It probably doesn't come to a surprise to anyone who enjoys playing games or spends a bit of time around their computer but I've come to a point where I feel like my build is no longer satisfactory. I've been out of the game for a while and I'm not sure what the best way to improve is now. I don't believe I have to replace most things and I'm not exactly trying to spend a bunch of money. From what I understand about bottle-necking in regards to gaming is that it depends very much on the game, so I played a few games (PUBG, Starcraft 2 LOTV, Ghost Recon Wildlands) and it seemed that in every game my gpu was the slacking component (generally near 100% usage while the cpu was only at ~58%). In general I'm just trying to improve the quality of gaming for the best amount of money and the two solutions I have in mind are: 1. buy another gtx 960 and run sli, 2. buy a gtx 1070. I also noticed my task manager only acknowledges around 6 GB of ram while any other application which can detect ram will show 16GB. If you can help me figure out this mess in any way, thank you very much. If you have any other solutions please offer them as well, thanks.
