So as of recently I've been having this weird problem with my computer/monitor. Whenever I first turn my computer on the monitor light is lit up showing its plugged into a power outlet but sometimes when I turn my computer on the monitor shows nothing. To fix this I usually just turn my computer off, remove the dvi-d cable from the back of my computer and blow on it and plug it back in and usually doing that once or twice fixes it and I'm really not sure what's the problem. I thought it might just be the dvi-d cable so I bought a brand new one but its still happening. I've been told that it could possibly be my graphics card or my motherboard (most likely my graphics card though). I'm really not sure which one it is but its most likely my graphics card. If you have any idea feel free to post in thread or add me on steam
I'm also looking to upgrade most parts in my computer as it is very old and runs like shit and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for good cheap gaming graphics cards as well as a cheap motherboard, cpu, ram, power supply, and case. I need parts that will run overwatch/tf2 and most games at 120 fps+ because currently I get 30-40 fps in overwatch with big fps lag spikes and tf2 usually runs fine but with like every update i lose 10 fps.
My Current Setup: (my pc is about 8 or 9 years old as well as all the parts inside except for my cpu is about 6 or 7 years old)
Motherboard: Intel DG41TY
Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 @ 2.33 GHz
RAM: 4 GB
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460
Monitor: ViewSonic VX2265wm 120Hz
Power Supply: 500w I'm pretty sure
I have about 400-500$ I got for Christmas that i'm wanting to spend on parts and I don't know where I should start, I'm probably going to start with a new case and power supply but after that I'm just unsure if I should try to get a graphics card first and hope it'll work with my old parts for now or if I should get a new cpu,motherboard, and ram and get a new graphics card down the road and hope my 460 will last me. I've been looking at this cpu: https://www.amazon.com/Intel-Skylake-Desktop-Processor-BX80662I56600K/dp/B012M8M7TY/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1482794989&sr=1-1&keywords=i5+6600k and been thinking about getting this cpu but still not sure.
Feel free to add me on steam if you can help me out at all. Thanks!
