Hello Guys,

 

i would like to ask for your opinions regarding my scenario.

 

i have a PC running Dota 2 on 1366 x 768 resolution.

 

i want to transition my PC into 1080p and play Dota 2 with it. along some games i may find interesting in the near future. but most of the time i guess it would be playing Dota 2 :P

 

i would like to ask if it is necessary to upgrade my CPU? or a GPU upgrade is just fine? here's my rig right now

 

Phenom II x2 555BE.

4GB Ripjaws X dual channel kit.

160GB HDD.

Nvidia GT630.

 

TIA guys!

you could upgrade your gpu to a r7 260x or gtx 750 ti and upgrade to 8 gb of ram. Cpu is okay for now.

Well your cpu is only good for a low end gpu like R7 260/GTX750.If you plan on buying a better graphics card,don't even bother.I'd upgrade the whole package if possible of course.

 

How can you fit anything in a 160GB HDD?! :P
