Good Day,

With the tax returns coming in i'm looking to upgrade my current PC which barely runs for my HTC Vive and i would like to know what minimal upgrades i can make to give it the biggest increase. I don't have an unlimited budget and i would like to upgrade maybe 1 or 2 parts while keeping the total cost of the upgrades under 250$ 

here is my current pc based off of the website UserBenchmarks


CPU: Intel Core i5-8400 
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1060-3GB 
SSD: WD Green 240GB (2018) 
SSD: Intel Optane+1.8TBHDD 
SSD: Samsung 840 Pro 128GB 
RAM: Adata DDR4 2400 2OZ 1x8GB 
MBD: Asus PRIME B360M
 

Any information would be greatly appreciated

better GPU will have the most impact (you could sell your current one to increase your upgrade budget, also wouldn't hurt to double up the RAM.

I would sell your 1060-3gb on Craigslist for about $70-100USD, and then I'd buy a 1070 instead, like this one.
