Hello one and All!
So, Omsi maps are getting bigger and better: great news for us as players but not-so-good for hardware, which in my case is struggling to keep up.
More often than not, I'm finding that maps I install simply don't perform as well as I would like them to (admittedly, I have high standards!) so I've decided a PC upgrade might be in order.
Here are my current specifications:
It's a thoroughly decent machine, but an upgrade could help me enjoy the very best of Omsi.

I've got a budget of, say, £150 (maybe more) for the upgrade - would people be able to recommend whether it would be wiser to upgrade my processor (to an i7 - I'm sure i could find one at a suitable price) or upgrade the graphics card, which on paper is the weakest element of the PC?
Is it correct that OMSI is much more CPU intensive than GPU intensive?
Thanks for any advice,
Joseph.
