I'm looking to increase the power a little bit, tried playing some COD Warzone and it's way too laggy, unplayable even on low settings

Canirunit.com recommends at least 12gb ram (have 8) and 4gb for GPU (have 2)

I have 2 slots open to add/buy 2x more 4GB or DDR3 to have 16GB total.

My question is: Can I/is it worth it to just upgrade my video card and add the extra ram in this computer? Can my power supply etc handle the strong video card? Or is the rest of the hardware out dated and better to just start fresh on a new build?

If yes any recommendations on good value GPU right now?

I don't need to run all new games on max settings, just want to be playable without lag on standard settings.

Thanks !

sound like a huge bottleneck if you add a recent gpu to that build lol

But would it work

yes, just overclock the cpu.

pretty sure his current cpu is locked





Try it lol if it doesnt work well you have a new graphic card to use on your new build

so

Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB GV-N105TD5-4GD Graphic Cards ~240$

2x 4GB DDR3 ~80$?

wondering if this is worth it to add

if I had to build from scratch.. would probably buy a better gpu and not that ram, pretty hesitant because of that

just buy a good gpu right now lol

didn't even notice the lack of the k, my bad.

Buy this...

Then later buy this...

If you buy a 1050ti your wasting money... its the same as your 960.
If you wanna just upgrade ram and see how that works out get this...

Then sell ur old kit for 30$

damn that gpu is 670$ Canadian D:

will maybe test out with ram first

ordered the ram on amazon, same price but no shipping costs + will get it tomorrow

ty guys!
