GT 1030 2gb? and is this build any good?

[Recon]

I am looking at building a new computer soon that is a budget build and am wondering if the GT 1030 is worth it at 92.99?

This is the build I am looking at: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/667tnH

Generally speaking, for major gaming no.

1050 Ti is really what you want to start with, or the normal 1050 at the very least.

And that GPU is way to weak for that system

Much better for $600.00

dont bother getting a newer generation cpu if you want a low budget build, get an older cpu with ddr3 so you can afford a good graphics card.

A good GPU is useless if the CPU can't keep up with it. If OP buys olders stuff he will have to buy used, meaning no warranty while in general paying more then that it is actually worth.

https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/Intel-i5-2500K-vs-AMD-Ryzen-5-2600/804vs3243 he's not losing any gaming performance with going for an older cpu, the 2500k goes for less than 100$ and ddr3 ram is around half the price of ddr4, also he wont be getting a motherboard that's over 100$. op will save a lot of money for a better graphics card.

Considering i actually have a 2500k
I can say that getting newer IS better, which is what i'll be doing soon.

2500k is showing its age

showing its age? i have my SUPER BETTER NEWER i5 6500!
https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/Intel-i5-2500K-vs-Intel-i5-6500/804vs2599 oh wait, the difference in single thread performance is under 10%! but "newer IS better"

[[☥] - CJ -]

You obviously have No clue what you're talking about so please, cease.

YES its showing its age, and considering the fact i actually HAVE one i'm speaking from EXPERIENCE

And please dont use that site to try to justify your opinion lol

Passmark isn't a game.

These new CPUs are significantly faster then this 8 year old stuff and you will see a huge difference.

That "super better newer" 6500 of yours is already 3 years old.

Here is a new CPU:
http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i5-8500-vs-Intel-Core-i5-2500K/m447884vs619

Stop making up fairy tales. These new CPUs perform significantly better in modern games when combined with modern hardare then this 8 year old crap.

"passmark isnt a game" cpus perform the calculations, the benchmark measures how fast it can do it. what difference is there to the cpu for a game and for a benchmark? the cpu doesnt work faster with games since games are just more calculations for the cpu.

Look at this : https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/AMD-Ryzen-7-2700X-vs-Intel-Core-i7-8700K/3238vs3098

The 2700x scores better in passmark and other CPU benchmarks then the 8700k but... : https://youtu.be/9opZLroo4Yc

It loses in almost all gaming benchmarks..

[InfinityJosh]

The question is:

-which GPU would you pair with a CPU?

The stronger is the GPU the most important is the CPU.
I see people suggested to buy an OC'd CPU for paperweight GPUs such as 1050ti...

no ♥♥♥♥ it loses in gaming, it has less single thread performance and thats what games care about since they only use 1-2 cores

Hmmm
News to me
wasnt aware ALL games ONLY use 1-2 Cores

cough

Good job you just disproved your own previous post.
