Is there any point in an upgrade?

>GTX 660 (windforce)
>MSI H87M-G43

>Shitty chinese PSU (620w)

I made this 4 years ago. I game at 1080p and use it for some light work stuff like Matlab and autocad.
Recently i was thinking about making another build but this one has no issues and every game worth playing i usually get 60 fps or more on Mid-high settings easily.
I see everyone talking about the 480 and 1060/1070. Is there any point getting any of this is? What am i missing?

Damn nigga learn to count. Upgrade your GPU and maybe the power supply if you think it's gonna blow up.

sage

you don't need a upgrade if you are not playing anything more demanding than overwatch , league of legends or dota 2

i have a gtx 670 and i know that a 1060 or 480 would improve a lot my experience in games like Witcher 3

sage doesn't work.
Ye i messed up. its a 3 yo pc.
So is there anything besides Witcher 3 and other shitty games thats worth spending 1000€ while living in a poor country?

Get a PSU that's not going to blow up on you first.
>>

You don't need to spend 1000 euros, because all of the other parts are fine. Get a better power supply, and if you want to upgrade the GPU, even the mid range cards will give you a substantial increase in performance. You can also obviously sell the old card to offset some of the cost.

RX480 Nitro or EVGA 1060 - $250 (well probably not for the $1060 but you get my drift)
80+ Gold 650w - $70-$100 depending on if you want modular or not

Hey presto 1080p 60+ FPS
>>
>>55513316

Ye, i thought about a better psu + gpu combo.
But i think the performance increase vs price is not worth it. Maybe aim at a better gpu wouldn't be a bad idea. But since im gaming 1080p maybe it isn't worth it

this. had a shitty 650w psu burnout on me recently. I was lucky that all my components survived. Get something atleast bronze 80+ if you dont want a nice housefire.
