asr37 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 (edited) I haven't built a gaming PC since 2014 and I am not up to speed at all on current technologies. DCS has been a bit taxing on my system and I would like to improve both my FPS and turn up the quality a bit. Some AA would be nice. This is my current build: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KPRWB9G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1 at 4ghz https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DWV3NM6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s03?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006EWUO22/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 And I have DCS on an SSD. Depending on what my bottlenecks are when it comes to DCS, I was contemplating a few options. If my CPU and DDR3 ram aren't too bad, I could pick up another graphics card of the same type for $150-$200. I could upgrade to a modern graphics card with more VRAM. Or I could keep the case, PSU, drives, and h80i cooler and basically build a new rig. If I were to invest in a new rig, I would probably not want to spend more than $700-$1,000. What are your thoughts and what would you guys recommend? Edited July 17, 2019 by asr37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudel_chw Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I would keep the cpu+mobo+ram for another year and today just replace the graphics card ... it was a fast card at its prime, but that was on 2013 ... if you replace it with a RTX-2060 it will improve your graphics performance by 50% For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600X - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia GTX1070ti - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar - Oculus Rift CV1 Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
