I want to upgrade

[DeeJayVee92]

Hi, basically, I'm heavily modding Skyrim and right now I'm running 115 mods including Project ENB.

I currently run the game (outside of dungeons) at around 17-20 FPS, which is playable but not optimal. I want to upgrade my computer to have better FPS but as I'm not completely coherent in computer tech, I'm not sure which parts i should be thinking of upgrading.

I would appreciate your help, thank you.

 

 

*Now that I'm at home, I can edit my parts list

 

Motherboard; Gigabyte H97-Gaming 3

GPU; Geforce GTX 750 TI 2g

Processor; i5-4690

PS; GX550 eXtreme power

16g ram

You will need a better GPU and a better psu.

You're probably running too many mods. The game doesn't run too well that way.

Your PSU is a passable 2010 model. It can hold a little more GPU power.

 

That said, I guess your 750Ti is a recent buy, they're pretty new? You need a more powerful card like GTX970. Nothing more, nothing less.

Yeah, it was a new buy, within 3 months or so.

 

Well, all the mods worked, I just had low fps, I did a fresh install of my mods and took out the most fps hungry ones, I am now at 108 mods and I'm running at 45/60 FPS, so I'll buy a new GPU and hopefully be able to hold those extra fps eaters, thanks ^^

If your GTX 750Ti comes with MSI Afterburner (ie.it can be overclocked), your rig should generally be satisfactory until in high or ultra résolutions. I have the MSI GTX 750 Ti OC edition with 2Gb if GDDR5 on a Pci-E slot and it works fine for me.
