Upgrade computer?

I currently have an Intel i5-6400 processor with a Medion H110H4-EM motherboard and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 graphics card. I use this PC to stream on YT and mainly play Minecraft. Unfortunately I have a maximum of 400 euro available. What can I do there?

What you want

The hardware is easily sufficient for Minecraft.
I wouldn't do an upgrade at the moment and I don't think it makes much sense with the existing components. Save your money and buy a whole new system in a year.

The processor will probably be enough for the next 3 years to play most games reasonably well. The graphics card is the bigger bottleneck. However, due to the global scarcity of graphics cards and the resulting comparatively high price, this upgrade is currently not recommended.

Basically, I would use used cards for a graphics card upgrade in this price range. They generally work quite reliably and you get a significantly better price / performance ratio.

Tl; dr: Wait another 6 months and then shoot an RTX 20XX card on Ebay classifieds or similar.

Do you think a 20XX is enough for Minecraft?

Relaxed. Even a 1060 6GB would be perfectly adequate.

Upgrading the PC is not really worth it. The components are currently pretty balanced. An upgrade would result in a bottleneck. And you can't upgrade the processor and graphics card for 400 euro.

You could upgrade the graphics card towards the GTX 1660.

A new, current CPU would also require a new mainboard. That would still work with 400 euro, but the old graphics card won't do you much good either.

Information on RAM and power supply would also be good.

If the process is not correct, gaming is rarely used. My process is about 15% faster than the i5 6400 and with Cyberpunk WQ max details it comes to maybe 55%, but the graphics card is 100% full.

Now is a bad time to upgrade.

For the 400 you get a 1660 Super so your PC should be enough for pretty much everything if you don't need more than FullHD.

The price of the 1660 super from half a year ago was only around 250 euro. Do you need to know if you're ready to give this up?

Cyberpunk WQ max details

It's clear that the graphics card is more busy…

Thanks for the tip, 32gb ram and 450W power supply

But even then, the process doesn't even break a sweat. The bad bootleneck doesn't even exist with this pro when he buys a 3060 Ti.

And I took that as an example because every other game I have needs even less pro-performance.
