Budget (including currency): 300 - 400 €
Country: Germany
Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: 1080p FPS/RPG Gaming, (Battlefield V, Witcher III, ...)
I am currently looking into upgrading my system, mainly because i recently bought Battlefield V and my current setup seems to struggle a lot with it (constantly low fps). This upgrade has been a long time coming, as you can imagine by the somewhat "dusty" components of my build. The decision i am facing is whether to upgrade Mainboard+CPU+RAM or go for a new GPU. I suspect the CPU and RAM to be the bottleneck in this situation, since the components really are quite old, but before blindly making an investment that doesn't help much in the end, i just wanted to get some opinions on this.
Relevant Specs:
GPU: Nvidia Geforce GTX 970 Zotac
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955 @4 X 3.2 GHz
RAM: 2x4GB DDR3, 1333 MHz
MB: msi 870A-G54
PSU: 630 Watt Xilence Performance A Series Non-Modular 80+
For the CPU upgrade path i was thinking of something like this (~ 360 €):
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600X
MB: msi B450-A Pro MAX
RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-2666 DIMM CL16 (Dual Kit)
I haven't yet looked into suitable GPUs. I would really appreciate some advice on which way to go here, let me know if you have any further questions.
