Hello there

Specs of my desktop are as follows
H97M-G43 Msi Motherboard
TSXFX 450 watt psu
I5 4460 3.2ghz cpu
Geforce gtx 750ti gpu
HyperX fury 2x4gb ram
500GB hdd
Micro atx fractal design core 1000 mini tower

I recently started using my PC again and when running the new Call of Duty, (warzone mainly)the game runs around 60fps but get awful stutters at the start of the game during gunfights. I believe this is to do with the gpu as it is quite dated and on the can you run it site it does not meet minimum requirements. If i am right in saying this (also thought about ram too be aswell going to 16gb soon id imagine) what gpu would you recommend? I quite enhoy nvidia geforce cards so would like to stick with them. Basically looking for a more up to date card that can handle running games such as cod warzone, gta v etc. Graphics dont matter all about smooth running tbh. Is 200GBP enough to get something decent nowadays? Any help appreciated.
Just a little side note my build was put together back in 2015 with help from members on this forum had to make a new account, i apologise in advance if i have missed any info but just ask if i have. Cheers

You could look for a used rx 570/580 / gtx 1060/1050ti in that range. Though personally i would grab a SSD. That would be an instant load boost.

I would avoid upping your RAM and just building a new budget system. Can reuse some stuff to cut the corners with pricing.

Thank you my man seen plenty of both those within my budget. What bits of my build you say are outdated massively? I know in the recent years ryzen cpus have become prominent, seen a lot of people using them but back when i built mine seemed like intel was king.

Really need an ssd just been avoiding it sinply because i know i would need to re-install my os again.

You can actually prep your OS (sysprep & write the image to a USB or just write it to the SSD once plugged in) to be written to an SSD key and all. Just driverless to avoid migratiing issues.

Yes they system is outdated, though for your use case unless you're struggling heavily on frames it should be fine. Though if you wanted to push for a new system you could always check this out and we can try to help out.

Yeah had a wee look and saw about cloning it to another drive writing directly from hdd to ssd so went ahead and purchased an ssd today. Currently bidding on a gtx 1060 6gb so hopefully can win that and get going with it. Cheers for help will have a look!

£200 is GTX 1660 Super territory, which will match a GTX 1070(Ti).

6GB GTX 1060/RX 580's are matched by the GTX 1650 Super, and should be well under 120 quid on the used market now. In fact, it's pretty easy to find RX 580's for 80ish quid.

Where did you find the rx580 for 80ish? Got any links? Just been scouring ebay. Found some cracking deals but none as low as that. But thanks for input now have many options to go for appreciate it my man!

"6GB GTX 1060/RX 580's... should be well under 120 quid on the used market now"

I can't really link you a specific one right now, but I've seen plenty of them go on Gumtree, Facebook, and /r/hardwareswapUK for under £100. I don't use eBay too much personally, but I'm sure that's a good bet for cheap 580's as well.
