Can I get a 1060 6GB with my 8150 AMD or new pc?

SrlampardioX · Apr 24, 2017

So...
PC specs:
MOBO: ASRock 970 Extreme 3 R2.0
CPU: AMD FX 8150
RAM: 1x8Gb 1333Mhz 1x4GB 1333Mhz
Hard Drives: 1SSD(120GB) 1HDD(1TB)
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GTX 750 Ti 2 GB

The questions is:

Can I change the graphic card for a 1060 6GB or it will bottleneck the CPU?

I play BF1, CSGO, Overwatch, Forza Horizon 3 (Future buy), and some new games.
And I wanted to play on high/ultra settings on 1080p.

If its bottlenecking...

I want to waste 1600€ on a computer (No hardrives/software/)
Could you tell me the bests MOBO-CPU combos? Want to join the PC Master Race.

Let me word this right, because I've said it and it's came across wrong before:

Yes, it will be a bottleneck. HOWEVER, as stated by several users across the forums before, there's very little and, statistically speaking, NO existing system that has no bottleneck. That being said, an old, weak FX card with a relatively powerful and modern 1060 will hobble performance, by at least 10 frames. But, with your titles, especially the lower-end ones like Overwatch and CS:GO, it'll be so meaningless that it's virtually non-existent. I can't attest for Forza, but BF1 will definitely play well, even with such a bottleneck present. But, if I really had to go into a tangent, a complete system upgrade is the preferred route.

This is a Ryzen 7 system build that will serve you well, and you can upgrade things like RAM as you like later on. The case is your choice, it just seemed nice so I chose it.

I'm assuming a new PC now. I said 1600€ but my wallet is dying hahaha. I cant afford 300€ on RAM.
My friend's building a Intel i5 7600K with a 1070 to play the same as me. Is ok? Mobo with that CPU?

A 1070 and i5 7600K will work fine. And when you say, 'Mobo with that CPU?', what do you mean?

Just try it with what you have. if having a 60hrz monitor might there be little what can be called as botlleneck.
It also depends on the games you play,some rely heavily on the gpu others use the cpu as much.

I have a 120hz Monitor but I really dont care on getting 120FPS on all games. Only on CSGO and I get this by far with the 750Ti. (Low graphic option)

I'd suggest a Z270 board. There's plenty of options to choose from, and it;s the best LGA1151 board series at date.

Okay, It's needed to buy a water thermal solution for an Intel? or do you recomend me to buy the corsai h115i?

In the way of AIO water coolers, the H110i and 115i will be just fine.

These are better options for a psu,

the NEX from EVGA just isn't as good.

Some cheaper ram options,
stil good looking and faster,

You say your budget is limited & you don't care for 120fps all the time & then drop close to $600 for GPU & cooler alone.

With that budget if you want Intel then you should just go straight for the i7 7700.

For your uses you'll likely be very happy with the below & its a monster amount cheaper.

No cooling system? stock cooler will do? I need to render videos too. With my 8150 I spend like 30 minutes to render a 5 minutes 720p video x'D

madmatt30 · Apr 25, 2017

Stock ryzen 1600 cooler will let you push 3.8/3.9GHz ifbypu have decent case cooling & ambient temps.

Single core performance wise the ryzen even at stock has around double the performance of your 8150

Yeah... that cpu cost me 20€... the entire computer costed me 100€... very cheap.
