Howzit Guys
So my current system is standing at:
CPU: i7 4770 with a bequiet! air cooler
Ram: 8gb very generic shopping mall rando pickup at 800mhz according to CPU-Z
Motherboard: Gigabyte H97M-D3H
GPU: GTX 1060 6bg
PSU: 500W Corsair
Storage, 120gb ssd for OS and some apps, 500gb hard drive for the bulk (don't really keep much games or large files, not particularly because of restriction but rather I keep things clean)
The PC has been built up bit by bit switching out things where I could with my budget, and has for the most part taken care of my needs (Mainly gaming titles like LoL, light video and photo editing here and there, and some admin things). But I've recently hit an issue running some newer games most notably WarZone and stutter like a mofo mostly due to the ram I think.
Whilst I do understand that newer is arguably always better, is it necessary to swop out the entire CPU, motherboard and Ram out for a newer gen now? And if so, what would that combo price for if I sold it? Looking at the Ryzen platforms mostly for upgrades.
Or would it be fine to change out the ram for something a lot better for now, and ride the system for approx another 1.5-2 years or so? Which would also be much easier and cheaper.
I've also found it difficult to find any "decent" Ram options for 16gb DDR3 around new or second hand, maybe someone could point me in that direction?
Much appreciate the help!
