    Upgrading my system

    Hi all, hope you are safe and healthy.

    I have a Pc that I built myself some years ago. I keep upgrading some parts, but overall it´s an ok system.
    My needs are nothing special, I play some of the lates games sometime. But mostly I play league of legends and you all know that lol can go even on a toaster.
    My problem right now comes with the size of my system, I ve been looking and dreaming around mini-pcs or micro itx, but they are all expensive and since this is a hard year for everybody I just wish to keep most of my money. I think that what I need comes to a small case, Rpg not required, that I can keep on my desk without the feeling to be cluttered.
    And more, what would you upgrade next in my system? Thanks in advice!

    The specs are:

    Motherboard: Z390 AORUS ULTRA
    Processor : i5-8400 CPU @ 2.80GHz, 2808 Mhz, 6 Core(s), 6 Logical Processor(s)
    RAM : 16 gb Gskill
    Storage : 250gb m.2
    PowerUnit : Corsair CX750m
    GPU :Windforce GTX 970

    Welcome to PCHF DarkVIsor,

    The miniature PC I can`t help you with unless we have a maximum budget to work to but your present PSU I would upgrade the CPU, GPU and the PSU.

    You don`t mention the speed of the present RAM but if it is slower than 2666MHz that needs to go as well.

      Thanks for the answer but pratically you would change everything AHHAHA
      I repeat I don´t think I need anything special/powerhouse, I just need a little system that let me try some of the future games, and let me play league of legends.
      As a Budget I would think around 500-600€ its what I can afford.

        Sorry but you asked a question and were given an honest answer, the alternative being that you either stick with what you have or just change the GPU and the PSU and risk a bottleneck.

        For less than €600 you can something like the unit here which is fine for LoL but unfortunately not for all future games, reason being you have no way of knowing what any future games will require hardware wise + these type of PC are very limited spec wise due to the lack of power and room for any add on GPU.
