Hey - This is my 2nd topic as the first one I kinda ruined cause I wasn't at home, weren't sure about my parts etc.

So - I love gaming. But I hate the lag.

Now I'll tell you about my PC. I'm not looking for a full build, just an upgrade.
At this moment when I play i.e Far Cry 4 - I got to play it with Low Graphics and it's still a bit laggy. I'm looking for graphics ~high with a decent (+45, 60) FPS.

Finnish stores I can buy items from:
http://www.verkkokauppa.com/fi
http://www.jimms.fi/


Should I upgrade my GPU? IMO that's the cause of lagging.




Budget ~low, max. 400€.

You're also running out of RAM.

Get more RAM and a new GPU.

That is all.

You can get:

Also, find out what your current RAM is. I'm assuming its a single 4GB stick since your board supports dual channel. Match the brand/series and get another one.

Get a similiar (cas latency and clocks) couple of sticks+ 970 as mentioned, performance should be years ahead of current setup.

Get rid of the 2x2 and get a 2x4 kit. It will total in the cart at 417 though. The extra 17 euro will be worth it though.

and either sell the old RAM on €bay or hold onto it, and if you ever help someone with their pc and they need RAM you can sell it to them.

Cart? 417? What do you mean, 970 + RAMs?
