Hello All,
I built this PC when the AMD 200 series first came out. I have not bought any additional parts. Basically I am looking to play the latest games. I purchased squad and I am forced to play it on low with 40 fps or less. The game spikes. Arma also lagged insanely hard when I first built the PC. I currently am scared to purchase new games because of this.
Current System
Graphics card: BIOS Part Number 113-1E27100-O48 (Sapphire R9 270X 2G)
Processor: CPU Type AMD FX(tm)-8320 Eight-Core Processor 3.5 GHZ
Motherboard: M5A99FX Pro R2.0
RAM: GSkill 2 x 4GB DDR3 1866
Power Supply: Rosewell 630 Watts
My monitor is a 2420Z 60HZ BenQ
I am not the most computer savy so I did not go in and overclock the CPU or GC
Basically Squad, Total war, and Arma don't look great. I am happy with playing at 1080 but would like to max out everything while playing online. I want it to be plug and play and not have to overclock.
Edit: Their really is no budget that I must stay under. I simply need to know what makes the most sense for me to do. I do not want to spend a fortune but I am willing to spend some money to upgrade the PC from 2013 parts to modern 2017 parts. I also am not trying to do anything fancy with 4k.
