I'd be grateful for some advice for the most cost effective upgrade for my desktop. It's several years since my last, up to this point I've played games pretty well enough for my purposes ( the likes of various Fallouts, Dishonoreds, Bioshocks, GTA V amongst others to give you some idea). I now fancy moving on to the likes of Outer Worlds and Red Dead Redemption 2 and although my system meets minimum specs for these I feel it's about time for an upgrade. Question is would simply changing up the graphics card be sufficient (and to what level) or should I be thinking of my cpu as well? I obviously don't want to be bottlenecked but I'm not sufficiently tech savvie to judge this. My system specs follow (taken using Speccy) any advice will be appreciated.
