Don't judge me...

[bobswaget]

Hi everyone! I've decided it's time to upgrade my three year old build because I really want to play COD ww2 (like I said don't judge) but it runs extremely poorly on my pc.

 

My build:

- CPU: 3.2 GHz Intel Pentium G3258

- Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760

- Motherboard: Gigabyte Z97MX-Gaming 5

 

For the record, I cannot add another graphics card to the motherboard since the other pci real estate is being used by an ethernet card (ethernet is not working on the motherboard).

Thanks so much in advance for any responses!

your pentium isn't overclocked? because you would really chew up allot more performance there for the extra cost of...... a cooler maybe....

Definitely CPU first. I've seen gameplay of COD WW2 on the G3258, and it ain't pretty. The game doesn't seem to handle dual cores well in general. If you don't mind not running the latest and greatest platform, an i5 4590 would be a nice upgrade. I had one in the same board and I could BCLK overclock it to 3.7GHz.

I think you should just build another rig

What's an ethernet graphics card?  Did you mean pci ethernet card?

 

Have you thought about a USB to ethernet converter?

Okay, so what is your budget?...

I would see what is limiting you, if it is the GPU you could see if you could get a used 960 or 770. If it the the CPU, I might just recommend upgrading your Mobo and processor, and maybe getting a Ryzen 1200

760 SLI is not the way to go regardless, so that's kind of a moot point (although he surely means a PCIE NIC).

get a quad core that fit your motherboard and a better GPU

he can get a core i5 or core i7 for this motherboard and it'll smash the ryzen through the wall and he dont need to buy a new motherboard or new RAM...your recommendation...yeah...
