Tanner the Original Scout™ Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD UPGRADE YOUR GPU I'll try using Amazon.co.uk the best I can, especially since I'm American. http://goo.gl/uvYzME- GPU http://goo.gl/RLqrYB- PSU http://goo.gl/cJxGVW- monitor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zcrab Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Get a better PSU, one with like 650 Watt. Then get a new graphics card, and maybe a new case or monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urvianoob Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Upgrade the guy, 560 is old and outdated. I7 is still usable, upgrade is you have the money. Upgrade the screen to atleast a 16:9. If you have the money, get an ssd. Finally, get a new case if you don't mind removing everything and putting it back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwesomeMcCoolName Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 For actual in-game performance, I'd upgrade the GPU, PSU, and monitor. Then should you want to do any more upgrade, go with a newer/nicer case and an ssd.

iliad Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 can you recommend a case? (ima buy the graphics card later) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwesomeMcCoolName Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 can you recommend a case? (ima buy the graphics card later) On the cheap, something like an NZXT Source 210 (Source 210 Elite if you want front USB 3.0 headers). On the more expensive side, something like an NZXT S340, Corsair 330R, Fractal Design Define R5...There are a lot of choices. Corsair, Cooler Master, NZXT, Silverstone, Bitfenix, Rosewill, and Fractal Design make most of the good cases -- so I would check their sites and figure out what you like best.
