Upgrading Help

[jeansplice]

Hi guys. I got myself a nice budget gaming rig, G3258 + Zotac 750ti. I got these because i smashed my laptop some while ago and i needed a computer. So far it runs most games quite fine but i find myself playing BF4 90% of the time and it's like playing BF3 on my laptop; low graphics, stuttering and it's aesthetically pleasing as games from 2010.

My full rig:

PSU: Xigmatek 450W (this is probably the weakest link)

CPU: G3258 clocked at 4.1ghz

GPU: Zotac GTX750Ti

Ram: 1x Kingston Savage 4gb and 1x Kingston Fury (both 1600mhz)

 

So what should i upgrade first? Go for a good graphics card? My budget is sort of flexible and i live in Istanbul so prices may not be as fair as US prices.

If you can OC more the CPU, i'd buy another GPU... Latest games benefit from having 4 cores though, so it's quite a hard choice... Look at the usage of both CPU and GPU in the games you use most, and decide with that...

The CPU should be the first thing bottlenecking you in a demanding game like Battlefield 4. I'd say you could upgrade to a Intel Core i5 first. The PSU will do well enough though. 

 

And then maybe in a year or so upgrade the GPU (maybe together with the PSU, depending on power consumption).

I tried, even got a CM Evo 212, it BSOD'd when it was doing some photo editing so i pulled it back to 4.1ghz. that's at 1.3v mind you, 4.2ghz crashed at 1.35v even though the CPU was around 63 celcius
