GPU for future upgrade

Paulpauls · Jun 6, 2017

I'm planning to build a pc on a budget and upgrade it within the next year or two. I play games like csgo and dota 2 but spend most of the day on work. Here is what I'm going for.

CPU: Pentium G4560
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-H110m-H
RAM: HyperX 4gb(2) 2133MHZ
PSU: Corsair VS450
HDD: WD Blue 1TB
GPU: ??

I'm aware of the VS450 being tier 3 or 4 and not having good capacitors but I'm on a budget. I'm planning to buy an i5 7th gen after a year or two and no overclocking.

What GPU should I get?
What fps can I get with the suggested GPU?

If you're going to get the i5 in a year or two, I would build my PC for that eventuality. That in mind. a 1060 6GB would be my recommendation if you're at 1080p

Thanks for the reply!
Would the PSU be enough to run 1060 or even 1050 even it is on lower tier?

I'm no expert on PSUs, but 450w is enough to power what you have there, and the 80+ is good.

What I don't know is if there is a better PSU for that price point.

It seems that you're aware of the bad quality of the VS series, with that said that PSU is meant for office work, not gaming.
You can get a CX450M pretty cheap or even a SeaSonic S12II 520W, both will be MUCH better than the VS, trust me.

For that rig, i would suggest a 1050Ti, low power consumption, pretty decent performance and cheap as well. If you have the extra bucks now, the 1060 would be optimal for 1080p gaming, your CPU will bottleneck it in more CPU-Demanding games tho, but as you seem inclined to switch that up to a i5, i bet you will be satisfied until then.

Another point to mention is that you're grabbing a Skylake mobo with a Kabylake CPU, that mobo NEEDS to be updated before to support the Kaby CPU, otherwise it won't work. With that said, just make sure with whomever you're buying it from that it already has it's BIOS updated.

Yes I'm aware of the bios update and the store I'm buying from will flash it for me. I cant seem to find the CX450M in my place and the Seasonic cost about $68. What do you think of Silverstone ST50F-ES230 500w or DeepCool DA500-M? Both are retailing about $48-$50 in my country, I guess that's the max I can spend.

Try a EVGA 500B or XFX TS 550W as well.

Where do you live? Or where are you going to buy the parts, i could make a better recommendation with that info.
