Greetings from the Philippines!
Here's my rig:
MSI Z97 gaming 5
i7 4790
MSI GTX 1060 6gb
16GB 1866 RAM
I have at least a P25,000 pesos (give or take $500) budget to upgrade my rig. Now the question is, what upgrade will give me a better gaming experience (more FPS) outright, a cpu or a gpu upgrade?
Now with the budget that I have, I'm looking at either a ryzen 2700 + a good amd motherboard + 8gb or 16gb of RAM.
OR
An MSI rtx 2060 or 2060 super ventus OC. Or something along those lines in case said gpu is not in stock here in my area.
EDIT: Note that whatever I upgrade first, I will then deal with the other parts in the near future.
My main goal is to play rainbow six siege in a competitive setting, so that means none of the eye candy stuff, just a couple of settings cranked up so I can see the character models better, some FXAA, and thats it. And 144fps stable is a must.
I would also like to stream some of my games at a decent quality when I'm not practicing with my team.
I would like to note that I don't care much for all the extra bells and whistles like RGB, extra motherboard features, even ray tracing, I just like the new RTX cause of the new NVENC that I can utilize with it. Just a simple upgrade that can achieve the above stated objective without overspending would be great.
TLDR: CPU or GPU upgrade for COMPETITIVE RAINBOW SIX SIEGE 144HZ + STREAMING.
