Should I Upgrade?

[mgreco712]

Wanting to get Fallout 4 in November and want to play on a high setting. I currently have an AMD Radeon 7850 in my desktop. I think it's decent but not sure if I'll get the performance out of it I'm looking for.

what's your budget? i recommend a gpu upgrade if you want higher settings

my guess is a 290x/390x would be best experience at 1080p ultra settings, or 970/980 on nvidia's side. which will run you $300-500

 

[mgreco712]

Probably the $300-$400 range.

i'd go for a gtx 970 or if you dont mind something with a little more heat and power consumption the radeon 390 is around the same price, but has more vram.

I'm guessing I'll have to upgrade my power supply as well. It's 600W, I believe.

600W should be okay depending on the brand.

It's a Corsair CX600.

You're fine.

You're fine.

Do you mean my current build is fine or my power supply is fine for the card I linked?

i'd upgrade it. power supply should be fine for any single gpu
