I need to upgrade my PC because UE4 isn’t running very smooth. I personally think it is the graphics card, but I would like to know what (else) I could upgrade best. I right now have:
- ASUS Z87-A ([link][1])
- ASUS nvidia geforce gt610 2GD3 ([link][2])
- Intel core i5-4440 3.10GHz (couldn’t find link)
- 8GB RAM (forgot from which company)
- 500W**
- 1 TB storage**
- DVD/CD player/writer**
** I don’t think this needs an upgrade (but I could be wrong)
I would like to know what I should upgrade and to what, without having it cost too much, as I don’t have a lot of money. I would also like to get something that wouldn’t need me to upgrade again in a year (or two), so if it does cost more money because of that then it will be that way.
Hope anyone can help 
If you prefer to see the specs in a pic:

Well if you plan to work with C++, SSD drive speeds up compiling. Also GPU upgrade would be good, you have low end version of GPU, i think it’s your main bottleneck
Thank you for the answer! I will upgrade to SSD, and I’ll upgrade the GPU. Do you have any suggestions to what I should upgrade? I want something not too expensive ( I just don’t have the money for one of those $1100 cards) but on the other hand I would like to keep using it for a few years. Hope its not too much to ask .
Hi RRR3000,
If you do a google search for some quality graphics cards out there you’ll find something within your price range. I personally picked up a GTX-750-TI with 2gb ram at Tiger Direct for 170.00ish. It’s been working significantly better than my GTX-470 with 1gb of ram. The more ram your GPU the more exponentially the price will jump. Adding more RAM is always a plus as well!
Take a look online and look at some benchmarks with the GPUs and see what interests you most.
Good luck!
Tim
Thank you for the answer! I’ll get one of those.
