Default Should I Upgrade My PC?



I can play just about every game on max settings no lag about 80 FPS.

If you think I should upgrade, tell me what part, and also give me a suggestion please,

Thanks.

Looks pretty good now, just keep it until something breaks.
If anything breaks, then replace the part(s) or get a whole new computer.

It looks good, but if you want to upgrade it, I'd upgrade RAM first.

I doubt you can play EVERY game on max settings with 80fps i mean my computer might struggle with that and i have this:

But i would save up for a new graphics card, maybe some more RAM and then eventually a new processor but my main target if i was you would to upgrade that graphics card.

I'm not lying. I can play most games. Haha. BF3 for example, I haven't tried on this PC yet, but I know I can run it on max settings. With probably 50 FPS, lol.

Anything below 60fps isn't classed as playable , and i'm 90% sure you can't run most games at max with that gpu that came out late 2008 and is only ddr3.

Upgrade the gpu and ram if you're happy with your cpu and mobo but if not just replace the whole unit you'll waste money and end up changing it all anyways,

I was guesstimating. I haven't actually tried it yet.

On Ultra? I really doubt it.
This is a GTX 570 on high:

Your graphics card is so so much lesser than mine. You would be lucky to get maybe 30 fps.

...I said I HAVEN'T tried BF3 on my PC yet, I was simply stating that I probably could, but it would play like crap.

Now, can we stop talking about BF3?

Thank you.

If you're comfortable with the way your system performs, there's really not much of a point in upgrading, although I really doubt you get 50 FPS on BF3 maxed out with those specs (core 2 duo, really?). I'll take your word for it though.

The bad part is, it's really hard to upgrade just one part. Unless you have a big power supply with a lot of unused wattage, you're most likely going to have to upgrade your PSU if you do a major upgrade (IE a major gfx card upgrade)

But I guess if you have a lot of extra money to throw around, I'd start with upgrading your cpu, then your graphics card, then your ram.
