Hello! I would like to upgrade my old PC to be able to run a game like Battlefield 1 at the highest possible settings with very, very good FPS. My specs are below, what do I need to upgrade? For the GPU I was thinking the new GTX 1080? **GPU:** GTX 460 v2 (don’t laugh) **CPU:** i5-3570k @ 3.40GHz **RAM:** 8.00 GB **Resolution:** 1920 x 1080, 60Hz **OS:** Windows 10 Pro Thank you for responding. ---

Upgrade your video cards .. Your do 😉 Other than the vid card upgrades your about do for a new PC. At this point in order to get what you want to run ANY new game at HIGH FPS your going to need some good upgrades and instead of dumping money on the current system you have, personally I would start dumping money into better CPU/MOBO/RAM and recycle the new video card you buy now. and lets not forget SSD 😉 My 2 cents 🙂 ---

I would suggest to wait for the new cards to come out and see what people say about them. Let others “beta test” the cards to see what issues there are, if any with them. The 1070 is what I’ll be getting probably, then selling my 970 on ebay. You would for sure want to upgrade to at least 16 GB ram as well, the rest sounds good. And maybe an SSD if you don’t already have one. ---

I currently have an 128 GB SSD but I want a larger one for more games. I’ll look into getting more RAM and I’ll wait a few months after the new GPU release for information. But my CPU and monitor is fine? I’m assuming that I’ll need a new PSU. I’ll post what I got now when I get home. Thanks all. ---

Your cpu is still fine and I don’t think you need a new psu, the 16nm generation of gpu’s that nvidia and amd will introduce use less power. I wait for the gtx1070, it will be enough for hd and I’m not planning to go ultra HD at the moment. ---

Let others “beta test” the cards to see what issues there are, if any with them. I agree with this statement. You could even go for the 1070 if your budget is a not that much. I will probably stick with my GTX 970 a bit more. ---

I’m going to be waiting a few months to let the PC community put the cards to the test before I buy one. The 1070 is looking good but the 1080 is too. Arghh! #PCProblems ---

It makes a big difference if i go back on 60hz i get motion sickness. I’d give up gaming before returning to anything less than 120hz.
