hey, so im pretty new to all the computer hardware and software, and everything else, but i was thinking of upgrading my CPU and video card, just any suggestions? im looking for something that will let me play most games on pretty descent quality. currently i have these:
-AMD Radeon HD 8570
and for CPU:
-Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4440 CPU @ 3.10GHz
>>
Upgrade to devil's canyon OP

anything for my video card?
>>
>>51291749
Graphics Card.

Give budget and i'll recommend something.
>>
>>51291916
well nothing too to expensive, maybe 100-300 at most?
>>
>>51291910
Depends on how much you wanna spend
>>
>>51291926
What you'll get between 100 and 300 will be very different in terms of performance.

Be more specific.
>>
>>51291926
watcha gonna do with your pc? gaming? if so, 300 is most likely the money you'll spend if this is an Updgrade
>>
get an r9 390 and you're set
>>
>>51291947
This, or a 960/970 up to you OP
>>
>>51291938
well 300 is around about what im looking at paying as a max, so lets go between 3-350
>>
>>51291960
r9 390
>>
>>51291992
>r9 390
oh, i should mention, im Aus, not US, so 300 Aus, not American
>>
>>51291960
Radeon R9 390 or Geforce GTX 970 is what you're looking for then.

The 390 performs better than the 970 at 1440p and higher resolution but gets beat at 1080p and loses harder in a few titles. It also consumes quite a bit more power than the 970 but you'll have to upgrade your chink tier power supply that came in that prebuilt either way.

If you're into graphics modding and overhauling you'll want the 390 for sure.
>>
>>51292007
Disregard this>>51292027
since you're Aus.

A R9 380 would suffice well. It's better than the GTX 960 in every area except power consumption. The 960 only wins in a very small handful of games.

>>51292056
okay cool, so in reference to something like total war attila, or fallout 4, what sort of graphics/frame rate will i be getting?
>>
>>51292077
Total war will play like shit no matter what you buy.

With Fallout 4 the 960 is actually better at the moment, but only due to specific Nvidia optimizations. With a driver update the 380 will probably reclaim it's position.

In Fallout 4 you can expect close to 60 fps at 1080p with medium-high settings, no ultra.

Also in Fallout 4 find out a way to turn god rays off. Big performance hit for little to no difference at all in lighting.
