Hi All
First time posting on here, but would really appreciate some advice. Built a gaming pc quite a few years ago now (around 2010/11ish) and understandably it's beginning to show its age. It's really struggling to play games such as Hitman even on the low settings (although I'm more of a strategy person, so not that bothered about graphics, as long as it plays). I have a budget of around £300 to try and upgrade it, I'm obviously planning to upgrade the graphics card, but would really appreciate some advice as to what else would boost the system speed. I've considered buying an SSD to install quite a few of the games on to improve access speed, or doubling my RAM, but not sure how much effect this is really likely to have,
Current system is:
Motherboard - ASUS M4A87TD EVO
Hard Drive - 1TB 3.5 inch 7200rpm SATA
RAM - 8GB DDR3
CPU - AMD Phenom II X6 1090T 3200Mhz 6 cores
Graphics Card - AMD ATI Radeon HD 5700 series 1GB RAM
OS - Windows 7 64
My suggested replacement graphics card is Sapphire AMD Radeon RX 480 8GB GDDR5 RAM PCI Express 256 Bit. Which takes off around £200 of the budget, leaving £100 to upgrade something else as required. Really appreciate any advice/thoughts you may have,
