    Should I upgrade my PC or should i wait a little longer.

    I bought a PC back in December of 2016 for about $500 (I know it was a budget pc). Basically I just want to know how long the PC could survive before needing an upgrade to play new Triple-A games on their lowest graphic.

    you don't have a dedicated gpu? Maybe you can play some AAA games at lowest settings and low resolution. I would still recommend buying a new gpu. I don't know your budget but maybe 1070?

    Damn, I knew it has something to do with the GPU Thanks for helping me.

    Edit: Fuck me, the GPU is almost as expensive as the PC itself.

    You definetly need a dedicated GPU, iGPU's are bad thermally and performance wise. Currently GPU prices are skyrocketed because of cryptomining so you may want to wait a bit but here is 2 budget GPU's that will hold up for a few years at least. NVIDIA 1050ti or the NVIDIA 1060
    Please press "Thanks" or "Add to Reputation" if I bought, sold, or helped you.

    Sounds like it. Investing in an SSD or some more RAM might be helpful as well. But if you're trying to game, GPU is really the only thing holding you back.

    Doh
    If you get a gpu make sure you are not overpaying thanks to the crypto miners.

    Grab yourself a 1050ti or 1060 depending on the budget.
