Good day guys!
I was planning to upgrade everything in rig but I'm currently deciding what to buy first.
Here's my current rig:
CPU: AMD FX-4100 3.6Ghz
GPU: A dead HD 7770 (which I removed already)
RAM: 8gb
Motherboard: MSI 760GM-P23 (Only supports PCI-e 2.0 x16)
PSU: Seasonic G-650 650W
1080p Monitor
Windows 10
Parts to buy:
CPU: Intel i5-6600 3.30-3.90Ghz
GPU: Sapphire RX480 Nitro+ 8gb
8 or 16gb DDR4 RAM
Motherboard: Asrock H170 Pro 4 Hyper
I frequently use my PC mostly for games but obviously I'm on a budget. What I want to ask is should I upgrade my GPU first? Will the RX480 8gb (Costs around $278) perform well even with a FX 4100? Or should I just buy the i5-6600+mobo+ram? (Costs around $415 without GPU in my country)
Follow-up question: Are there any other cheaper 6th gen CPUs that would be a worthy upgrade AND would not cause a bottleneck with the RX480?
THANKS. Please be gentle. It's my first post.
