Hey HWZ!,

I'm looking to upgrade my current pc but have no idea on what to upgrade on.
Here's what I'm using currently
INTEL G4400 @ 3.3ghz with biostar h110m chipset
4gb ram ddr4/ddr3
500gb hdd
24x Asus dvd writer
Micro atx case and power supply unit
Amd rx 460 2gb gddr5

I'm currently just looking at playing current games/streaming as well.

Currently I'm playing GTA/CSGO/Overwatch/NBA 2K17/The Witcher 3/Dragon Age.

Budget I can probably saved accordingly however I'm just looking to overclock and not lag with the games i'm playing.

Also the old parts, I'll just keep.

Among those games, Witcher 3 is the most taxing one. What resolution do you game on?

Please state the budget. :)

According to the games you are playing, most of them need quite a high requirement PC stats. Probably at least i5 6600k, 16GB ram and GTX 1070.

Based on your requirements, you probably need:

i5-6500
Additional RAM to a total of 8GB at least
New GPU - Recommend GTX1070 any cheapest variant (e.g Zotac GTX1070 Mini)
A small SSD for your OS

Last one not so crucial.. if budget cannot fit.

I'm actually not too sure on what my psu is though, sorry about that. But let's say i change the gpu it would be recommended to change my psu too right?

In what order should I upgrade my gear?
