My friend told me that he will sell his gtx 650 1gb for only Rp. 400.000 ($30)
My problem is, i cant decide which one should i buy, there are two options:
1. R3 1200 + b350 mobo + RAM + used GTX 650 1gb = Rp. 4.200.000 ($316)
2. G4560 + b250 mobo + RAM + used rx 460 2gb = Rp. 3.950.000 ($297)

Im going to use my pc for gaming, and soon ill upgrade.

Sorry for bad english.
Thank you.

You could use your FX 6300 with a 1050 Ti now, then upgrade to the [rumored] 4C/8T Core i3 from Coffee Lake when it becomes available later this year. And if it's not a 4C/8T, there's will still be plenty of options. Coffee Lake and Cannon Lake will use the same LGA 1151 V2 socket from what I've read.
The RX 460 is considerably faster than the GTX 650 and has 2GB instead of 1GB (which just isn't enough for today's games). But you said soon you'll upgrade? What do you mean by that? Is this your upgrade, or would you upgrade again after building this PC?

If i choose option 1, ill upgrade my gtx 650 to gtx 1050ti next year
But, If i choose option 2, ill upgrade to i5 next year or late 2018
 


Well next year there will be both new GPUs and CPUs, except Intel's new CPUs will not work on the current LGA 1151 socket.

I think im going to choose the option 1, coffee lake wont use 200series mobo, and cannon lake probably wont use lga 1151 sockets. But last question, i've my old pc, its fx 6300 + gigabyte 970a d3p, should i use it or just sell it all? I only need to buy a vga card + ddr3 ram.

What ive read that fx 6300 will bottleneck gtx 1050ti in cpu intensive game, is that true? I think im gonna overclocked it to 3.8ghz because my aftermarket cooler is only has 2 heat pipes.
