    Should I upgrade for Fallout 4?

    Motherboard: H77MA-G43
    Video card: GeForce GTX 650 Ti (I think it's 2GB, with 2GB shared video memory)
    Ram: 8 GB (can't remember the speeds)
    Processor: i5-3350P @3.1 GHz (I think it's 4 core)

    Sorry for any vagueness. Just wondering if I really need to bother upgrading before getting Fallout 4, and if so, what should I upgrade without having to replace my motherboard?

    Why not get FO4 first, see how it plays, and judge for yourself?

    Granted, I'm pretty sure that at medium/high settings it will run a bit sluggish with that setup, but different people have different tolerances for gameplay.

    Agreed. If you're going to be getting Fallout 4 anyway, why not just get it now and see how it plays for you? If you don't like it, buy new stuff.

    I don't know if I'm getting it anyway. I might wait for a sale when it's not so new, or there's a chance I'll be getting a PS4 before the end of the year, and if it will look better on that than on my setup, I might just get it on console.
