PC too weak? Upgrade something?

My technology friends are in demand

I have a question and I would be incredibly happy for an answer. I try to express myself as clearly as possible.

The following: It is really slow when starting and using the PC, it almost feels like it needs to be cranked. In games that have quite high graphics requirements, such as GTAV or RDR2, the game runs incredibly smoothly and the CPU is usually in full swing. On average I achieve what is enough for me with medium settings at GTA 90FPS and 50FPS at RDR2.

In games like CS: GO, my FPS are much higher, even with high settings.

Again, I have the problem with Fortnite that the textures of certain objects and buildings do not load, I quite often have a still image that sometimes lasts 3-5 seconds. I have the graphics settings in this game on low and only the 3D resolution on full 100%. I'm the only one in the circle of friends with this problem and I can't find anything on the web either.

My hardware:

- Intel Core i5-6500 4x 3200MHz with an Alpine 11 Artic cooler

- MB is the Asus H110M Plus

- 16GB RAM DDR4

- Nvidia 1050ti 4GB

- 1TB SATA III hard drive

- Power supply is 500W LC-Power

Before you spend so much money on rebuilding or upgrading, maybe I would rather buy a new pc, then everything will work perfectly and you will have peace of mind.

Not bad in itself, I would only recommend an SSD. An SSD accelerates the PC tremendously and makes a big difference!

For example this one: https://www.amazon.de/...01D3ACIR6/ ÅMÅŽÕÑ & dchild = 1 & keywords = ssd + intenso + 240gb & qid = 1597527902 & sr = 8-3

Costs only 30 euro and has 240gb. Intenso SSDs are really good in terms of price-performance. But then you have to install your operating system on it, either reinstall it or move it from the HDD, there are videos too. You could then take your HDD as a mass storage device

I strongly recommend an SSD. The parts are ok. Typical entry level gaming pc from 2016. But you only have one HDD, which is of course excruciatingly slow, especially when os and games are not running separately.

It is probably the simplest solution, but my budget is not designed for a good mid-range PC, as I'm currently more busy at school.

no

Better to take Crucial or Kingston. Intenso is quite a garbage.

Un

I can't confirm that Intenso should be garbage. Many friends of mine, including those who work in the IT industry, have SSDs from Intenso and everyone is very satisfied.

As for starting: an SSD helps. Just install Windows on it and it's a different world.
A GTX 1660 Super would be conceivable as an upgrade to the current graphics card. There are already good custom models for <200 euro.

Ma

I will remember, but what about the bottleneck? Is it still okay with my CPU?

no

So in relation to the competition, I mean. The chips and controllers are just significantly worse than the competition. Access times are also relatively high.

ke

Is acceptable

Un

That may be, I don't know all the differences between different manufacturers exactly.

The graphics card won't work as well for the next few years.

4GB are already borderline.

Everything else is actually still possible again.

If I were you, I would first change the graphics card and then maybe later the CPU and the mainboard

Wi

I have it myself and I would recommend it as a beginner set up, but no longer for upgrading.

The next generation of consoles is coming out soon and the games will also need more graphics performance.

Ma

Thanks for your quick and concise answer! I'll remember

Wi

SSD goes without saying

Wi

But CPU is not a must. At least not now. If you're keen on fps, then maybe, but otherwise maybe should swap in the next 2-4 years, guess that's enough

Ma

Thanks for this detailed answer! Say the OS then move to the SSD and leave the rest on the current 1TB HDD?

Ma

As long as I get over 60FPS I'm satisfied.

Un

Exactly, that's how I would do it. If you want fast loading times, I would put bigger games on the SSD.

Here you have instructions:

Oh, you can simply connect the SSD directly to the mainboard with a SATA cable and then simply connect it instead of the HDD. To make it the easiest, after cloning you have to connect the SSD to the Sata port to which your HDD is currently connected, otherwise you have to change something in the BIOS.
