[Finners]

What resolution do you play at and what power supply do you have? Budget as well?

 

[Doomedspeed]

Could you give us your case/PSU specs?

From the looks of it a GPU upgrade would do. Aswell as an over lock on your CPU, you'll need an aftermarket cooler though.

 

[seanyp88]

the case is an asgard pro if that helps the cpu has the standard intel fan on it and the psu is a tauro 600 w 80 plus

Do you get too little FPS in games or what? As Doomedspeed said a nice GPU upgrade would do, as well as possibly an aftermarket cooler to OC

 

[seanyp88]

Most games run fine 1080p but some newer titles are beginning to struggle so thought maybe just a gpu upgrade rather than a whole new system would suffice so wanted to know what would be a decent step up from mine in the 200-300 range
