Hi Guys, any help you can give me is very much appreciated!

Currently playing Dota, nba2k, witcher 3, but it would be nice to play a few of the current titles coming out without having to buy new build. Should I just upgrade my GPX card or just build new PC?


MOTHERBOARD: [CrossFireX/SLI] ASRock Z68 Extreme4 Gen3 Intel Z68 ATX Mainboard w/ Lucid Virtu, Intel SRT, UEFI & 7.1 THX TruStudio Audio, GbLAN, HDMI, USB3.0, SATA-III RAID, 3 Gen3 PCIe X16, 2 PCIe X1 & 2 PCI

MEMORY: 8GB (2GBx4) DDR3/1600MHz Dual Channel Memory Module Corsair

HDD: 1TB SATA-III 6.0Gb/s 32MB Cache 7200RPM HDD (Single Hard Drive)

CPU: Intel(R) Core™ i7-2600K 3.40 GHz 8M Intel Smart Cache LGA1155

POWERSUPPLY: 1,000 Watts - Raidmax RX-1000AE 80 Plus Gold Power Supply

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 1.2GB 16X PCIe

SOUND: HIGH DEFINITION ON-BOARD 7.1 AUDIO

Thank you for any feedback!

I think you might actually be fine on that CPU for now. To give you an idea of your CPU's performance, it's around 30% worse than the best gaming CPU out today (i7 6700k)

If you haven't already, I would overclock that sucker for some added performance. Most games will say "oh you need i7 3770" but I'm confident that an OC'd sandy bridge i7 will suffice.

I would hold off on upgrading RAM, I would just get a 16 GB kit whenever you change out the motherboard + CPU (which will come one day, but I'm thinking about between now and the next year or two)

I would definitely swap out that GPU. I would personally get an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060. Heck, a GTX 1050 Ti would beat the 570 but the 1060 will be better longer, have higher settings /...
