So I am upgrading old pc

Joebobman · Mar 27, 2017

I am upgrading an old pc with fm2+ and a crap apu and giving it to my brother. Im upgrading to x4 860k (It's $65 now wow!) and a used gpu like a fire pro v5800 or a quadro 2000 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlHW-TL6_CQ . So what fps could I get in games?

Update: I am also getting evga 430w to power this pc

If you don't plan on changing the motherboard, an 860k should be fine. Otherwise, I would suggest a Pentium G4560. Instead of a firepro or a quadro, try aiming for a GTX 1050 or an RX 460. Those will be a lot better for gaming. If you can't get those, then from the link you attached it looks like the firepro would be a little better. As for frame rate, I'm not entirely sure what you would be getting, but I would guess you could play at low to medium settings with decent frames in most modern games.

Nononono, don't get an 860k, get a pentium G4560.
What is your budget all up for your rig?

Answer please!

Joebobman :

Do you think you can get a motherboard for the 860k? It is a lot better that the 740.

How about the 750k

Return the CPU.
You should check all this before hand...

I agree on returning the CPU. Also, fire pro and quadros are workstation cards, and not very good for gaming.

Joebobman · Mar 29, 2017

logainofhades :

Ok I returned it. Should I get a 750k? Also if the fire pro and quadros aren't good whats a good sub $50 gpu?

Afairg · Mar 29, 2017

What kind of games do you plan to play? A 750k most likely will work if you turn some settings down, as for GPUs there aren't a lot of great options under $50, unless you are a light gamer and do things like Gmod, minecraft, etc. I have a GT 720, so I have to run a lot of my games in windowed mode unless it's a game like minecraft or gmod. I also have a core i5 4460.

Joebobman :

Good sub $50 GPUs don't exist.
You might be able to find a second hand 750ti or RX 460, but i'm doubtful.
Get the Pentium G4560, a B250 DS3H motherboard and 8GB of DDR4 RAM if you can.

I forgot to ask, which APU do you have?

Joebobman · Mar 31, 2017

logainofhades :

a8 5500

Joebobman · Mar 31, 2017

logainofhades :

Im planning to upgrade to 750k also i changed the quadro to a gtxx 1050

LucoTF · Mar 31, 2017

The a8 is already quad core, the 750k isnt really an upgrade at all.

Keep the a8 and spend your money on a gpu

logainofhades · Apr 4, 2017

Yea, switching to a 750k would be pointless, other than better overclocking capability.
