Looking to upgrade soon

[patar.thedino]

I built my first computer about a year ago and noticed, based on both Linus' videos and articles around the internet, that I may have misappropriated some funds. I have been saving up and I'm wondering where to upgrade my system for the best bang-for-my-buck and to be prepared for new releases like Fallout 4 and Just Cause 3. I have an i5 4960k, msi 2gb 750 ti and a g45 x89 mobo. Thanks for your help

gpu upgrade for sure

and lower the cpu if you need to save money

and also..you said wrong motherboard..you probably mean h87 or something or z87

You should upgrade to a better GPU if you want to run newer and more demanding titles. I would recommend an R9-380 or GTX 970 if you can. And are you sure you have the right motherboard?

As everyone else has said, make upgrading your GPU to a priority. a GTX 970 would work great for your type of build. Very powerful for the price that it's sold at.

Depending on your budget, probably just a new GPU.

Thank you for the suggestions and yes I did get the motherboard wrong it's a z87. I was also reading that newer games are going to demand more ram. Would I be okay with 8 gb of ddr3 or should I look at 16 gb kits?

8GB of ram is fine. If you're just gaming and not doing anything too crazy in the background you'll be fine. Also, as people said above, upgrade your GPU. 

 

At a later point in time you should post a topic on the forum with your budget and we can help you in finding a graphics card that will fit your needs.

I agree with everyone's opinion to upgrade the GPU, tho i'm currently using GTX 750 Ti and i believe it's a decent video card. Playing games like Witcher 3, Dying Light and other high demanding games at maxed settings, but that's probably because I play at 1280x1024 resolution as my monitor is old and that is its maximum.
Don't rush to buy new video card if you are not playing at high resolution, just because your current card will probably run it perfectly. But if you have funds and wish to upgrade your configuration GTX 970 will be perfect choice as Evident said.
