Hello, sorry for the long story, stuck on what to best get
I am using a pc from many years ago (2016ish i think), specs below. Currently struggling to play Horizon Zero Dawn smoothly, i guess due to the GPU memory not enough..also bought God of War from the recent steam sales. Planning to also buy a mix of either Stray / Baldurs Gate 3 / Death Stranding / Cyberpunk also. Want to keep playing at 1920x1080 resolution
CPU: Intel i5-6500
Motherboard: Asustek H170m-plus
RAM: 1x Adata 8GB DDR4 2400Mhz
GPU: Leadtek GTX 1050
Storage: 1x Samsung SSD 750 EVO 120GB, 1x Toshiba 1TB HDD
PSU: AcBel PCB041 (not sure exact, it puts rated 500W max 550W)
Case: Corsair carbide spec alpha
Monitor: Samsung S24D330 24in 60Hz
[Budget] 2k
Some of my own thoughts..over-reading online past few days lol
- Adding 1 more similar RAM for dual channel + buying new GPU that can go with current PSU, then change others in the future then re-use the GPU
- Change motherboard+cpu+ram first, then later GPU+PSU
Or, will it be much better to save up more for a whole new setup? (my max 6k+)
[Purpose] Playing games at 1080p 60fps at mostly high setting (don't have to be all ultra setting)
[Location] mainland penang..i got this current setup from a pc shop nearby me and its been working well all this while....TQ!
Saja add screenshot details using msi afterburner for reference

Graphic card too weak. Upgrade it first. Budget also too low. Upgrade your PC in stages.I am using a pc from many years ago (2016ish i think), specs below.

Part 1:
Asrock Arc A750 8GB (RTX 3060 level performance but driver not as good as AMD or Nvidia) or Palit RTX 3060 12GB - 880 / 1275
Adata XPG Core Reactor 750W - 469
Kingston HyperX Fury Beast 32GB DDR4-3200 kit - 344
Part 2:
Core i5-12400 - 769
MSI B760M-A Pro Wifi - 644
(optional) Kingston KC3000 1TB - 349
Also, SSD and RAM price is going up. If you dont want to touch CPU, RAM and mobo, add a 8GB DDR4-2400 of same brand. Hopefully it can dual channel.
