Help with upgrading my PC

[Ranar]

Hey guys, first of all I have read some posts here in the forum and you are amazing!

I wanted to upgrade my PC a little bit, I am not a pro gamer and I have built the pc myself with some help from YouTube videos and sites like bottleneck calculator.

I do feel like the PC lacks something, I cant point out what is the problem but I want more power. I have listed a full description of the PC and peripherals if there is some information missing I am sorry I don't have a big understanding in PC building.

The setup is fairly new, it is half a year old. I hope you could help me with telling me what should I make stronger, is it just the CPU or is it just the GPU? Maybe I am missing some important steps after building a PC? (I updated all of the drivers i could find. and the original software`s of each component`s manufacturer.

Might just be that your monitor is 75Hz. What framerates are you getting with free sync off? Anything higher than 75fps would indicate that your monitor is bottlenecking your system (and I suspect this is the case)

Razer fanboy/girl I see... Intereseting...

Ehm! Anyways. I can't see that your PC needs an upgrade, unless you are playing on ultra graphics and really want over 144hz. Upgrade your peripherals instead. I have a feeling they're going to break just outside of the warranty period. EDIT: I agree with @AndrewZScorpion. 

 

Mind me asking what headset/headphones do you have also?

Well it is ultrawide and 144hz ultrawide is pretty damn expensive.

Hey,  Actually I'm not a fan boy I bought the mouse because I like the fact that it is big and wireless and fits my hand perfectly, the keyboard and mouse mat was my GF`s gift to go with the mouse haha. And I`m using the Bose QC 35 ii.

So yeah. The reason you want more power is because you are bottlenecking with only 72hz. I have 144 and I never go back. It is like drugs haha jk. Anyways. Get a good monitor with atleast 120hz!

right, your system looks good, is well balanced and you're saying that you get 200fps on your main game. why do you want to upgrade? what do you wish it could do more?

If you have a friend/family member with a 144/240hz monitor, ask them if you can borrow it to test how it feels. If not, see if a local shop will let you test one out.

I dont know I just feel that it lacks some smoothness I guess it`s the monitor like the other guys said.

Sadly no shop lets you try things out here before you buy it, and I am the only "gamer" among my relatives and all my friends play on gaming laptops which is a whole different experience.

You could get a normal sized 16:9 curved 1440p 144 or 165hz monitor if you still want curved.

Damn. Guess you could buy one and return it if you aren't satisfied with it. Not sure there's anything else you could really do in that case.

I Don`t have a curved monitor right now i use the ultrawide to multitask which is important for my work. Do you know any recommended ultrawide monitors? (pref a 144HZ one I believe the 240 is very expensive)
