monitor is Viore i think its 32 inch.. it runs max 1920x1080 if this helps in any way. i have it at this max currently to see if it makes a difference ingame.
Other details no need for peripherals i have a mouse and keyboard and headset I think that's it for peripherals,
(what you're upgrading from) if you meant Why are you upgrading? because my pc cant handle any new games and I run most games at LOW settings and still run at 30fps to 60 fps i want to know what 80+fps is, and my hobby for photography is pushing me to the pro side and need to edit them and be more professional.
