Hey everyone! I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to PC hardware, so I'd appreciate any recommendations you might have. I built my PC a few years ago and I'm currently running an AMD Ryzen 5 5600x processor with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti graphics card. I mostly play League of Legends, but I recently started playing Oblivion Remastered and I've been experiencing crashes when trying to exit the sewers. I'd love some advice on what upgrades I should consider. Thanks in advance!

Honestly, you need to get a more modern GPU—that 1050 Ti is pretty outdated. Consider options like the RTX 4070 or RX 9070 if they’re within your budget. Those would really enhance your gaming experience!
You definitely want to swap out that GTX 1050 Ti for something more powerful. The minimum recommended GPU for Oblivion Remastered is a 1070 Ti, which is significantly better than what you have now. Pick the best GPU that fits your budget and can work with your power supply!
Sheesh, I didn't realize it was that bad... thanks for the tip!
What's your budget looking like? You'll want to prioritize a GPU upgrade since that's more critical than a CPU upgrade right now. You can look at models like the RTX 5060 Ti or maybe even a 4070 if it fits. It’s time to upgrade from that old entry-level card!
Unfortunately, I'm looking at a budget under $500. I might go for the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB as my first piece.
This made me laugh, I know it's severely lacking LOL. Appreciate the advice!
