Is this a PCS build?

As PCS sell custom desktops and laptops we can't advise on self builds or competitor builds, you may want to check out Tom's Hardware which is an open forum.

If it's a PCS build, post your available budget for upgrades.

Probably your best bet - and I say this without any intention of being snarky - is to adjust your game settings.

Your system could support a better GPU. But you already have a 1050 ti, which is alright, and more to the point is fairly recent. Why spend £150? £180? on a 1050 ti only to replace it with another GPU like a 1060 or RX 580 that was already on the market when you bought your 1050 ti?

So be careful before deciding to upgrade anything. An SSD never goes amiss, but won't help your games performance (or if it does help your game performance it means there was something you could have done without buying new hardware...).

As above, is this a PCS system?
