My current Specs: XPS 8700, i5 - 4440, 8GB RAM
VideoCard: GeForce GT 635
Novice here, and I want to just bring my XPS up to date by say 2016 standards. I'm looking to upgrade to run games such as CIV6, Firewatch much more smoothly. I don't play online or graphic intensive games. Otherwise, i use my computer more for work.
Can I see a big jump in performance by just upgrading the video card to say a GeForce GTX 1050, and upgrading the RAM to 16GB? Or should I go ahead and upgrade to an i7?
