Hello there!
I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to PC hardware which is why I've decided to turn here for some advice.
I've been having some FPS issues playing Tera on my current setup:
Gigabyte GA-870A-UD3 AMD870 ATX AM3 DDR3 1PCI-E 2PCI RAID HD Sound GBLAN SATA3 USB3.0 Motherboard
AMD Phenom II X4 965
Radeon HD 5770
2x2GB Gskill ram
Seasonic M12II 520W EPS12V 20/24PIN ATX Power Supply
While I am solo leveling I usually have around a unplayable 20 FPS on lowest settings and every 8 seconds or so it will drop to 0 FPS for a couple of seconds.
So I'm looking to upgrade either the GPU or CPU with a budget of 300$. I currently cannot afford to revamp my whole system but I can afford a good CPU or GPU for now and maybe a couple months down the line I can get the other. I'm hoping to be able to play at a stable 60FPS without the sudden frame drops.
I've read that Tera is a pretty CPU intensive game and I was thinking of upgrading to a I5-3570K but without a GPU upgrade, would this give me at least playable FPS on lowest settings? Or would it be better to upgrade my GPU first and then CPU later.
Any help would be much appreciated!
