Hello Guys

 

I need your help I build my PC late 2014, for gaming and as a personal computer. I think is time for an update.

 

I use the computer mostly to watch movies, internet browsing and the occasional game. I don’t play a lot of but there are some new games I like to play (like Read Dead Redemption) that I don’t think I can run properly

 

My Specs today are:

 

CPU

Intel Core i5 4670K @ 3.40GH

Haswell 22nm Technology

RAM

16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 799MHz (11-11-11-30)

Motherboard

Gigabyte Technology Co. Ltd. H97-Gaming 3 (SOCKET 0)

Graphics

BenQ VW2245Z (1920x1080@60Hz)

Intel HD Graphics 4600 (Gigabyte)

2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 (ASUStek Computer Inc)

ForceWare version: 445.87

SLI Disabled

Storage

465GB Seagate ST500DM002-1BD142 (SATA)

111GB KINGSTON SV300S37A120G (SSD)

 

 

I’m thinking to upgrade my Graphics Card , Monitor and another SSD

 

For the monitor I’m considering a Samsung SD332 de 24",1920 x 1080 (Full HD 1080p)

 

And for the GPU I don’t know if I should Jump to GeForce RTX 2060 or to just upgrade to a GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER. My CPU would be sufficient?

 

I would like to try the VR Experience maybe that would be my Christmas Present, so I want my PC to be capable of that.

 

I have a budget of about 450 USD

 

What are your recommendations?
