Could that cpu could bottleneck a 1050ti?

Can you just change the fan on a CPU cooler or do you need to change the cooler as well? My CPU is averaging between 95-104 degrees and I want to add a bigger fan to bring this down.

Wow, thanks man. I have a AMD A10-8750 atm which I think is good enough for mid range graphics card if I add another 8GB of ram

I'm in the UK, budget around £200/250 for GPU upgrade whilst I plan my first proper build. Will add more RAM and a new graphics cards processor is good for now

Thanks, any complications at all? Or just plug in switch GPU in AMDsoftware download drivers and go?

(Noob btw ) Can I use a normal graphics card with an APU? My pc is using an AMD A8 with integrated graphics and I want to upgrade to a proper graphics card, unsure if It can be done! Any help appreciated! Thanks

Very useful much appreciated

Brilliant thanks, I plan on using a Ryzen 5 with 16GB of ram 1/2TB HDD and anywhere from 120-500GB SSD. As I'm using Ryzen a faster ram would be beneficial for gaming from what you've said?

So if I run 144FPS on a 60Hz monitor i will still only actually get 60FPS but that 60FPS will be smoother than 60FPS on 60Hz? You said you can tell the difference between 144 and 300 I'm assuming thats FPS? What Hz is that on?

I think i'm going to look at some bench marking on youtube and decide if 4k is in budget. If not it will be 1440P 144Hz. There doesn't seem to be any clear indication of what each graphics card is capable of but i assume that's down to the mass of variables involved

Planning my first PC build and having issues figuring out what GPU ill need. One of the main issues i'm struggling to get my head around is monitor refresh rates. If i have a 60Hz monitor and play at solid 120FPS surely i will only be seeing 60FPS anyway? So if i spend £5000 on a graphics card that can give me 350FPS and i have a 1440P 144Hz monitor surely I will only see 144FPS. Worried about overkill, how do I prevent this? How can I calculate what FPS i'm likely to get with a specific graphics card, cpu and ram? Any help appreciated thanks!
