I currently have a 2010 Dell 580 Inspiron running Win 10 with an SSD as boot. The AMD 5450 1GB graphics card fitted won't allow me to play DCS A-10C as the latest version of DCS World lists a 2GB card as a minimum.
I am not a heavy gamer but would like to use DCS A10C more and maybe get Starwars Battlefronts. I do use Photoshop and Lightroom a lot.
I am planning to replace my computer at some stage this year, just don't know whether to do it now or replace the graphics card now.
I specced up the following build. Does this seem reasonable for my needs?
