Hello and thanks in advance for your help.
Current specifications:
Amd a6-3500
As rock a75m motherboard with a pci express 2.0 slot.
4gb ddr3 ram
60gb SSD
2tb HD
300w power supply
It was originally built as an htpc with the possibility of upgrading one day. That day has come, I just bought civ 6 and looking to play at 60fps on medium settings. From reading other forums it seemed like adding a geforce gtx 750ti was a good option that would provide the ability for casual gaming. I would do that upgrade the ram to 8 GB and maybe get a new case and power supply. I'm planning to slowly upgrade more components over time but right now I have $200 to spend and wanting to upgrade at least the GPu and ram.
I was curious if it was worth purchasing the gtx 1050ti for only 30-40$ more. It seems like a better option in the long run but I know it would bottleneck my current setup significantly having such a slow processor and I'm not sure when the next upgrade opportunity I would have would be. I'd appreciate any thoughts or feedback. Let me know if I missed any important information.
