ganjamann 2 Posted December 26, 2013 Hey Guys,I've been wanting to upgrade my pc for sometime now and have had some money from christmas to do so. I play Dayz/Arma about 90% of the time i am on my pc but can only just manage to run it in low settings. my FPS bounces from around 15 - 26. i have found a new processor online but i am not sure if i can get anything better for quality/money. I also want to upgrade my graphics card but really dont know what one to get or what one will fit my motherboard? i will post below my current system and the new parts that i found online. I will be very greatful if someone can make a suggestion to help me out. Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2P Processor: AMD FX 4100Graphics Card: ATI Radeon 6450RAM: 8GBHDD: 1TB New PartsProcessor: AMD FX-8300Graphics Card: Thanks, Appreciate it!

LiamFX (DayZ) 77 Posted December 26, 2013 (edited) What power supply do you have? I see 90% of people post these upgrade threads without mentioning their power supply (and not just the wattage but the quality/brand of it)The same with your memory, what make/speed is it?The reason why I ask about yoru power supply is because if you upgrade your graphics card that is quite power intensive then you might need to upgrade your power unit.

bensticles 75 Posted December 27, 2013 What is the powersupply? Pretty important. By 8300 do you mean AMD 8350? 8350 will great. Standalone is still very unoptimized so don't expect tons of frames. If you want a cheaper (but good) graphics card a 7850/7870 2g can be found for 150-200. In the US. GPU's: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121649 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102999 I'd recommend those GPU's my friends run them, and get 60fps in BF4. High graphics. One of them is running a 8350. We still need power supply info. It is very important for powering all that stuffs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
