Hello!

 

Currently when i try to play any new game (2016 - 2017) it only works for about 10 - 20 min than whole PC freezes (on low - medium settings) if i try to set on high - ultra game crashes in max 5 mins. I was thinking to upgrade GPU only or you guys think i should upgrade any other component too? One option is also buying new pc (i know this would sort problems) but anyway i still think this pc is good enough..

 

Current setup

 

I was thinking to buy GTX 1060 6GB

what are you temps when gaming? sounds more like an overheating issue than a hardware issue.

 

Also a 780ti performs about the same as a 1060 6gb, so it'd be pointless to "upgrade", and im using the term upgrade loosely there.

Oh damn i thought they were still similar, that sucks. 

 

CPU temps seem fine for gaming.

GPU is a bit hot, but not hot enough for it to throttle or cause a crash.. are the drivers the most current ones?
