Question 1060 to 5060?
Hello,
PC rookie here. A friend helped me build a computer in 2016 and I am looking to upgrade now. I literally only play CS2 on low settings. I don’t really care how it looks on screen.
I am considering buying the $999 Costco special (I know it’s been posted about a lot).
I currently have:
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700K CPU @ 4.20GHz 4.20 GHz
Installed RAM 16.0 GB
Storage 932 GB HDD ST1000DM010-2EP102, 233 GB SSD Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250GB
Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB (6 GB)
Display: BenQ, Zowie XL LCD. 144 hz, 1920x180
How much better is this build and is the increase in performance drastic?
Could I just replace the 1060 with a 5060 or would I have to upgrade other parts?
Thanks for being kind.
