Do I need to upgrade my i5 6400?

[MonoAlice]

I’m planning to upgrade and clean my computer, also want to get decent FPS with my current GPU
(GTX 750ti 2GB, also my RAM is 12GB)

750 Ti is a really low-end GPU, so I'd recommend looking into upgrading it first. RX 570/580 are nice price/performance these days. And sure you can get more performance in CPU-intensive games by upgrading your CPU, but it's likely to be hold back by the GPU anyway, so that's it.

The i5 6400 is not a great CPU but it's still perfectly capable at gaming.

You can look at replacing the CPU later once you have a decent GPU.

get a i5 6600 non k, this'll give a nice boost

2nd get a gtx 1080 , or at lest a 1070ti, also what size is your case?, because they won't fit if your case isn't mid range size..

how big is ya power supply?

1. Okay maybe later, after reading the replies above I decided to focus on CPU later.
2. Got only 130$ (So I’m buying 2nd hand components)
3. ATX, I remember it’s one of the ASUS stuff.
4. 14.5X15X8.6 CM

If you wait one month the GTX 1660 will come out with a price on 500 bucks.
It's like 20 % better than GTX 1060 and almost the same price.
If you only got 130 bucks, so save them or buy a used one.
You should have power supply over 500 W for these cards and future uppgrading.
So some cases you will fit a 1080 ti like fractal core design 500 that is a mini ITX.
So this is the sizes of the motherboard from small to big: Mini ITX, ITX, ATX and mATX.

Unfortunately I don’t have that money for a 1660.
Guess I’ll just stick with the 1060 (or the RX 580).

That's terrible advice.
Trade in a weaker CPU, for a slightly better CPU.....
It would be better to save up for entirely new hardware. (Ryzen 2600 build.)
Quadcores (4c4t) are trash today, and are running the limits of what you can do.

A 1080 or 1070ti will be bottlenecked by the i5 in any modern game.
(He will have the benefit of not having to upgrade it later, but it's still a wasted upgrade, because he's not going to use all of it.)

Sorry but I don't fully understand what you're saying; are you saying Halo is correct, or me?

It will be bottleneck if your CPU doesn't fit GPU calc. power. They work together.

nah it's not, en i5 6600 is the best it can get, depending of the MB,
could even go for a i5 7600, that is if you have a h170 or h270 MB.

plus i use a i5 6600 TB to 3.9ghz with a gtx 1080 and there is no game i cannot run well

Well if OP only has $130 no point in arguing, a 1070 or 1080 is pretty much out of the question lol

I did spot a Sapphire RX 570 4GB[www.amazon.com] for $99, killer deal and nearly double the performance of the 750 ti...

I found a 2nd hand PowerColor RX 580 for 83$.
Wait, do they make a lot of differences between the performance?

[Monk]

As a note, there is no way a 1660ti will cost 500 bucks, everything points at it being a 2060 without tensor cores for Ray tracing, as the 2060 is around 350, it makes sense that the 1660 will likely come in around 275-300.

For 130, that should get you a rx570, I've seen them on some crazy discounts or a second hand 970 / 980.

There will always be some bottleneck, that's how PC works. CPU not fitting GPU calculating power, however, is gibberish. Unless you're running together parts from way different tiers, you can choose if CPU or GPU will bottleneck by simply adjusting game settings.

Go grab it, no kidding, That's just plain awesome. Tho don't forget to stress-test the thing to be sure it works as intended.
