i want to upgrade but not sure what to
i want to run games i have to a better standard inclding some of the furture games to be release. ik that upgrading my graphics card is my best bet but idk if thatll cut it.
if i had to put a figure on it i dont wanna spend more than £250. unless buying a already made custom gaming is the better option

You would gain the most from GPU upgrade. Get a GTX 1060. Anything higher will get bottlenecked by the cpu.

An i7 6700 bottlenecked by an GPU more powerful than a GTX 1060...

So by this logic, are you saying a 980 Ti, which is comparible to a 1070 would be held back by pairing with an i7 6700...

I'd love to see the source for this information...

Agree the gpu upgrade would be the best bet, even the rx 580 would give you more than double[gpu.userbenchmark.com] the gpu performance

So anything equal to or above the Rx 580 as long as your PSU is up to chops (psu calc says 450w[outervision.com]) so that’s a good minimum - I would go at least 550w for longevity.

If you can tell us your PSU model would help greatly!

If it was 6700K that has been overclocked, it could run 1070/980Ti/1080 just fine.
But on a 6700 the clockspeeds are so slow that there just simply isn't enough performance.

i7 6700 is equal to a OC'd Ryzen 5 1400 which is known to hold back 1070 and higher gpus.

i7 6700 only boosts up to about 3.8Ghz on all 4 cores.

the i7 6700 is 3.4ghz and will turbo to 4ghz
it will not bottleneck any current gpu

The 4Ghz is only a single core boost. It won't hold 4Ghz on all 4 cores at the same time.

Just like on i7 8700 the single core turbo boost is 4.6Ghz and as more cores come into play, the boost amount drops.

EDIT: the 4 core Turbo Boost on it is 3.7Ghz
3 core is 3.8Ghz
2 core is 3,9Ghz
and finally the 1 core boost is 4Ghz.

where do you get the r5 1400 vs i7 6700 gaming performance info from?

Those are stock numbers. At stock the 1400 only boosts up to 3.4Ghz.
But unlike the i7 6700, they can be overclocked to run 3.8 to 3.9Ghz.

http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-6700-vs-AMD-Ryzen-5-1500X/3515vs3921

(1500X is just OC'd 1400, boosting up to 3.7Ghz, which is still 200Mhz away from all of Gen 1 Ryzen's max)

Agree ^.

For me I'd go with a GTX1070/70ti easily.

Depends ^ on what game but GR:W pushes the limits.

SE 4 and Dirt Rally the Rx 580 easily plays them really well, sooo, a lot depends on what game specifically but if this is an upgrade to top off the i7 6700 then sure GTX1070/70ti or GTX1080 is an easy decision.

And ^ FWIW.

Complete non-sense; even my old FX-8350 can utilize GPUs above a 980 or 1060 perfectly fine. And yea a stock non-K 6700 is miles ahead of that CPU.

But overall, a 6700 is pretty much on-par in most games as when compared to 4790K stock.
6700 doesn't yield that much boost over some older CPUs; no where near compared to say; 7700K or many of the 8th Gen CPUs.



OP's GPU is horrible for gaming today @ 1080p
Get a GTX 1060 6GB, RX 580 8GB; or better.
You already have 16GB RAM so you're fine there.
Get an SSD and clean install Win10 64bit 1803

I had FX-8350 and it bottlenecked even my GTX 970 back in the day.
Sure it wasn't much, but bottleneck nonetheless.

I guess with modern games it's a bit more even because of them being better multi-threaded, but that only goes so far due to how horrible the whole Bulldozer was.

EDIT: Although, I guess going for something like 1070 or even 1080 isn't too bad of an idea as OP can later move on to 1440p monitor.

Here:

GTX 1060 6GB

*LOOK for good sales right now on EBUYER.com for those folks who are buying inside UK



In the link below I listed good bang for buck SSD choices, as well as a decent PSU if you need to replace that for a better GPU. Along with Windows 10 and how to go about getting/installing that, etc.

so say i wanted to change my graphics card to a "Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1050TI D5 GeForce GTX1050TI Internal Graphic Card 4096 MB ". what exactly would i need to change to my computer to allow it to work to its fullest capabilities if anything?

Bad 💀 Motha 4/set./2018 às 16:37 
I'd avoid that GPU and buy a better one; 1050 Ti is simply not going to gain that much performance over your 950 really.
#14
_I_ 4/set./2018 às 16:37 
the 1050ti is ok for 1080p at mid+ settings

just make sure the pc case has room for the gpu
most will list the length and if its a full height or low profile gpu, or single/dual slot

this is a 1050ti lp (low profile) includes bracket for slim cases
