Need some advice please

[tomriddle95]

Hi All,

I dont know that much about PC's/Builds but I am looking to make my PC into a gaming PC to play warzone/coldwar/fortnite etc.

However I originally thought I needed an upgraded graphics card and that would fix my problems. When looking at graphics cards it looks like they all need more power to what I have in my current build. Would you say I should change more than just the card or look for maybe a 1650s or something that would run on a 400 PSU.

Any recommendations on my build below would be great and advise what they would upgrade to get a half decent gaming setup which is compatible?


CURRENT BUILD:
- INTEL CORE i7 6700
- RJV 16GB (2x8) 2400MHZ
- Production 22x writer black
- PNY Quadro K620 2GB GDDR3
- WIN 7Professional COA
- ******** Eclipse Mid Tower Case
- Gigabyte GA-H110M-S2H
- Seagate SSHD 500GB Hybrid
- Hard Drive 3.5" 3TB SATA
- Powerstation 400w NONE MODULAR

Got a feeling that psu is cheap 'actual' 360W generic type so best to replace with branded 500W.

IS it easy top swap the power supply? Could I do it myself?

I would just get a bigger psu to enable you to get a better card

The only problem is gpu's are in very short suply atm.

Yes its fairly easy to swap out psus. You just need to make sure you reconnect all the cables you tooks out.

I know you have a sshd but an upgrade to an actual ssd will still make things go faster.
