I'm thinking Processor is my next step... thoughts?

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4570 CPU @ 3.20GHz, 3201 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)
Adapter Description NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
Memory: 8GB DDR5 (I think, its been at least 5 years since I bought ram, was 5 out then?)
Mobo: MSI Z87-G43

No overclocking or anything done.

Was probably ddr3 for memory considering only ddr4 right now

Oh, damn. Must have been thinking the GFX card

Is DDR4 significantly better than 3?

Idk the exact differences but sure ppl will weigh in

no. its a minor update all around but doesn't correlate to huge gains

budget
4 wat games

Meh budget is loose, I can spend what I want pretty much but I don't need a top tier 10k rig, I just play casually. I just want to keep it updates pretty much.

Games like Skyrim and Fallout run perfectly fine but at the same time Borderlands 1 has screen tearing. I've been fighting that for awhile.

Consider getting an SSD also if you don't have one yet.

Sorry, yeah my main OS is on an SSD

But good point!

I just did the same thing but when i bought a new cpu i bought a AIO cooler with it.

Should think about that as well


My cpu runs temps 2x less than before.
