Hello, I'm new here so I don't know if this is right or wrong to ask but I need some help. I want to upgrade my parts on my pc but I'm not good at knowing what's good and what is bad. I'm looking to be able to play games like league of legends, pubG, h1z1, csgo, bo4, fortnite, warframe, and overwatch. With my current build I can get around 100 frames in League and CS:GO but whenever I try to stream them it goes down to about 10 fps. bo4, h1z1, and pubG, fortnite, warframe and overwatch all have framerates of under 30 even on lowest settings. I am thinking about upgrading to a gtx 1050 ti, I'm on a $140 budget for this but I wanted to consult experts so I don't buy somthing that won't work with my rig. Please leave sugestions and thoughts. I don't want to buy a gpu that won't fit in my case, or my cpu will bottleneck, etc. I've read that the gt line of graphic cards were not meant for gaming, which is probably why I've had little success with it. I'm also afraid of buying a graphics card that needs more power then my psu can supply. Thanks for any advice or oppinions ?

 

Specs:

 

Cpu: AMD FX-4300 Vishera 32nm Technology Quad-core - 3.8 ghz

 

Gpu:  2047mb NVIDEA GeForce GT 730 (MSI)

 

MotherBoard: MSI 760GMA-P34(FX) (MS-7641)

 

Ram: 8gb ddr3 - can go up to 16 gb

 

PSU: 350 Watt - ATX

 

Case: Raidmax Horus

it's better to just rebuild the whole thing. It's hopeless and all but the case and storage drives are worth reusing

 

If you have to start somewhere, upgrade the power supply and graphics card first.

I have to agree save up some money and build a new PC, try to sell the one you have now for some cash. My PC uses a 7700k and a 1060. It streams like a charm!

The only thing worth saving from your current rig is the RAM if you plan to stick in the realm of DDR3 and buy used hardware. BUT I don't recommend that. I would encourage you to save your pennies, mow lawns, beg your parents to pay you to do chores or something until you have at least around 450 USD. Then build this: 

 

I'm not sure how much streaming you will be doing on it but it will be better than your current build.

 

Good luck.
