Sorry to make one of these threads but i haven't looked at of parts in years. current pc was built 6years ago and components are showing their age

Have a 1400-1600 budget but will spend less if y'all can find a build that will meet my needs.

I want to play fps games on high and stream. Dual 1080p monitors preferred.

Current has a i5 2500k and nvidia 970 and I get real bad fps drop if too much is happening on my screen at once in overwatch

I don't currently have an ssd and would like information on that too.

cheers

Just upgrade to 1080 and done. CPU is fine, OC for IPC increase.

That should not be happening to you on Overwatch. My GF runs Overwatch at 100 FPS with a 970. She has a newer CPU but something doesn't sound right.

How much RAM do you have OP?

I was having Overwatch issues with a GTX 980. Would not go above 40 FPS.

I did a complete uninstall and reinstall of the game including the local settings, then did a clean install of the GPU driver and I was back to 140+fps

I have an OCd 3258 and 7950 right now (playing on medium settings), and I don't get less than 60 fps EVER in game

update: I lied, its a 760 not a 970

I knew it had a 7 in it
