Hellloooo, I've had this set up for 2 years and I want to upgrade for gaming purposes.
I've got a 144hz monitor and I find the 4gb 480 and i3 6100 combo doesn't give me the frames I want.
The MOBO restricts the Ram to 2333 just FYI. Plus the MOBO doesn't let me the overclock the CPU.
I'm tempted to get a new MOBO, new CPU, new RAM (3000mhz) and new GPU (Vega 64). Suggestions welcome? At first I thought I could just plonk a Vega64 in there but I figure the i3 6100 will then be bottlenecking it all. I'd love some advice. Plus, do you think JUST adding VEGA64 would be a good idea?
