Hello , well my pc is working quite good, i don't have much lag or something, but i start to notice that most of new games i can't run on higher settings, for example pubg (player uknown battlegrounds) . And i am interested in changing one or few components for better performance.. So maybe someone of you could give me any advice.. Soo this is my build right now:

Motherboard: B85M-D2V
Processor: Intel I5-4460 3.2Ghz
RAM: 2x4Gb
Graphics card: NVidia GeForce GTX750 - Dedicated video memory - 2048Mb
SSD: 112Gb and HDD: 1TB
Windows 10 64Bit
Screen resolution 1920x1080

Any opinions and ideas are appreciated!
 


I would recommend the going with the GTX 1060 (6 GB Vers)

More ram is always a good thing, 16 GB total total system memory.

Okay that's clear. Now i have few more questions about these cards.. So first quiestion - Does brand name like - MSI , ASUS, GIGABYTE make any difference? Becouse now i have had this gigabyte gtx750 for long time and it worked perfectly..
 


No, not really, they are all good quality cards and will perform the same.

Oh okay all clear, so i am going for that MSI OC 1050TI in that case. Thanks. One more question about these cards:
Let's say now i am looking at my GTX750 package and it says on it MINIMUM Intel i7 3.2Ghz cpu is required. Mine is i5 as you can see above in my first post.. So won't my i5 cpu slow down that 1050TI?
 


No, your i5 won't slow down the GTX 1050Ti.

You could go with a GTX 1070 and be fine.

Well that's not really a problem because i would by it from retailer who sells different brands, as far as i know they just take product and take care about warranty.. Most of times you just get same model , just brand new..
 
MSI, Asus, gigabyte - all reputable manufacturers mate.
Would not worry at all , the 1050 is such a low power requirement card there's really not a lot of stress put on components even under prolonged use.

That MSI card is as good as any other IMO.
