Hey guys so i currently have a spare £450 so roughly $600 and figured it would be time for an upgrade on my PC! I mainly use my PC for Photoshop, Lightroom and gaming and sometimes find my PC to struggle when

i have multiple things open. Most games are currently running Medium Settings with all the fancy stuff turned off. Any opinion on upgrades would be greatly appreciated! 

 

 

SPECS:

 

Intel Core i5 4690K Processor overclocked to up to 4.2GHz
Gaia CPU Cooler
Gigabyte Z97-HD3 Motherboard
GeForce GTX 760 2GB Graphics Card
8GB PC3-10666 DDR3 Memory
1000GB SATA 7200rpm Hard Disk
600watt PSU

Depending on your budget I would buy a new gpu, an ssd for windows and other programs you want to be fast, upgrade to 16 gb ram. If you got a low budget then I would buy the 8 gb ram used, maybe the ssd too (remember to get a screenshot of CrystalDiskMark)
