Hi,
I was hoping for some advice on what to do with my computer to increase performance (details listed below) through modifying components, or changing settings, or both.
Current PC:
CPU: i5 6500 3.2GHz
CPU Fan: Stock Intel
Motherboard: AsRock Z170 Pro4
Memory: 16GB Crucial Ballistix Sport DDR4 2400
GPU: Zotac 1050Ti Mini
SSD: Kingston SV300 120GB
HDD: WD 1TB Blue + WD 2TB Blue
PSU: Corsair CX500
Fans: 3 120mm, 1 front, 2 rear
1. Budget: Additional spend no more than £500 (GBP) Location: UK
2. Aim
Primarily I'd like to improve game performance, particularly in games like Siege (this is my main game), to run at 144FPS+ at Very high settings
3. Monitors
I'll only use one monitor, with the intention of getting PC performance to justify 144Hz
4. Peripherals
None needed
5. Why are you upgrading?
Well it's a combination of upgrading and modifying I'd hope, I recently tried overclocking my CPU (using this guide), but temperatures reached too high. I'd like to improve my computer as it's been struggling recently with newer game titles. Also, I was thinking of perhaps adding some RGB strips in the future and was wondering how to ensure compatibility with that.
