Hey everyone!
Im in the thought about getting an upgrade in the upcoming month and i got a very limited budget. My budget cannot exceed 370euro.
I want to be able to play SWTOR without dropping to the sub 30s fps in warzones as i do with my current setup. Im 80% sure that im getting bottlenecked by my CPU + RAM, since my GPU usage never goes above 25% in warzones, while my RAM is at between 25-40mb "free" and cpu usage is around 50-80%.
I do not think i need to upgrade my gtx470, thoughts?
Since i got a pretty low budget, i wonder which one of these i should upgrade to.
My current system specs can be seen to the left.
Here is an AMD upgrade i put toghether:
AMD Memoria AMD Dimm 8 Gb (2x4 Gb) ddr3 1600 Mhz CL 8 Performance Edition
€ 51,89
(This memory is manufactured by Patriot)
AMD Processore FX-8120 Black Edition 8 Core 3,1 Ghz Socket AM3+ Sbloccato
€ 199,99
ASROCK Motherboard 970 Extreme3 socket AM3+ chipset AMD 970 ATX
€ 82,69
Total price: € 334,57
Here is the Intel upgrade i put toghether:
INTEL Processore Core i5-2500K (Sandy Bridge) Quad-Core 3,30 Ghz con moltiplicatore sbloccato GPU integrata HD 3000 socket LGA 1155 Boxato
€ 219,99
CORSAIR Memoria Dimm Vengeance 8Gb (2x4Gb) ddr3 1600 MHz Unbuffered CL 9-9-9-24
€ 49,99
MSI Motherboard P67A-C43B3 (Rev. B3) socket LGA 1155 chipset Intel P67 Micro-ATX
€ 97,69
Total price: € 367,67
