Hi, I don't know much about computers regarding upgrading etc. So I'm hoping a post on here with my computer spec and a budget can hopefully help someone steer me in the right direction.
Budget wise, nothing massively expensive, but can spend a bit, I am not a big PC gamer, but on the occasion I like to play something I'd like it to run fairly smoothly.
At present, my computer struggles to run Oldschool runescape efficiently. But thats just one example.
Processor - AMD A10-5800K APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics, 3800 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)
Ram : 8gb
Graphics Card - I assume its build into the processor?
Again, please don't mock me, I'm not very clued up on this stuff, would a better graphics card scratch my itch?
As mentioned, the main uses for it are a bit of light gaming (Runescape, Sims, Roller coaster Tycoon), i also sometimes play my Playstation 2 Emulator (PCSX2) but this runs poorly due to my low specs I assume.
I had this computer custom built for me, no Less than 10 years ago now. And.. at the time, it ran quite well, but overtime its performance has dropped significantly. At its peak I was able to run most games from Steam, at pretty high settings, but not anymore.
If I'm missing any other important information, please do advise.
Thank you in advance.
Joe
