I have 0 tech knowledge about computer components and I have some issues playing games like Borderlands 3 or Fallout 76. I was wanting to find out what an optimal graphics card / CPU I need to have in order to run the games smoothly. Price range is 350$. I am currently using the AMD Ryzen 5 1400 Quad-Core Processor 4 Cores and the AMD Radeon(TM) RX 560 series. Would appreciate any constructive input. Thanks.
best GPU would be to buy a RX 580 4G for around 200€ // i have the Sapphire Nitro+ RX 580 4G - its a good card
your CPU would be fine - but you could look on ebay on a Ryzen 2600 or 2700 for around 100-150€
this wouldnt break your budget
YET you could also wait for the RX 6600XT - but your Ryzen 5 1400 would maybe bottleneck it :/
Buy an 8G card,not a 4G one,what motherboard are you using?
