Apr 17, 2020 7:43AM PDT

Hey i was thinking of upgrading my graphics card ( Radeon™ RX 550/550 series) its 1GB... i haven't changed it snice building my PC but I am more then happy not playing with max settings on games. it is struggling to get 30-60 FPS on games now so its time for a change! My whole PC is around 5-6 years old i'd say. These are the specs is there any point in changing the whole lot or should put the money just on a new graphics card... Your help is much apparated!

SPECS
AMD FX 8350 Eight Core Processor 4.0 GHz
16 GB of ram (Not sure about the DDR i think its 3)
Motherboard M5A78L-M/USB3
