Hey everyone! I got this gaming tower from my parents when I was 16, and I'm really thankful for it, especially since it was the last gift from my dad before he passed away. Now that I'm 21, I've noticed it's struggling with newer games. I'm not super familiar with what parts I need to upgrade. Here are my current specs:
- Operating System: Windows 10
- CPU: Intel Core i5-10400F @ 2.90GHz
- RAM: 8 GB
- Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 (4 GB VRAM)
The main game I want to play is Inzoi, which I bought in pre-release, but it lags so much. I'd love any advice on which parts to upgrade to improve performance. As for my budget, ideally, I want to keep it under $1,500, but if something better costs more, I can save up for that!

To get started, you should check out the requirements for Inzoi. The minimum specs suggest you need at least an Intel i5 10400 or an AMD Ryzen 5 3600, along with 12 GB of RAM. Your current setup only has 8 GB of RAM and a GTX 1650, which is below the recommended spec. It might be worth looking into an upgrade to at least an NVIDIA RTX 2060, which will give you a significant boost in performance.
The easiest and most impactful upgrades for your budget would be to increase your RAM and get a new graphics card. With your current setup, it’s wise to look for a card like the RTX 2060 for budget or an RTX 3070 for high-end performance. What’s your budget looking like?
Honestly, I’m open to suggestions, whatever you think is best! What would you recommend for both budget and high-end options?
