Hello,

I've built my rig almost a year ago. I just need to confirm if this rig is good or do I have to upgrade something. I've read some threads that Deepcool PSU's should be avoided. Also, I would like to verify if it's better if I will add another 8gb same exact RAM for another available slot. I only use this for gaming mostly for Dota2 & Overwatch and I would like to try new games like Far Cry Primal and etc. This rig including the monitor worth approximately $650 - $700 back then.This is my desktop:

CPU: i3-6100 Skylake
GPU: Zotac 750 Ti 2gb GDDR5 128-bit
MOBO: ASUS H110M-D
Memory: 8gb G Skill Ripjaws V DDr4 2400
HDD: TOSHIBA DT01ACA100 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5"
PSU: Deepcool DE-500
Monitor: ASUS VC239H Ultra-low Blue Light Monitor - 23" FHD (1920x1080), IPS, Flicker free

Thank you!

well starting with the monitor, it can do 1080p @60hz, some commentaries mention overclocking it to 70-72hz none the less this should reflect your video card abilities and to some extreme what will your next monitor be. it is all about budgets

in the pick I put out for you your parts have no prices on them, and the parts I suggest are listed with price provided by pcpartpicker.com
took in consideration of the Ram upgrade and the low end PSU (which has worked so far because of your low Wattage consumption) with a suggestion to a much better video card for all future needs for gaming.

So should I purchase different and better PSU for my rig or my current PSU would serve me just fine? And purchase another Memory with the same exact ram? Would purchasing new RAM will affect my rig for gaming, browsing and multi-tasking that much?
