Hi everyone,
I've been gaming since about 2011 and have played games like DoTA II and Skyrim. I've been able to get by on lower graphic settings, and still can with these games. I recently purchased The Witcher 3 and even on the lowest settings, my machine is chugging. I was wondering if anyone had input on what to upgrade on a standard cheap gaming build. I have listed my spec's below (Processor, GPU, etc)
Approximate Purchase Date: Before the end of October 2017
Budget Range: ~ $500 +/-, I'm willing to bend a little
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, watching videos
Are you buying a monitor: No (I have an Asus LCD monitor that was made in 2010. Still works well, but will likely upgrade someday to something nicer. Any input on this would be appreciated as well, given a $500 budget)
Parts to Upgrade: Currently I have: GPU = AMD Radeon HD 5570. MOBO = ASUS M4N68T-M-V2. PSU = ? Unsure, will have to open case and look, but it fairly new (got from a friend who bought it for his better machine - ended up not fitting in his case)
Do you need to buy OS: No - Running Windows 10
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: None - Originally bought desktop from NewEgg back in 2011.
Location: West Hartford, CT, United States (I'll likely buy from an online source)
Parts Preferences: No preference, just as long as it is compatible
Overclocking: Currently I don't OC.
SLI or Crossfire: I honestly have no idea
Your Monitor Resolution: 920x1080
Additional Comments: Just want to make sure everything is compatable and upgrades will lett me play games on High graphics settings (Ultra settings if within budget)
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Having trouble running The Witcher 3, and would like to play other games such as Skyrim on high graphics settings.
Thanks, again any input would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if you need any other information.
