Old Pc May require upgrade and aid is necessary

MalzzehFTW

So guys i require aid from you

I have the same pc for like 6 years now(exept PSU and Gpu which where added latter), and i'm thinking of upgrading it

But even tho i know how to put a pc together if i have the components, i dont really know about the components per se

So here are my Specs:

PSU: Nox Urano VX 650W

CPU:Intel Q6600 2.40GHZ

GPU: EVGA 650 Ti Boost(1GB)

Ram:7GB DDR2

MotherBoard:GigaByte GA-EP43-DS3L

 

 

I Use this PC for gaming right now

but i cant play most of the games i'd like right now

While i can play LoL, WoW and Eso with no problems

Games like Watch Dogs, Fifa 16,F1 2015 are too much for this old machine

Watch dogs on minimum settings barelly gets to 30fps

Fifa 16 and F1 2015 i get frames skipping all over the place

 

 

So i would like to know what i should upgrade to play games like those, while mantaining atleast 30-45fps on decent settings

Also If overclocking would fix this, i would like some recomendations on a cooler, because i still have my stock cooler

 

Thanks in advance :)

Honestly, consider building a cheaper PC (around 700-1000). Or buy a better gpu and upgrade the motherboard, processor, ram etc.. later.

 

6 years is a pretty good lifespan!

i mean, if you'd rather not build a new computer I'd do this:

SSD's (if not already done)

QX6800

750ti (or maybe MAYBE a 960) - 775 sockets aren't made for the 900's series graphics cards

Shipping sucks

the q6600 is a pretty capable cpu... its no i7, but it does get the job done, if you are on an extreme budget, consider buying a used gtx 770 or get the rx 480/ gtx 1060, that will make the build run fine..

 

if you need a new computer, here is a build for someone else on the forum i made that had an extreme budget of $500, only thing is you may want to wait for the rx 470 to come out to actually build this instead of the 380x i included. http://pcpartpicker.com/list/cZmcqk

 

ps i recommend getting all the parts on newegg :) total price was $565 for me

Thanks for your input guys

Since one of the options is to build a new pc, i would like some opinion on this build plan: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/2mwMcc

 

My budget is around 1000€ maybe a lil bit more

however if i would like to squeeze a quality headset in there

If you wouldnt mind give a look at that, and feel free to give sugestions on some changes and stuff

 

also sorry for the late reply, killer week :S
