I want to upgrade to a R5 1500x and a gtx 1060.
Should i? I'm not very wealthy so i can not spend too much but are there better alternatives?
Also, specs thread i guess.
>>
>>389447568
Going from a 380 to a 1060 is not even an upgrade anon.
I'm still on a 290 and am not upgrading until I go 1440p/144Hz since it still maxes everything at the current resolution.
>>
>>389447686
From what i could see online a 1060 is quite a bit better than an r9 380. I can't max a lot of games and i want to save up for a vive which the 380 can't really hold steady good frames for a lot of games.
>>
>>389447686
Would an rx 570 be better to get than a 1060?
>>
>>389447914
480 or 580.
Prices might be high due to miner fags however.
>>
>>389448135
>379 yurobucks for a 580
Might be able to afford it in 3 months time.
>>
>>389448135
They don't sell 480 anymore where i am. Unless i look on ebay where it costs more than a new 580.
So i'll just save up for a 580 then.
>>
>>389448135
>480 or 580
So a card that's just as powerful would be better than a 1060? And at the same time it would be an upgrade over a 380, while the 1060 wouldn't, even if it's on average ~2% behind the 580 and ~5% ahead of the 480.
AMDfaggu pls.

>>389447568
1060 is fine, if you can get a 580 for msrp feel free to go for that.
A R5 1600 would be a better pick, but 1500x is fine. Alternatively you can just get a 4790k, even if you can't OC it's still a damn good CPU, plus you can keep your MB and RAM.
>>
>>389447568
>R5 1500x
Get a 1600
>>
I'm running a intel core 2 q8200 with a gtx 730. Had to because I was in a pinch


My new comp is going to be a i5 7500 with a gtx 1050ti
>>
>>389447568
You're fine on gpu, no need.
1500x is good but 1600 is the best value, you'll be happy with both but get 1600 if you can stretch a bit more
>>
Ok, so far i have adjusted the 1500x to a 1600 since the price difference is only 25 bucks.
The difference however between the 580 and 1060 is quite minimal and the price difference is around 150 so i'll be going for the cheaper 1060 most likely.
>>389448776
I disagree, the gpu is pretty good for sure but i already feel myself lagging behind and getting fps below 60 on 1080p on newer games which is not acceptable for me to be honest.
>>
>>389448662
Get a 1060/570 at least.
>>
>>389449109
Why? A 1060 is like another 100 dollars in price, is it that much better?

I'm throwing it into a budget computer for 1000$ anyways. Monster build will follow in 3-4 years
>>
>>389449226
>throwing it into a budget computer for 1000$
Are you telling me the best you can get for a 1000$ is a locked i5 and a 1050Ti?
Are these Venezulean faux dollars or something?
>>
>>389447568
You'd need to replace the entire motherboard to get the CPU to work. Just find a cheap, used i5 or even i7 from the same 4000-series, and enjoy great performance for the next 5+ years.

GTX 1060 6GB is 100% worth it. Just got mine last week, upgrading from the 6 years old GTX 560ti. Every game seems to run at steady 60fps, all Ultra'd, at 1920x1200.
>>
>>389449287
With the way everything is inflated beyond 1050ti, and the build in general, yes. What would you do?
>>
>>389449397
Bought a 1060 minimum.
>>
>>389449426
Again, that's a 150-200$ price difference on GPU alone. Is a 1060 THAT much better than a 1050ti?
>>
>>389449381
I know i have to replace the motherboard, i'm getting a an ASRock A320M Pro 4. To be honest it seems like i'm off cheaper with this and a 1600 than a second hand i7 somewhere. They go up to 380 bucks real fast while spending 288 on new mobo and cpu this way.
>>
>>389449514
Even my r9 380 is better than a 1050ti so yes the 1060 is that much better.
>>
>>389449514
Here you go.
~1000$, not poverty tier.
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/62T47h
>>
>>389449598
You forgot RAM.
16 GB DDR4 at decent speed is 140$ minimum.
>>
>>389449598
>A320M
Under no circumstances ever get a A320 board.
That's for office PC's.
>>
>>389449598
You'd also need to get new RAM, and in worst case scenario also new PSU. Yeah, it'd be a total overhaul.

I'd personally just find a good deal on an i5's K-model. My good ol' i5 2500 (non-K) has yet to bottleneck ANYTHING, and later on I'll prolly swap it for the 3000-series' i7 (it uses same socket).
>>
>>389449598
Get yourself a B350 motherboard. I think the MSI B350 Tomahwak is one of the better price/performance in that range.
>>
>>389449756
I'll take this into consideration, thanks for taking the time
>>
>>389449938
>My good ol' i5 2500 (non-K) has yet to bottleneck ANYTHING
You don't need to lie anon.
>>
>>389449993
You're right, I don't.
I'm rocking perfect 60fps in all games now with the gtx1060.
>>
Soo would an i5-4460 be good as an upgrade?
I forgot about needing to upgrade ram aswell and it's becoming too much with that included.

getting an i5-4460 and a gtx 1060 seems like a good deal and a decent upgrade.
>>
>>389450474
Get an i7.
Either a 4790 or 4790k.
>>
>>389450569
That costs wayyyy more though.
I'll be using this pc for 4-5 years more or so and anything is better than my i3. the i7 is 323 versus 176 for the i5. I'm a pretty poor student my man. Take that into consideration.
>>
>>389450680
then get the k version i5 and overclock it. the i7 will last longer though and be WAY better in games. it's the only upgrade you need to make right now though, so also take that into consideration.
>>
>>389450474
It would be.
I'd grab a 4690K if possible. Better + actual OC capability.
>>
>>389450680
>using this pc for 4-5 years more
Another reason to go for an i7.
You can get a used one, you do realize that right?
Last year I sold my 4670k + Asus Z87-A mobo + 8 GB DDR3 for ~250$, I'm sure you can get a 4790k for 200 or less.
>>
>>389447568
>>389447743
If you're not very wealthy don't even bother thinking about first-gen VR.
>>
>>389449514
I upgraded from my 770 to the 1060 and the 770 has about the same amount of horsepower as the 1050ti.
>>
>>389450751
>>389450771
He can't overclock on his bargain bin motherboard, look at the Speccy.

>>389450839
yes he can
>>
Ok, so i'm going to get a 4790k and the new gpu can take a backseat for now. Sounds good?
>>
>>389451003
Ehm, """OC Genie""" != overclocing
It's still a B85 board, at best you can touch BCLK, no multiplier adjustments.
>>
>>389451179
or a regular 4790 because of my mobo?
>>
>>389451225
Nevermind, my mobo does not support overclocking so a regular 4790 it is.
>>
>>389451225
You can use a 4790k no problem, just can't OC.
The K model has higher base/turbo by 400 Mhz.

Finally got a job so i could participate in theese threads.
>>
>>389451184
Ah, you're right. my bad, forgot about that.

well overall I think the non-k i7 would be way better and overall a cheaper upgrade than something else considering all the newer systems nowadays are DDR4.

I seriously hope you actually need the 8 cores and didn't just get cucked into buying Ryzen by /g/'s AMD shills.
>>
>>389451540
Yeah i do quite alot of work in 3D so its really really nice.
>>
>>389452531
In that case it's a really good choice.
