Hello!
I have been thinking about upgrading my PC for a while now, and I have been talking to some friends about what I should do for it, but I'm not sure that I trust them cosidering they are not experts in this field.
I'm planning on upgrading my computer with a MSI GeForce GTX 950 graphics card and a EVGA 500W power supply. I am also considering getting a new processor, but I don't want to if I wouldn't need to.
I am using the PC to play video games(Arma II in particular).
Would I be able to upgrade my computer? And do I need a new processor?
Thank you.
