upgrade after 6 years

[gmanamaya]

hello yall, I have my first build that was 5-6 years ago, still going strong, with no problems, still playing everything on ultra, just tested the BF5 on max settings, and ran great. these are my specs. I am just wondering what can I possibly upgrade and put round 1000 into upgrades , just shopping round also for good deals on bang for the buck parts I can upgrade or maybe just building another build and give this to my daughter? Should I try to OC the PC to increase performance?(never OC before)but it is unlocked. thanks in advance.

The easiest upgrade would be a 1080ti or 2080 tbh

Graphics card maybe? But if you see no specific reason to upgrade, I don't see why you should.

 

Your system sounds like its running like a dream

Overclock your cpu, find a few guides like Gamers Nexus and such, or TechyesCity, or other forums. Id go up to 1.3v on the CPU Core, should be able to get 4.1-4.4 out of that cpu.

 

Also you can get a 1080ti Used for around 450-560$ now, that will MASSIVELY help your fps.

Id say over 4.5ghz, but that CPU is the one where Intel moved back to paste from solder.  You could de-lid and go to liquid metal followed by pushing your clocks to 4.6ghz+.
