Which range is my "Gaming" Pc is ? Low? Medium? HIGH? (doubt that)

[FinishGamer86]

Title says it all... My PC: 

CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-2600 3.40GHz turbo boost 3.80GHz

RAM: 8GB DDR3 1333MHz 

GPU: Zotac Nvidia GeForce GTX 750ti 2GB

HDD X3 = 2X500GB, 1X160GB

SSD: 32GB KingFast

In my opinion my pc can be considered a bare medium pc .. but since I don't have to do anything , ill ask ... lol

 

 

[Jurrunio]

Low. If you put a low-mid range GPU in it (e.g. GTX 1660 Super) then it will be a average medium gaming PC.

[TheSLSAMG]

I'd personally consider it to be low-end based upon what is available today. A Ryzen 5 2400G paired with dual-channel 3200MHz RAM can play games about as well as your system while surpassing it in CPU performance.

very low

[RoseLuck462]

Low, even for 1080p.

[homeap5]

Mid 5 years ago. Low now. So all depends what games do you play.

[christian franca]

buy a 1070 and you will play all the AAA games without problems. and your pc will be like a top tier!!!!

[Mihle]

It's low end by today's standards.

[Boyohan]

Low

Your CPU is slow by todays standard but it does have hyperthreading 4c/8t which means it could perform better in modern games compared to a faster 4c/4t CPU. 

E.g. a modern i3 4c/4t is faster but you may experience a bit of occasional stuttering and FPS drops.

Your CPU is slower giving you less FPS but it should not give you any stuttering or FPS drops. 

 

Is there any category below "low" ?

That is were I would rate your GPU (no offence) 

 

If you are considering an upgrade I would recommend:

1. GPU, GTX1060 / RX570 or better.

2. SSD, 250gb or more so you can fit OS + 1-3 of your favorite games

 

What PSU do you have ?

imo, hyperthreaded quadcore i7 is more on the lowend side as most games these days demand a 6 core cpu for 1080p or higher gaming, nowadays i would consider i5 9400f or r5 3600 to be midrange.

3600 is high midrage i'd say not the mean

2600 or 2700x seems more midrange to me

[Automobili3XF]

Low tier, sorry.

[christian franca]

omg you waste so much money if you buy like talk guys

The unlocked variant of the 2600 (the 2600K) is fairly feasible in modern gaming, because it overclocks pretty well. The flat 2600 doesn't have that option, so really it's a pretty slow old CPU.

Your Mobo could support up to an i7 3770K as an upgrade path, which is again old, but overclocks pretty well.

 

The real killer to performance is your GTX 750Ti. An RX 580 8GB would be an easy and significant upgrade for fairly cheap.

 

The build will never be "high end" without just building anew, because that's like $1500+ budget range. But for 1080p 60hz gaming, the 2600k/3770k overclocked with an RX 580 would feel pretty damn high end. So there is an easy and inexpensive upgrade path if you want it.

[steelo]

IMO low because of your GPU...

 

I feel your GPU is by far the weakest component. I'd say you're probably okay with 720p resolution and medium graphics settings but anything higher and your frame rates will will most likely drop dramatically.

 

 Upgrade to a overclocked RX570 or RX580 and maybe try overclocking your i7 and you'll have a pretty solid mid range system that can play 1080 games at ~60 fps all day long.

Agreed. 
 

I got some parts from an old work PC (3770K + mobo + 2x4gb ram) and also bought a used RX580 (4gb version). I used this to build a low/mid range gaming PC for my kids.
With a small OC to 4,4ghz i got some decent results and could easily play 1080p on medium/high settings with decent fps (+50 in all games so far).

I am high/ultra at 1080p with a Ryzen 5 2600 and an RX 580. (sure, AC and Metro Exodus might be a different story, but even Tomb Raider is 60+ at max settings.)

A 3770K with overclock should pull at least competitive frames. 

So realistically you could push that envelope.

Unfortunately my PSU is  the problem. It's a 320W with proprietary connectors. Therefore I'm limited by power.

My Mobo supports up to an i7-2600 non K.. which is the absolute peak.. I've looked it up.

But are you sure that my Hewelett-Packard 1497 mobo supports that CPU?  Can you share a link? 

[Kilrah]

Well you never mentioned until now that you had an HP prebuilt, so...

Probably not worth doing upgrades then.

[homeap5]

When I said "low" in new games, I mean GPU, not CPU. Your processor is still good.

Lol dude you can't expect everyone coming to answer your question to go to that level of research. We are all trying to assist several people at once.

 

I'm referring to the chipset that a 2600 uses. It supports 2nd and 3rd gen Intel chips.

Since you didn't list what the MOBO is, I assumed you have a decent consumer MOBO. 

If you were to drop down to 720p, the 750ti still does well in high-ish settings. (Maybe medium in new AAA.)

I meant it like can you prove it that my mobo supports 3rd gen intel chips, because if it does then I wouldn't hesitate to buy one.

Because the i7-2600 is on the LGA1155 socket. 3rd gen Intel CPUs utilize the same chipset. 

So if your motherboard supports a 2600, it supports a 3770K. Obviously you'll want to consider how good the VRMs are on the board, and you'll likely need a BIOS update.

 

A board supports any chip within its chipset with proper BIOS. If you're stating your board is hot garbage and thus can't support something better, that's a different issue, which I could have zero foresight into.
