Posted January 1, 2018 I was wondering if I should keep the pc I have or just start over with a new build. I was wondering if my current pc is worth upgrading i have a pc with a i5 3470, 8gb of ram a ssd and two 4tb hard drives. Would it be better to upgrade the ram to 16gb and get something like a 1080 or 1080ti? I would like to know if anyone has any good advice. So far this pc has cost me $0 I have a h440, with two 4tb HDDs a EVGA 650gs and the 3470. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 1, 2018 What resolution and refresh rate? Could you check if your CPU or GPU is the bottleneck?

Posted January 1, 2018 Author I’m just gonna do 1080 60hz, I plan to slowly buy the parts. What if I got a 1080 put it in my old pc then move it over when I have the rest of the parts for the new pc, I’m just wondering if I would even have to build a new pc.
