Hi.
I am new to this so please excuse my ignorance.
I have a low-end gaming PC and would like to upgrade so that I can play more graphically demanding games and am wondering if it is possible to do so without having to buy a completely new pc.
As it stands I can run only VALORANT smoothly. Even with that when I try to run anything in the background even discord I get massive frame drops.
Basically what I am asking is, can I upgrade say the RAM and graphics card to solve these problems? If so what would you recommend?
Thanks in advance.
This is my current setup:
Operating System
Windows 10 Home 64-bit
CPU
Intel Core i5 7400 @ 3.00GHz 74 °C
Kaby Lake 14nm Technology
RAM

Motherboard
MSI H110M PRO-VD PLUS (MS-7A15) (U3E1) 74 °C
