Hi,

So I am new to gaming on computers and know nothing about what I should upgrade. To be honest I am only looking to run games smoothly at 60 fps. I just need help knowing what parts to upgrade and which ones to keep to run games like Gmod, Minecraft, Counter Strike Global Offence, H1Z1, Arma 3, and ect.

If possible can you recommend so good parts even if it means getting rid of something. I just am looking for the best performance at an reasonable price. If you can maybe list like a medium and high price for the part to replace I would really appreciate it. Maybe even try getting some black fridays sales please.

If anything else is needed just ask me. Thanks for the help

I asked about this a couple of days ago and got one answer. I was wondering if anyone thought anything different and if they could explain in a little more depth.

For upgrade, i'd go for these parts.

Few words.

Picked a solid medium-end CPU for gaming.
Added a great performing SSD for OS to reduce boot up and game loading times.
For gaming, went with the best performance to price ratio GPU there is.
And lastly, a great quality PSU with 80+ Gold efficiency and semi-modular design to ease it's installation.

With these parts, you can turn your PC to a solid medium-end gaming rig that will run today's games in 1080p just fine. For example, in CS:GO, you're looking solid 200+ FPS on Ultra settings @ 1080p.

the upgrade parts you have selected seem good. All I can recommend there is to go for the 6GB version of the 1060 over the 3GB as it is a decent upgrade for not much more.
