What would you choose?
My pc has 8 gigs of ram, Intel Core i3-3220 at 3.30GHz
The motherboard is one from Afox, its cheap. what graphic card can i get?
Never had the idea to build a pc in the first place because I already had a gaming laptop. Due to recent GPU hype, I had to test it out on my laptop. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out well.
So in order for the GPU not to be a waste, I had a thought of building an entry or perhaps a mid gaming pc (which I already built this time).
Having a thought of a bottleneck, I am thinking now on which component to upgrade soon. The processor or a RAM gamble?
The components I had built this time (all used):
Ryzen 5 7600 (stock cooler)
MSI A620
Geil 16GB
RTX 3080Ti ex gamer OC
Cougar 750W
Main use is mainly for gaming and a little bit of office work because I do office work on my laptop.
I need to upgrade my pc for subnautica 2

I built this in 2018. It's now starting to feel old. If I upgrade what should I upgrade besides the graphics card?
I have a somewhat old PC (a 9th generation i3 with an RX 6500 XT). I've saved up a bit of money and I'm thinking of upgrading it, but I can only afford to change the processor and either the motherboard or the graphics card. What should I do? Depending on which one I upgrade, I'll upgrade the other later. Or maybe I should save up more and build a new PC from scratch? But the price of RAM is putting me off. I was thinking of changing the processor to an i3 14400f and getting a DDR4-compatible motherboard so I could reuse the RAM I already have. Is this worth doing?
hi so Ive had my pc for 4 years ,, i started with: gt 1030 and r5 3600 16gb 2800 and now i have a rx 5060 and r5 5600x 32 gb 3200,, initially i wanted to finally switch to am5 but with the insane ram prices i think I’d rather just upgrade my cpu for now
I play most games ( fortnite cyberpunk cs2 apex marvel rivals , etc ) with 1440p and honestly i think my 5600x is holding back so i wanted to go for a 5700x3d but those are impossible to find for good prices
So which cpu upgrade would u guys recommend that wont bottleneck my system? Or if u have any other recommendations let me know :))

And for the time, gaming has been a little bit limited, especially with triple A games. I would like to know if an upgrade in ram and ssd (to 1 or 2 tb) is possible
Thank you.

Sometimes, I encounter stuttering, rarely crashes. I'm thinking about upgrading Ram to 16 gb. Will it improve performance slightly? Or will it be significantly better?
Or should I just upgrade my SSD storage and play games compatible with my device?
Hi,
My PC is starting to show its age and my GTX 1660 Super is struggling in newer titles.
My plan is to upgrade only the graphics card for now (without changing the platform yet).
The original build was made on a tight budget, so there are some components I regret choosing, but I still love this PC a lot.
Current setup:
I mainly use the PC for gaming and light productivity.
What current GPU would you recommend that won’t be heavily bottlenecked by the i5-9400?
Is it still worth upgrading just the GPU, or should I start planning a full platform upgrade soon?
Recently I got the urge to play some racing games and I stumbled upon Forza Horizon 6.
Since my setup is a little bit older, especially the GPU, the game crashed multiple times.
I got the GPU from my brother a few years ago while building his PC. Since then I am out of the game and I'm not up to date what is good atm.
My current setup is:
GPU: EVGA Geforce GTX 1080 FTW2
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5600X
Ram: 32GB DDR4 (3200 Mhz)
Motherboard: MAG X570 Tomahawk WIFI
Storage: 2TB Samsung SSD 980 Pro
OS: Windows 11
Budget is €1000 max.
Location: The Netherlands
I am looking for something that I can use for a few years. I'm not someone who wants to play every game on ultra settings. I mostly stick to retro games or Indie games on steam. This game is more of an exception.
I already have the CPU, MOBO, RAM, storage, and GPU. I am simply revamping my current prebuilt PC to be fully custom so I can put in a better GPU. I will also buy fans as needed.

I want to know if it's possible to upgrade my 10 year old rig for a friend who's looking to stream games without too much issue.
I appreciate any help.
I have a b650 mb what has the 9800x3d, 32gb 6000mhz cl30, i have upgraded my gpu to the 5090 and wondering is there any point in upgrading and if so what she be next, as now im thinking more aesthetic look. Getting rid of the black mb for a white one and getting rgb cables to make it all look nice. Any advice would be appreciated.
This is my current pc build

I currently only play TacFPS and League of Legends. I am looking to upgrade my pc to support new titles such as Forza 6. I don't want to break the bank to upgrade unless needed.
Any help is appreciated.

Playing at 1080p. I have already decided to upgrade RAM and GPU.
For RAM I am going to replace my current stick and run a dual channel kit. I am deciding between 2x8 GB (16 GB total) or 2x16 GB (32 GB total). Is 32 GB overkill for gaming at 1080p or is it worth the extra cost for future proofing? What speed would you recommend for B460 which supports max 2933 MHz?
For GPU my PSU is 500W which may limit options. What is the best GPU I can realistically run on this PSU, and is it worth upgrading the PSU to open up better alternatives?
Any advice appreciated.
I only know enough to be dangerous. I have a pretty basic PC, Ryzen 5 5500 cpu, 32gb ddr4, rx580 gpu. I do sim racing, assetto corsa, F1 25, and Microsoft flight simulator. I think my PC is ok, but I wonder, what would I get with a better graphics card, or, whatever? Would the graphics be better, or would I ju get more fps? Or would I not gain anything, with what I use it for? At this time I'm over 60 fps on the games I play.
Hi
I want to improve the performance of my GTX1070 graphics card, but I know absolutely nothing about it. After Googling, I found overclocking, but it's not enough. I've heard of upscaling, but idk what it is or whether it will help increase FPS.
Sorry if there are any errors in the text.
i built the case out of cardboard
the motherboard cpu psu and *gpu *not installed* all came from a 20$ part bin
let me know your opinions

I upgraded the GPU in my PC a bit last year and now wanted to make another upgrade. Not a serious gamer but enjoy solid performance. Playing D4 some currently after the kids are asleep with some video and/or music streaming on the other monitor, but nothing hardcore. 1080p is fine for me. I'm not looking to start new, but just spend a few hundred dollars on a single upgrade or 2. I'm under the impression that upgrading my CPU is gonna be the best bang for my buck. Do you think that makes sense? If so, any suggestions for a chip that works with the rest of my system? Would RAM be helpful? Thanks in advance!
Here's what I'm working with:
ASUS Dual Radeon RX 6600 XT OC 8GB GDDR6 Graphics Card GPU
