Hi Guys,

I'm currently looking for recommendation to upgrade my old rig.
My old rig is as the following:

Processor: i5-750 @2.67GHz 2661Mhz
Mobo : Gigabyte P55A-UD3P
GPU : AMD Radeon HD5700series (I believe it was 5770)
RAM : 4GB (can't recall the brand, probably corsair)​

I'm thinking to upgrade my GPU card to GeForce GTX1060 (or similar class) and the RAM to 8GB.
However, I am not entirely sure if the mobo and processor need to be upgraded as well to accommodate these changes. I also want to keep my budget as low as possible, maybe around $500 mark.

I am a RTS fans, so my benchmark is to be able to play the latest TotalWar series in ultra setting.

Any recommendation is welcome guys.. Thank you!
 
Thanks for the recommendations guys! really appreciate it..
How can I find the mobo compatibility with gpu card that i want?
Another question, does having 2 GPU better than 1 GPU?
 
rule of thumb, also buy the most single expensive card you can afford ! if you can afford to buy the best and have money to stare- buy another hahaha (£1800)
I'm sorry, but I find this no help at all, no offence though..
I'm just looking for more serious answer that can help to explain my doubts and questions.. Thank you :)
 
Cheers, will get the BIOS update straight away. Is there any website or guidelines to find the compatibility between the BIOS and GPU? As you mentioned, I consider having GTX1060, but I don't want to burn that money and suddenly find out it is not compatible..
