Hey guys,
This is my first post, but I have been lurking on this board for a while now. I would appreciate your advice on how best to upgrade my system. I am pretty new to all this and my build below was my first and basically chosen for me by a friend. I have had a look at some of the other threads but would appreciate your advice on where to spend my money and what to upgrade first.
Recently my gaming has tended to be on older titles I get in a Steam sale so my lower spec PC has coped fine. However, with all the great games coming out at the moment, I think I need to get ahead of the curve! I tend to play RPG/ open world games like the Elder Scrolls (modded to death) but have been known to dabble in FPS and other genres. I am looking to get Fallout 4 (+likely mod it) and suspect now is the time for an upgrade.
Below is my specs, let me know if I missed anything out.
I was thinking a budget of £300 but if it's worth spending more to get bang for my buck, I could be convinced!
thanks for your advice,
