Hello,
I'm trying to figure what is the best upgrade I can make for about £300 for gaming and 3D animation (Blender) on an ultrawide monitor. I've been going round in circles on this for days so think it's time to ask the pro's...
This is my current spec (bought second hand a few years ago, I put the NVME in recently):
Games I'm playing are Star Wars Jedi Survivor, Aliens Dark Descent and will be getting Space Marine 2. Since I bought the Ultrawide monitor, games have been struggling a little bit with the extra pixels and I've noticed frames dropping. It kills me to drop quality levels on games to compromise for an acceptable frame rate (60-80 is good enough for me), I don't need the fastest PC ever but I would like to see the games looking as good as I can get.
I'd really appreciate your advice on what you think what would give me the best upgrade, I'd prefer new, but content with second hand or to wait a few months if there are any big releases on the horizon.
Is £300ish likely to get a reasonable upgrade at the moment? I think I need to upgrade everything eventually, but where do I start?
Thanks
