I recently purchased a PC for $260, and I'm trying to figure out if it was a smart buy. Here are the specs:
- CPU: i5 3570
- GPU: GTX 1060 3GB
- RAM: 16GB DDR3
- Storage: 1TB HDD + 256GB SSD
I'm also looking for advice on what upgrades I can make to ensure it runs Warzone smoothly. Any thoughts?

Honestly, at that price, it's a bit concerning. While the specs aren't terrible, the i5 3570 and GTX 1060 might struggle with newer games like Warzone, especially in higher settings. I’d recommend looking into upgrading your GPU, maybe to something like a GTX 1660 Super or even a newer RTX card if you can stretch your budget. Also, consider adding more RAM if you can find a good deal on DDR4.
I think the storage setup is decent for now, but if you're looking for performance in Warzone, focus on your GPU first. The 1060 is starting to show its age. A CPU upgrade would be useful too, but it has to be compatible with your motherboard. Check if your motherboard supports newer i7 or i9 processors for a solid performance boost.
Yea, compatibility is key. Would also upgrading to a faster SSD help with load times in games?
What about upgrading just the CPU to something newer? Would that help enough?
