    Hi,

    I built my first and only gaming PC about 5 years ago and since then have only upgraded the HD to an SDD. It is really struggling with games such as battlefield 1 and battlefront and I am looking for upgrade recommendations. I am wondering should I replace the CPU, GPU, power supply and upgrade ram or buy a whole new desktop as a package? My budget is around 1000 euros. My current of specs are as below. I also intend to upgrade to Windows 10. Any recommendations on where and what to buy would be great. The last time I bought off hardwareversand.
