I bought a vanquish 2 level 1 for Christmas last year and am looking to get some upgrades for it this year. I am not experienced with hardware, I'm better at dealing with software, so please use as simple words as possible to tell me how to get more memory, ram, faster speed and everything that makes a vanquish 2 level 1 into a level 3 or 4.

I don't remember the specs, meaning CPU, graphics card, of the Vanquish a year ago, but in most cases, a graphics card upgrade is the most bang for your buck and easiest to do. Consider a gtx 970 if you're gaming on a 1080p monitor.

What's the system specs and your budget?

i agree.  graphics card and a great new monitor are the #1 and #2 choices to make first regarding upgrade priority for gaming.

Hi DaltonL2000,

You really need to tell us the specs of your computer. If I remember right you don't have a SSD and you might have a AMD CPU. I also seem to remember that the Level 1 doesn't have an Overclock. I think there are several things you might consider but need to know what you have for sure.

The very least I would do is the GPU upgrade already suggested.

Frank
