Hello!
Looking for some advice to get the most bang for my buck, it's for playing Apex Legends.
So my (very old) setup used to be:
- i5 4590
- R9 390
- 8 GB DDR3 RAM
- 250 GB SSD
- 2 TB HDD
- GIGABYTE GA-Z97P-D3 motherboard
- Cooler Master V650 PSU
- Windows 10
- Simple 1080p monitor @ 60Hz
Now i have replaced my GPU with a MSI GTX 1080Ti 11GB.
Also i have upgraded my RAM to 16GB
Also i have bought a 1080p monitor which supports 165Hz refresh rate.
I get around 70-120 fps in Apex Legends now at 1080p. It's inconsistent. But still for me its an amazing upgrade coming from just a 60Hz monitor.
I still play some other games and i think my old i5 4590 is kind of bottlenecking my 1080ti. (CPU is 95%-99% usage all the time playing, sometimes even freezing due to 100%)
I would love to upgrade my system without breaking the bank. I just want to make it happen to play Apex Legends on a constant 144Hz/FPS or 165Hz/FPS.
Low settings does not matter, it's even better for me...
