Hey, i know my way around a computer for the most part but hardware eludes me. Really i am just looking for suggestions on how to upgrade what i have to be better.

I stream live on twitch and some games are starting to be a bit too much for what i currently have and i would also like things to run a little smoother. maybe add the ability to add a third monitor?

I am unsure how to add what the spec of my PC is but i got it from this site a few years back. i think it was called a titan krypt if i am not mistaken?

I will go find out how to get that info and post back if anyone would be willing to help.

Also i have a modest budget too so probably no top of the line shizzle whizzle.

i have no idea if this is everything or not. Nobody know a better way to link my setup? Everything i have right now works fine and as for budget i will need to save and buy parts one by one so yeah...
 
I have no idea what you mean bu "use GPU-Z" i run the progrmam and pretty numbers and letters come up... am i supposed to do something?

i have an ATI Radeon HD 5570 if that helps?
 
really i just want to be able to stream the latest titles without framerate issues. They dont need to be on top GFX settings or anything. just a bit of a buffer to help with problems i am having.

Well i really cant afford to get them all at once so would have to buy them one by one then fit them when i have the lot?

The PSU is a Corsair CX600

If i have to replace that much would i not be better selling this rig and buying a newer one?

upgrade over replace debate?
 
i have a friend who is well versed in "building" PC's so will get him to give me a hand with it.

i guess i will have a look at the prices on the site so i have an idea of how much these things cost.

Thanks a lot for the help and i do apologize for my lack of knowledge :D
 
sorry to be a bother but if i am getting a new board and everything how will i know if it will fit my case?

and if i get stuff to go into it how do i know it fits?
