Hi all,
I'm looking to surprise my brother this Christmas by upgrading his PC... well, it's a desktop we share, so perhaps it's a gift for me too.
Unfortunately, due to the current GPU pricing, an upgrade there is out of the question.
Current Setup:
CPU: Intel i5-4460
CPU Cooler: Stock
Motherboard: Asus H97M-E
Memory: 8GB (2x4GB) 1600Mhz DDR3 (I can't remember the brand)
Storage: 240GB SK Hynix 2.5'' SATA SSD + 1TB WD Blue 7200RPM HDD
Video Card: ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1050 Ti OC Edition
Power Supply: 500W ANTEC VP500P
Proposed New Setup:
CPU: Intel i5-10400F (R2719, Rebel tech)
CPU Cooler: Hyper 212 Spectrum (R489, Rebel tech)
Motherboard: Asus Prime B560M-K (R1299, Wootware)
Memory: 16GB (2x8GB) G.Skill DDR4-3200 CL16 (R1359, Wootware)
My brother is into sim racing; Asseto Corsa Competizione and rFactor 2, just to name some. He is also into open-world games such as Fallout and Far Cry.
I know that the GPU needs a bit of an upgrade, but that really isn't feasible right now. I have also heard that the racing sims, especially Asseto Corsa Competizione, are quite CPU intensive.
What do you guys think? Decent upgrade, or not worth it?
Thanks
