What will be the cheapest, most efficient upgrades i can do? Prefer to keep it under 300-400 Dollars

Currently my only goals would be to run WoW More Efficiently ( I multibox 10 accounts at the moment ).

Currently game on a 144 fps Monitor 1080p, Interested in going 144 fps 2K

Leaning towards this card https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814137291&cm_re=rx_570-_-14-137-291-_-Product

plus maybe extra 8 gigs of ram.

thatll put me right in my budget, unless someone else has other suggestions

I'd save up and get a 1070.

No reason to upgrade if you aren't having issues doing whatever you're trying to do.

I wouldn't go with an AMD just because your monitor has freesync.

Save up, grab a 1070 whenever you get enough. If you're having issues with RAM, throw another 8GB stick in there eventually.

Your setup shouldn't give you any issues for a while after that.

It isn't giving me problems per say but i can't do everything that I would like to do on max settings with high fps. Which I knew would happen due to grabbing a budget card to begin with.

Is there no amd equivalent 1070 around the same price? Or is intel just that much better

nvidia* not intel
yes they are just better amd basically doesn't exist on the gpu market rn
you got cucked with the freesync monitor
if you do get nvidia just remember freesync is an open standard they could adopt it but as a consumer you are garbage to them so they don't care.

Ye i don't know why i put intel lol

My acer monitor was still rated very good for the price, freesync or not and at the time the rx 460 was a great budget card for what i needed it for.

Ill look into getting 1070 then and another stick of ram
