PC Peripherals Spot the Bottleneck : Minor Iterative upgrade needed ?

[! 0 t A]

Hi TE,

Need your help - Can you spot the bottleneck in my setup - I somehow do not get the performance that people usually get out of a GTX 1060 -I am a casual 1080p gamer with occasional video editing.

CPU : Intel i7 3770 (3.40 GHZ)
Mobo : Gigabyte B75M-D3H (Ivy Bridge)
RAM : Kingston 4 x 2 = 8 GB (Dual Channel)
GC : Zotax 1060 6GB
PSU : Cooler Master Silent Pro 600W (80 Plus)

Whats the basic upgrade i should go for and avoid a complete overhaul ?

Budget : INR 15,000 from the second hand market / new.

I don't find any component causing bottleneck.
Just fyi..

I see - Maybe its the RAM - ill try and push it to 16 GB ?

no it doesnt bottleneck . just chck that temperatures of both gpu & cpu if they are high they could throttle

When I play Apex - I see that my RAM is at 90%+ usage - so mayne that is one of the issues.

I'll check on temperatures - but I have good airflow so that should be fine.

upgrade your ram uotill 16 bg i see many DDR3 being sold in the forum make sure both the ram sticks have same frequency and timings

average how many frames do you get while playing apex? I'm not too sure how much of a better performance you will get if you upgrade your ram with an extra 4 or 8 gigs (you need like minimum 12gb for warzone) but apex most people have seen maximum only around 7 gigs but it depends on what settings your running on

Do note that this benchmark uses the ryzen 7.
