Hello Guys,

So i used to love PC's but switched to a PS4 since i moved country's jobs ect and had limited time to njoy gaming.

Recently i got stuff back on track and want to play games on a PC again, where there not the issue of my HD5770 and me loving pretty images(for a budget gamer)

Comparing Overwatch on the PS4 and my current PC, the PS4 looks plenty pretty to me.

And so with my wife starting to play more and more games on the PS4 me returning to moba and PC more, i want to skip upgrading to PS PRO stay at 1080p but still get nice FPS and sharp images with decent detail. ( Witcher 3 on the PS4 is also decent for me, BF1 as well). I am just doing these comparisons to give you my current level of enough and fine but i certainly wouldn't mind more.

Currently in the box
Athlon 750k
550 XFX psu
8GB of Ram
3 SSD drives
3x120mm FAN's
Zalmann T2 case
HD 5770

So I am able to throw money at the whole thing, and intend to change cpu in the next 6-12 months but since I always was the Budget kind of player and not the i need 200 fps in CS:GO i would like to keep it reasonable.

Thank you and sorry for the long post.

TL:DR Used to PS4 graphics, want to upgrade HD5770 and CPU in the future

This 470 will not get you to 200fps due to your CPU will bottleneck. With a decent Intel it should hit 200fps no problems. Here is the other parts when you get the cash.
