Is i5 4460 good for gaming?

Sharan165 · Sep 15, 2014

I have decided to make a gaming pc in India

Configs

Intel i5-4460 at 3.2 GHZ
Msi geforce 750ti 2GB OC
Msi B85M-G43 motherboard
Seagate 1TB HDD
Corsair 1x8GB DDR3 RAM
Corsair vs450/cx500 psu

Is the CPU and GPU good?

Plaza suggest me if something better!

Budget--50000. INR

Sharan165 · Sep 15, 2014

My GPU use for mainly FIFA games and budget is around 13k

Buy a R9 270x, you'll get one at that price and it is better than 750ti.

Yes its a great CPU for gaming, won't bottleneck any GPU and is enough for comfortable FPS on any game maxed out.

Go with 2X4GB config for RAM, the MoBo is DIMM meaning it runs optimally in pairs of sticks.

Also, avoid Corsair CX/ VS/ CS/ builder series for PSUs, they're low quality, this PSU is better:

GPU is good for high-ultra gaming with ~40 FPS, you can go with 27 265 or 270 for something better, it'll be slightly better than 750 Ti.

Is 450w psu ok?

Sharan165 · Sep 15, 2014

Even for r9 270x?

The CPU looks good. For the motherboard I would suggest an H97 board so it will be compatible with future Intel releases such as Broadwell.
For the GPU, the car you selected is 2 GB but its stretched across a 128bit rate. I would suggest a R9 270x card which is a 256bit card, you will get much better performance:

For the memory, if you select a pair of 4GB sticks it will give you better performance because it will allow the memory to run in duel channel mode.

The power supply is ok. it could be better but if you are not overclocking it should serve your needs.

Sharan165 :

Your CPU tdp isnt much, so its should be fine.

Sharan165 · Sep 15, 2014

Should I go with antec 550w psu?

DHFF · Sep 15, 2014

I didnt notice the power supply was only 450. you might want to try this unit, it has a much better reputation and will give you more power.

Yes indeed 450W is fine, wattage matters but quality is even more essential, Corsair's capacitors of those series melt easily, hence not great for high load. VP has much better capacitors and would be good enough for 270X.

MeteorsRaining · Sep 16, 2014

Sharan165 :

Even better, you won't have to worry about PSU unless you get something like 290 then

Sharan165 · Sep 16, 2014

Duff d psu which u suggested is out of my budget

Sharan165 · Sep 16, 2014

Sharan165 · Sep 16, 2014

I was suggested to go with i3 4130 shld I do it?

IchigoKurosaki · Sep 16, 2014

Give me 5 minutes, and ill get a rough draft pc in Flipkart for your budget.
PS: Do you need peripherals or you have them?

MeteorsRaining · Sep 16, 2014

Sharan165 :

Nope, that's a downgrade from i5 for nothing great, it'll cap you to 270X/280 as any better GPU will be bottlenecked and it isn't the one which can max out any CPU intensive game either. i5 is the way to go for any good budget gaming build

Sharan165 · Sep 16, 2014

I prefer nvidia but shld I still go with ati?

Jason H. · Sep 16, 2014

Great Choice

Sharan165 · Sep 16, 2014

No I don't have d peripherals

MeteorsRaining · Sep 16, 2014

Nothing bad in Radeon either, it Solid value/money for budget users, Nvidia has some good better features and better drivers, but I wouldn't sacrifice i5 for that.

Sharan165 · Sep 16, 2014

So any better nvidia?

MeteorsRaining · Sep 16, 2014

GTX 760 or the upcoming GTX 960, both are substancially more expensive than Radeons of the same power.
