I have an old computer than i want to upgrade / get a new computer all together but my budget is the limiting factor. My PC's specs are:
Intel Pentium E5300 Dual Core
4GB DDR3 RAM
Nvidia GT 210 1GB silent
240GB HDD
I want to play games at 720p or 1080p, i was looking to get a GTX 1050 to put in my computer but would it make much of a difference? Would my CPU bottleneck my computer and it not make much difference? I don't have the budget to get a new CPU at the moment because there aren't any CPUs that fit my socket and are much of a performance increase. If I were to get a new CPU I would also have to get a new motherboard, and if I were to go current generation, RAM also because my board supports DDR3 not DDR4. I would also have to get a new power supply because my PC is a pre-built and the PSU is preparatory. If this is to be the case then i would save up and buy the whole new PC.
