Build is fine? Getting a RX 480 or 1060?

dexxterlab97 · Jul 27, 2016

Mobo: Asus H81M-E
CPU: i5-4460
GPU: crappy but still serve my needs GTX 760 OEM 3GB
RAM: 8GB, planning to get 16GB
CPU cooler: Delta aub0812vh
PSU: Delta 500AB-6A 500W
Case: The system is pre built M32AD-US01S. Is it a mid tower (15 inchesx15inches HxW)

I got it for 400USD new. I also have a SanDisk Ultra II SSD 240GB

Yeah it should be a good setup, not bad for the price. Have you already purchased it? If not an i3 6100 50 dollar motherboard 8GB off ddr4 ram and a cheap case would be a better gaming option.

I like to keep my quad core and it is a pre built. Why would I go for a dual core? And yes I already bought it

Oh the i3 suggestion was because it games better than most i5's even the haswell ones like u have

I am not keeping this cpu fo a while I think. Might get 4790

spentshells · Jul 27, 2016

No makes perfect sense, it's barely better at all not worth changing which is why I had asked if you had already purchased it as far as the card fitting your system it'll be pretty sweet a huge jump in gpu performance for you.

i5 4460 will be sufficient for gaming but I also do video editing/recording and might be streaming. how is that not worth?

spentshells · Jul 27, 2016

Okay fella you are confusing the situation so lets leave it at, you have the ccurrent setup and want to add a 480/1060 I say go with that...

When I mentioned the ii3 it was for a new machine thinking you may not have already purchased the current machine.... if you are processing video... use an app that leverages the graphics card where possible.

spentshells :

I understand your question. My machine is already built so I want to upgrade i5 4460 to i7 4790. I want something big and 4790 is the best cpu my socket can afford. I do not plan on upgrading anything else even the mobo.

I dont see any reason why you wouldnt go to the i7 if you plan on using the cpu for video, I really enjoy hyperthreading.

Consider this as well, it may be a better option for you.
