This is more or less my current build which is a few years old. I'm usually a few years behind current gen games, but I'm starting to run into issues with stuff I want to play. Is the GPU going to be my main limiting factor or do I need to upgrade my CPU/Mobo as well? CPU: Intel Core i5-4590 3.3 GHz Quad-Core Processor Motherboard: ASRock H97M PRO4 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) DDR3-1600 CL9 Memory Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 950 2 GB FTW ACX 2.0 Video Card Case: NZXT Source 210 ATX Mid Tower Case Power Supply: Cooler Master VSM 550 W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply

Thom P. Tiers posted:This is quite outdated. DDR3 RAM, only 250GB on the SSD, the CPU is is 7 years old and the GPU is 6 years old. If it's in your budget... it's probably time for an upgrade on everything. Unfortunately, GPU's are impossible to find right now at a reasonable price. Okay, a full rebuild is not unreasonable, I just wasn't sure if that was the case. Thanks for all the inputs, glad to know I ran this machine into the ground!

My old build: CPU: Intel Core i5-4590 3.3 GHz Quad-Core Processor Motherboard: ASRock H97M PRO4 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) DDR3-1600 CL9 Memory Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 950 2 GB FTW ACX 2.0 Video Card Case: NZXT Source 210 ATX Mid Tower Case Power Supply: Cooler Master VSM 550 W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply I'm seeing this build on Newegg. I'm a 1080p gamer, not worried about 4k stuff. Any thoughts on grabbing this as an upgrade?

Pilfered Pallbearers posted:It looks reasonable. Price isn’t too bad. NVME? Thanks for the heads up on the cooler. I'll keep an eye out. CoolCab posted:will be a pretty significant upgrade for sure, 950-2060 is a big jump, and you'll be able to apply DLSS to tease even more performance out of it. it's a bit more expensive than i'd like but that's the loving market i suppose - you might be able to shop around cheaper but it's not highway robbery, imo at least. you could also bring the storage forward from your old machine too. DLSS? Yeah it's a little pricey, but not terrible considering I'm seeing current gen stuff see for 2-3x MSRP online. Good call on bringing the storage over. Appreciate the info from both of you!

PC Building Megathread - Is that the price or the series? EDIT: Okay I was wondering about PCIe SSD's, I hadn't read up about them. Cheers!
