Hey, 

 

since I'm kind of out of the game I hoped you guys can help me.

My little brother wants to upgrade his PC for Christmas. He wishes to be able to play games like Witcher and other demanding games in 1080p, 60fps.

 

This is his current rig:

Budget is around 300€ (Germany) / 330 USD.

He also wants to upgrade to a 144Hz display early next year. That might be relevant.

It would also be great, if the upgrade lasts a few years.

 

I was thinking about upgrading the CPU (sone i5 that fits and has good clockspeeds) and the GPU.
Or should I switch to AMD?

Any suggestions?

€ is worth more than $ so with PCPartPicker you can probably spend 330$.

Anything i've written between the * and * is not meant to be taken seriously.

keep in mind that helping with problems is hard if you aren't specific and detailed.

i'm also not a professional, (yet) so make sure to personally verify important information as i could be wrong.

ohhh i misunderstood some of it then.

does that mean you have 300€ for pure upgrades and just swap the upgrades with the parts listed in the post?

Good ram for the processor (be sure to enable xmp/ D.O.C.P mode on bios

I Use my knowledge as business owner and self taught technician aswell as an AI to help people. AI might be controversial but it actually works pretty well 90% of the time.

Hello,

 

There are 19 countries using euros.

but the euro is worth the same in every country using it.
