Hi,

I’ve been off the gaming scene for quite some time and I never really had a strong understanding of the hardware I was using in the first place.

I played a lot of Total War Warhammer 3 and was always annoyed I could play it in 2k at a solid 60fps. I needed to be able to play it in 2k because I foolishly bought a 2k only monitor. Besides the point.

I’ve pasted my specs below and wondered if someone could give me some feedback on what they think I should do, upgrade my current rig or just sell it buy a new pre-build. I don’t really have the knowledge to build something myself so if I were to upgrade my current rig (which has been in storage for 2 years) I would presumably have to send it to someone.

I have a one terabyte SSD not a 250 GB like it says below but that is the only thing that has changed.
