Hello there,

What do you think about putting brand new i5 8400 with old HD7770? I'm asking you this, because I wanna wait this ridiculous gpu prices out, but on the other hand it would be nice to have now at least the rest of the components, if not whole rig.

Do you think it will be ok to buy all parts besides gpu and stay with old one? I'm worried that with this gpu I will not feel any diffrence to my current phenom x4 965 BE and the purchase turns out useless.

Thanks in advance guys
 
Solution
if your 7770 was capping you at the highs, then it's quite possible you'd see little gain in average fps, but, perhaps the minimum fps will rise, which is important as well...

You can always get a GTX1060/1160 later....
