Hi,
I am looking to upgrade my PC. My existing setup is pretty old. I have an FX 6300 Processor, 12GB DDR3 Ram, Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3 Mobo, CX500 PSU, and a Sapphire Nitro RX 460 4G GPU. I play games at 1080p. I plan to move to the AM4 platform with a Ryzen 5 1600 Processor, 8GB Corsair LPX DDR4 2400 MHz Ram and Gigabyte AB350 Gaming 3 Mobo. I also want to change my GPU to a Zotac GTX 1060 AMP 6GB (solely due to the 5 year warranty).
The dilemma I am in right now is that I only have cash for either the GPU or the processor combo at the moment. I will buy the other component in about 6 months time when I have saved enough.
Which one should I buy first? The GPU or the CPU combo?
Will the FX 6300 bottleneck the GTX 1060 to such an extent that games are unplayable at 1080p?
