I bought a used gaming computer a few years ago and I think it might be time for an upgrade and I could use some pointers. I'm new to the PC gaming world.
My current specs:
Motherboard: GigaByte GA-970a-D3
CPU: AMD Phenom ii x4 955
GPU: Nvidia Geforce GTX 560
SSD: Samsung 850 evo
I don't remember the brand of power supply off the top of my head. I can check and edit if necessary when home but it's a 550w.
My goal is to get the most beneficial upgrade for the money. (Im still a broke college kid)
I'm thinking about getting the FX-9590 CPU, and the GeForce 1050. I think they should both be compatable with my system but I wanted to get expert opinions to be sure.
Are these upgrades worth it? I'm trying to improve my fps and look/feel of games. New gen games currently feel choppy when I play them, even on low settings.
