Old parts upgrade for CSGO fps
Hello..

Ive got a very old DELL INSPIRON thats about 12 years old..

I only really play CS GO on it and have upgraded the PSU and a GPU on it, in order for the game to actually be playable (get around 110 fps on lowest settings)

i would get a completely new build, but there is just no point spending a lot of money just to play cs go

since ive already got an upgraded PSU and GPU, what if i buy a "motherboard bundle" off ebay, motherboard, RAM and a processor? for example (ASUS H81M-K - i3 4130 - 8GB RAM)

My current specs:
CPU -
AMD Athlon II X4 630 Processor

RAM -
6.00GB

Motherboard -
Dell Inc. 04GJJT (CPU 1)

Graphics -
2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti


Will upgrading my CPU, RAM and motherboard help me get more fps from my 750 ti?

Thanks

Do you have a CPU bottleneck? (GPU being less than 99%?)
If so, then yes, changing CPU to something better would provide an FPS boost.

Though, personally, I'd opt for a K CPU, and then buy a decent cooler and overclock too, see how far you can push it. That would make a noticeable impact to performance.

Edit ; fixed wording.

CSGO mostly rely on CPU performance. Upgrading your CPU might be the best choice. 6Gb RAM is enough to play the game, if u can upgrade to a better CPU for the same socket for your existing motherboard it would be cheaper.

P.S Hope this helps.:csgoct:

thank you, im not sure how to check for bottleneck but my CPU
AMD Athlon II X4 630
CPU 1, 1 CPU, 4 cores, 4 threads
2.8ghz
its very old and my graphics card is only like maybe 5 years old

Thank you, ive checked and i dont think my ancient motherboard can handle any big upgrades so guess ill get both new cpu and a motherboard

I know how capable the 750 Ti is, I had a 750 non-Ti.

Run MSI AB and use the overlay, see if the GPU usage is low/lower than 99% while playing. (Note, short/brief drops of a few percent are fine, but consistently lower is bad.)

Nothing you're gonna get for that motherboard is going to be worth anything in gaming. So I would opt for the upgrade, even an old i5 is a step up.

Though you could get a used Ryzen 1600/x/2600/x and B350/B450 board, and 2x4/2x8GB of RAM (at any speed.)
That would be better spent than on some older i5.
If you want to upgrade your existing rig try jumping to a quad core phenom with decent clocks as they are cheap.

If you have a MB that supports FX you might look into an FX-6 chip after a BIOS upgrade. I wouldnt push an AM3 board into FX8 territory though. Specialy an OEM one.

6GB is OK, and you wont see much benefit jumping to 8 over 6. But if you can get up to 12 or 16 that would give a decent boost to just about everything, though not neccisarily average FPS, in games it would help with minimum FPS and lag spikes.

A combo like that would be a decent upgrade, but I would stick to only i5 or better combos, or if you have a decent case with decent cooling and a decent PSU perhaps an FX-8350 combo if you find one cheap.

dont put doen more than 100-200 tops on any of these options, else you would be better off just buying all new at that point. 8GB ddr4 is ~ 30 bucks if you look around, an A320 bottom barrel AM4 board is 50 and an R5-2600 is 124. So unless you can find your upgrades for less than 200 going to an R5-2600/a320/8GB kit would be a *massive* upgrade...

thank you guys, think ive decided to just get a new case and basically build a whole new thing around my 750 ti!
Just build a new one.
Can't upgrade that.
