STRIX GTX 750 TI Bottleneck

[Playboi "Jordan Carter" Carti]

I want to get the I5 6500 or I3 6100 and I have a STRIX GTX 750 TI 2gb. I currently have an FX-6300. I don't know if the proccesors would bottleneck my GPU.

the fx-6300 itself can handle better gpu such as gtx 950/960 or 1050/1050ti

the i3 6100 and i5 6500 are better than fx-6300 so of course you will get much better fps with a better video card

Ok

you should look into a 1050ti or 1060 3gb if youre upgrading your cpu
also just a fyi although not a major improvment over 6XXX cpus intel has recently released the 7th gen cpus which might be better to get

My previous PC had an FX-6120 and a GTX 750 Ti. Literally the only games I had played where the CPU was the limiting factor in performance were Oblivion(with mods) and the first Witcher game(I was just barely under 60fps at times).

For you as well, despite having a somewhat weak CPU, your GPU is what will limit performance for fairly modern games, but you'll also run into CPU bottlenecking if you upgrade your graphics card much further. In your position, it may be best to wait until you have the money to build a new PC.

You seriously need a real gpu, the 750ti barely makes it to entry level now.

You'd be smarter to take the money you're going to spend on a platform swap and get a min of gtx1050ti or aim for a gtx1060 6GB.

You've got 3 games in your library with one being a bench mark app so do you have plans to get games worthwhile to upgrade your pc for?

Should I just get an AMD RX GPU? And keep this one?

No reason not to, just make sure your power supply is will provide enough power before attempting any GPU upgrade. If you go 1050ti though you should be ok seeing how you are using a 750ti already.

Should I just get a GTX 1060?

I also have a 350 PSU

1060 recommended wattage is 400W and 480 is 500W. So you will need a new power supply. 1050ti should work though.

It could work but that is cutting pretty close with the 1060 I would not risk it.

You're better off with the 500-ish Watt PSU for a high power machine like this.

It wouldn't hurt to replace the psu to something in the 450w-550w then get the GTX1060 6GB and be done with it for another couple yrs.

With a 350w psu the GTX1050ti 75w should work, the FX6300 and 1050ti only amount to 170w.
