Looking to get a new GPU.... Is there anything else I'd need to upgrade?
I got a prebuilt cyberpower pc in middle school. About 5 years ago, I upgraded pretty much everything except the power supply. I'm a gamer who also likes to stream sometimes and I noticed my GPU is at its limits with certain games (Ex. Baulders Gate 3 uses like 90% of my GPU when it fluctuates) causing me to be unable to reliably have other software running at the same time without any occasional lag (OBS and Vtubing stuff).
What's a good GPU to get as an upgrade? Do any of my other parts need to be upgraded as well? Any suggestions would be much appreciated
Here's my current build (the case listed isn't the actual case I'm using. I couldn't find the prebuilt cyberpower case in pc partpicker)
