HELP: Advice my gaming rig

[Huayra]

Hi everyone,

I intend to get a pc to play WoW Legion, DOTA 2 and Final Fantasy XIV: Heavenwards and maybe Overwatch on MAX settings. May I get any advise regarding the specs that I've look at so far?

DirectX® 11
OS: Windows® 7 64 bit or Windows® 10 64-bit?
CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-3330
Memory: 8GB
Available space on hard disk/SSD: 45GB
Graphics Card: NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 750 Ti

Please advise and any idea the approximate price? I intend to head to Sim Lim one day soon.

So is this about upgrading your rig or are u gonna build a new pc?

Anyway which way u going I prefer u just do upgrades, u can swap your GPU to a RX 480 8GB @ 399 or GTX 1070 @ 768. And maybe get another ssd or HDD to have more space to install any future games.

Thank you so much for your advice. Can I just ask what does the price+3 mean?

And would windows 10 or windows 8 be recommended?

ok thank you so much! by the way, is it very important to get a good monitor? i intend to get either a 24" or 27" monitor but will it be more demanding on the system?

It depends on the resolution, i think gaming on 1080p monitor with the rx480 should be fine
