly)
I have a HD 7750 and it was okay at the time that I bought it which was about 3 years ago.
It can run games up to 2012 fairly fine on high settings with my native resolution (1600x900), but anything newer can only run on low-med settings.
I'd like to play current gen games (Dishonored 2, DOOM (2016), Shadow Warrior 2 etc) with a smooth 60fps on high-ultra settings or at least on med-high at native resolution.
These are my current specs as of the time this is posted:
PC Part Picker: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/TheChromeDrone/saved/kQknTW
MOTHERBOARD: Asus P8H61-M LX3 R2.0
CPU: Intel Core i5-3470 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor
GPU: Asus Radeon HD 7750 1GB GDDR5 (10% OC'd)
RAM: Kingston 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1333 Memory
STORAGE: Western Digital WD5000AAKS 500GB
PSU: Corsair VS 550W ATX Power Supply
CASE: POWERLOGIC Azzura 3000 (407 (H) x 181 (W) x 430 (D) mm)
MONITOR: Samsung S20B300B 60Hz 20.0" Monitor (1600x900)
I'm on a tight budget which is around MYR1000($US240).
Based on the Mobo, PSU and CPU, is it possible for me to upgrade my GPU to either a SAPPHIRE NITRO+ Radeon RX 470 or a ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1060 3GB AMP! Edition? Is it worth the upgrade or is it only a slight improvement? Will my CPU bottleneck the GPU? Is my PSU enough to power them? Are they future proof?
Also will they fit my desktop case? If not maybe suggest some alternatives. This is my first time upgrading by myself as this PC was built by the store that I bought from.
