Question

How to Upgrade Game Performance

Jul 18, 2018 12:06PM PDT

So last year I built my very own computer. It was a budget computer that I wanted to get up and running. My PC specs are listed down below. If someone can let me know, with my current setup what would be the best component to upgrade to improve game performance. It plays most games well, however, some games, such as Battlefield 1 and far cry 5, keep dropping below 60 fps. If some one could help that would be great. Please reply if you need any more information

Tell about this ram.
One stick or two?.......what speed?

Gpu.
You could bump it up to a gtx 1050 ti but that's just a small bump and expensive.

Bump it up another notch to a gtx 1060.
