Why would you upgrade your PC ? its just a game/ you can already run xxx etc

[dgsddfgdfhgs]

I think this is one of the hardest question in pc industry and it often pops out ending up in severe fights..

how would you tackle these kind of questions?

Context would be the most important element here.

 

Depends if we're talking about a system with a 750 ti in it, for someone trying to run the biggest new AAA on anything more than 30 fps

or

if they're someone who's 5-10% lower than their performance goal

In my mindset, if my PC is struggling to run some games at high fps on max settings, I might look into upgrading the hardware in My PC that can actually help improve my performance. As of now I am looking to upgrade my CPU and get an aio cpu cooler. I need a new cpu to not have a gpu bottleneck and hold back my PC's performance. But what really matters is if you have a display to display the performance of your PC. No use in upgrading your PC unless your display can actually show the results. Example, Don't upgrade to a Ryzen 7 3700X if you have a 60HZ display.

Squeezing every last drop of FPS for those wins.

Perfect question as I just upgraded. 

 

I wanted an actual high quality monitor so I got the LG 34GK9501F only to realise after installing that my GTX 980 TI Golden Edition didn't support Freesync over G-Sync DP. So I was like, shit I got this magnificient monitor I got specificatlly for G-Sync so I just received today my new RX 5700 XT GPU, just a bit better than my old but I can finally use Freesync. 

 

TL:DR I had to Upgrade from 980 TI to RX 5700 XT for a compatibility technicality.
