  Cheers Strandy

so exactly how much AUD are we talking?

The answer, sadly, is not very far.  It’s pretty well balanced for what it is.  The problem is it’s going to become really slow over the next year for modern games I suspect.  It’s the core count.  If it was possible the correct solution is a whole new machine.  It sounds like that isn’t possible though.  Bandaids it is.
 

if it’s just one thing I’d do 16gb of memory.  A lot of stuff is bigger than 8gb now and 16 bf would allow you to have a background app.  Got no data on your memory though so pricing it is hard.

 

A 4770 used cpu would make you capable of a bigger video card.  They’re ~$80 on eBay it isn’t actually any faster but it gets you threads.  There’s a non zero chance this could push the life of your system by another 6 months. Possibly more.

 

with a 4770 you can push more frames so a bigger video card becomes possible.  A rx570 maybe?  They’re running about $120

 

all this together is maybe $250 though, and I’m not sure it’s worth doing.  The problem is the new consoles coming out sometime mid/late 2020.  They’ll own this thing hard.

Agh.  I did that in USD on US eBay.

Can upgrade the CPU like a Core i7 4790, an extra 8GB of ram, and a GPU GTX 1660.

i7 4790 is $130 on US ebay 3.4 vs 4.0ghz

im seeing this gigantic move to 1660s suddenly.  The 580 is about as quick, but it’s nearly $100 cheaper.  I’m wondering if there’s something I don’t know.  1660 make the PS5/Scarlett cut where the 580 won’t?

4770 is 4GHz?
Nvidia has NVENC which will benefit OP when he's streaming and gaming at the same time.

Ahhh.. streamers are getting them.  That would do it.

I misread your post as 4790 is $130 and it's 3.4GHz vs 4GHz on 4770, which of course don't sound right. GTX 1660 is the minimum for NVENC, there is a GTX 1660 Super, but it depends on the pricing in Australia.

The point about the 1660 may be valid specific to streaming.  The issue is how much it helps.

Considering the system age a new PSU makes sense.

 

i just saw a post from a person with that exact benq monitor who had dead pixels.  There is sometimes a certain amount of product return with benq monitors regarding this one.  Make sure you check it and take it back in the “free return” period if you get any.

 

All of this stuff could be used to make a new system.  You’d probably have to find about $300US to do it.

No need for case, monitor, and possibly psu. What you do need is a better CPU, more ram, and a video card.

His boards runs on the H110 chipset and that's LGA 1151 with DDR4.

which i know perfectly well, so why are you pointing out an LGA 1150 i7?

Yeah.  H series.  No overclocking.

Ah.  That’s my fault.  I saw a 4 at the beginning of the number  and thought 1150.  I also saw the extremely slow memory and also thought 1150.

My mistake, went along with OP's Pentium in the 4xxx series. Correct one would be Core i7 6700
