Desktop PC Upgrade Guide: GPU, RAM & PSU

Upgrading Smartly Without Overspending

Upgrading a modular desktop PC is far cheaper than buying an entirely new system. Identifying bottlenecks ensures you get the highest frame rate boost per rupee spent.

Upgrade Order of Priority:

  1. Add an M.2 NVMe SSD: If your system still boots off a mechanical hard drive (HDD), an SSD upgrade reduces boot time from 2 minutes to 8 seconds.
  2. Upgrade Graphics Card (GPU): Adding an RTX 3060 or 4060 transforms an office PC into a high-frame-rate 1080p gaming machine.
  3. Upgrade Power Supply Unit (PSU): Ensure your PSU delivers enough 12V rail wattage and PCIe power connectors for your new GPU.
