Hi guys, so I'm having trouble deciding what to prioritize and buy first. A brand new gaming monitor ( Asus PG248Q / Acer Predator XB124H) or A Ryzen 5 build.
My Current setup:
CPU- Intel Core i3-530 ( OC'd to 3.8 Ghz)
MOBO - ECS H55-M
RAM - Kingston 1333Mhz 4gb
CPU Cooler - Cryorig H7 ( Bought last May to squeeze a little bit more performance from my i3)
GPU- Zotac GTX 1050 Ti OC 4gb ( Bought last January)
PSU- 430W low end thermaltake
OS: Windows 7 Pro
My Current Monitor: Samsung S20D300 ( OC'd to 77hz)
https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-19-5-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor-S20D300H/dp/B00IEZH0H4
I mostly play FPS and MMO/RPG such as Overwatch, Guild Wars 2, CS: GO, and the likes. Nothing too graphics intensive, but I would like to play current and upcoming games also.
I only have enough money for 1 upgrade for now. New pc or new monitor.
If I go with the monitor, I know I have to turn down settings a bit cause the i3 bottlenecks the 1050 ti,
If I go with the pc build, it will be another 6 - 8 months before I'll be able to buy a new monitor.
I was hoping for your opinions on this matter, cause I'm not made of cash lol and I want to be able to utilize the money I have right now the best possible way.
Although, I can run around 90-120 fps at 1600x900 77hz and Fast Sync Enabled. But I know that may suffer when I go up the 1080p route.
Thank you in advance for the reply
