What parts do you have in your dell vostro? and to run PUBG on high you need a 1060 or a rx 580 min.

right now the dell vostro is stock, besides it has an older nvidia graphics card in it, and i think its i5 dont know how my mhz or cores.

We need a set budget that tells us how much you're willing to spend.

 

Just saying "try to keep it low" isn't going to cut it.

Doesn't really give us a lot of options... being a prebuilt, I bet that PSU has a ton of proprietary connectors. The CPU should be good enough although PUBG's optimisation is just iffy.

 

I suggest getting a GTX 1050Ti that doesn't have a PCIe power connector and a SSD if you don't already have one.

so basically i wouldn't need to upgrade my cpu? just the gpu and get an SSD?

It's a second gen i5, right? It should be good enough.

 

For $400, you're not really going to get much... it's just an assumption, but I doubt that prebuilt will give us much options for upgrading due to the likelihood of it having proprietary connectors. But in comparison to building a whole new PC ($400 should only net you a Pentium G4560 with a GTX 1050/Ti), just adding a GTX 1050Ti and a SSD is a much better option.

I have the 950m in my Asus and I can run pubg but everything is almost on loweset settings

[RAM555789]

^ Yeah my settings are turned rather far down as well but I don't care about graphics that much.

Will upgrading from 2x4gb ram to 2x8gb help me any you think?

No, PUBG, and BF1 are very well optimized,currently with 8GB I only memory leak on Arma 3 which is not well optimized.
