Which was a 500w Thermaltake. And then went and picked up a new video card too.. a Evga GeForce SC Ultra GTX 1650 Super. I ended up having to make some modifications to make it fix. But, I've enjoyed it so far. The lag I was experiencing the past few month have been ridiculous. I've ended up playing World of Warcraft classic sense the lag wasn't as noticeable on there.

Something worries me about the second picture. The motherboard seems to be quite old judging by the colour of it. The 1650 is a new enough card Can you confirm what your CPU is? Awards

Just a basic PC that came with a low end GeForce card. Nothing too dope, just the basics. I'm like the cab driver on Total Recall, "Come on man, I got 4 kids at home." Later in the movie..

I do considerably better when I find a good camping spot vs running around. Especially on brighter maps than dark woody maps, I cannot see that well on the forest type maps. I don't think there is an SSD slot on this motherboard. Is there a USB version? Lol really though I think it would run better with a better CPU. However, I dont think I will upgrade this anymore. Would be better off saving for a custom build. Awards

Hey Sikon, Would definitely get an ssd, the difference is night and day. You could always get it and then reuse it in any future custom build anyway. You could go the cheaper route and get a smaller one and put the operating system and any frequently used files/programs on it like Cod and keep the current hard drive for extra storage, or go with a larger one and just put it all on there, they are fairly cheap now, this is what I went for a few years ago. You get the added bonus that the computer is really quiet as you don't have the old mechanical hard drive noises. When I switched mine out a few years ago all I did was clone the old hard drive onto the new one, didn't have to reinstall anything. Your computer will take a traditional ssd with a sata interface, here is an example of upgrades for "Aspire AT3-710-UR56" on the Crucial site : https://www.crucial.com/compatible-upgrade-for/acer/aspire-t3-710-ur56 It just looks like you can't get the newer m2 versions but rest assured traditional hard drive to normal ssd is still a huge difference.

The actual drive version didn't even come to mind. As far as noise.. My pc was hella loud prior to replacing these two items. Practically sounded like the fans engaging on an 92 Honda Civic on summer day in Death Valley! And there's not much exaggeration when i say that. Now however, i can barley hear it or even tell that it is running now. My PC is slow at loading larger programs that use a lot of resources, but once they are loaded. It generally runs fairly smooth. With MW 2019 being the exception. I have noticed occasionally the entire system will freeze when 'quiting to desktop'. My kids mostly play that, so I'm not sure if that has changed sense i replaced the PS and GPU. Edited September 1, 2020 by Sikon Sharpe 1 Awards

A 480 or 500g SSD is big enough for GTA 5 @ 100gb and Call of Duty Warzone @ 225gb+ and Win 10 and you MIGHT be able to get COD4 on it as well. There are both excellent choices. I have 2 250gb SSDs in my rig and I don't have enough room to install and update COD Warzone. 250gb https://www.newegg.com/samsung-860-evo-series-250gb/p/N82E16820147676 and 500gb https://www.newegg.com/samsung-860-evo-series-500gb/p/N82E16820147674 No joke your computer will feel like a whole different animal with just a cheap 240-250gb SSD. My Windows loads up completely in between 8-10 seconds seconds with a bunch of crap running at startup. Maps on COD4 load in something like 2-3 seconds. I could only imagine how fast a PCIe M.2 SSD would be, There supposed to be more than 4x faster. My motherboard has 2 slots for M.2 drives but I can't afford to buy the new SSDs yet.I want to get a 1tb drive but the 1 that I want is $180. Awards
