Good Evening All,
It seems almost tradition now that at around the 3-4 year mark, I end up looking to potentially upgrade my system - and we're just about at the 3 and 1/4 year stage now.
My current system is:
I run in 4k, using the Acer Predator XB273k.
In general, my system is obviously still performing pretty decently - but in recent months I've noticed a couple of dips in peformance specifically around newer titles (Warhammer 40k Darktide, Cod MW2, Dying Light 2) - but this hasn't really bothered me too much as I'm still mainly a LoL, CSGO gamer who refuses to leave 2010 - but as newer titles are coming out that are enticing me away, and because I've recently come into a little bit of extra money, I'm wondering if there's any input any of you might be able to give me about potential upgrades.
The CPU i have is coming up to 4 years old in July next year, so I would imagine that (as well as potentially ram) could be pretty easily upgraded - but PCS Forums have always been the place that have ultimately helped me make that decision. I also know that we're at that time of the year, ish, where new tech has come out and there's sometimes a potential to snag a deal on tech of yesterday - so any help is appreciated.
I'm keen to potentially break my tradition of getting a brand new PC every 3-4 years, by instead just upgrading some parts this time - which I know PCS can and will help me with - so any input anyone has to help me with those choices is welcome.
If you've any questions at all just give me a shout and thanks again,
Oli
