Update or start a fresh

Hi everyone just starting on pc and need advice, my pc is running games at all the lowest settings. Is it just a matter of a new gpu and some more ram? Or should i go the way of a new build? thanks in advance.

Upgrade to a 1050ti.

Still a strong i7. More ram and better gpu should do depending on how much you'd like to spend

SSD, another 8gb ram and something like a 480 will be a nice upgrade

Another 8 gigs of ram, a ssd, and an rx 470/480 Would be awesome with that setup. Though you might have to upgrade the psu with those gpu's.

This is like a low powersetup so he'll def need a new PSU won't he.

prebuilts often have great CPUs paired up with shitty graphics cards.

a gtx 1050ti only needs around 75w, and some pre-builts do have half-decent psus.

what's your budget and psu? a good gpu should more than do the trick for gaming.
