Need advice on how to upgrade

[76561198319550434]

So basically the system i have :
Fx-6300
8 gb ram
gigabyte GA-970A-D3P and a gtx 960 [which created this whole scenario]

So my gtx 960 is broken and cannot be repaired. My budget is kinda tight so i was hoping to buy a 1060 6gb or rx 580 8gb but the problem is that those will be bottlenecked by my cpu

So should i sell the mobo and cpu and ram and buy a ryzen 2400G, a new mobo and new ram and then later on insert a new gpu

Or i just buy a 1050 ti and then upgrade the system later on one by one or should i just buy an 1060 or rx 580 and call it a day ?

Edit : forgot to mention that I 50% of the time will be playing LoL or other e sports game and then other half newish games or emulation games

Yeah so i got an amazing deal for the 1060 6gb used as its price was half than the price of a new one and condition is pretty lit

Now i m probs gonna replace the cpu and mobo. Any recommendations for the upgrade in the future. Wanting to go with amd cause of pricing.

You can pickup Asus Aorus Pro for ~$90, R5 2600 for $160 (use the stock cooler, I didnt and it was a waste), 16 GB of 3000 ram for $150 and that 1060. Rest you can get what you will, but those alone are ~$500 and you can squeeze the PSU/Case for $100

Here is a cheap rig outside of the GPU

Just remember, you will have to move your storage over and have to buy win 10 with the new mobo.

It is a micro atx mobo, but most people won't sli and don't need all those bells and whistles... plus, it fits nicely in a midtower.

1060 out performs the 580 in some cases.

And considering the price RX 580 is definitely a better choice.

To each their own, you can still pick up a used 1060 cheaper since the Bitcoin mining craze died.

Actually, u can pick up a used RX 580 even cheaper exactly because of mining craze. RX cards were out of stock way before they started buying 1060s due to how good RX were at price/performance.

Wait for Ryzen 2 it's so close maybe late spring/ early summer at the very least it'll drive down the current ryzen pricing.

I really don't see any games that suffer so much that they're uplayable so try to wait it out.

Get the 2080ti. Best GPU for the monov

OP could wait for that, but the Ryzen 2 platform will still use AM4. Buying the 2600 now wouldn't really be a huge loss at $160 and you can upgrade to the new platform during Black Friday if you want.

Just get a used gpu for now and wait for new tech. I've played a lot of new titles on a geforce 1050 with a measly 2gb vram. It was enough for Fallout 4, Mass Effect Andromeda, and other heavy titles like that. Low - Med settings of course, but still 1080p resolution and maintaining 60fps. I had it paired with FX 8350 but not much different in games than your 6300. In fact, your FX 6300 has a higher max temp than all the other FX CPUs. It's the one people overclock the most.

The 1050 and 960 shouldn't be much different. I've used both and couldn't really tell a difference in performance or graphics. The 960 probably has a little more brute-force, but the 1050 is much more efficient and has more driver optimizations. The end processing result is probably about the same.

The GTX1050 chews through e-sport titles quite easily.

I didn't see what display you are using, but if it's exotic with a high refresh, you'll want something like a GTX1060. But if it's 1080p 60Hz then a 1050 is plenty.

FX 4100, 4130, 6100, 8100, 8120, 4300, 4320, 8300, 8310, 8320E and 8370E have the same max temp(or 0.5°C lower). The reason why people overclock it the most is because it was cheap or their crap boards can't handle 8 core FX with OC.

The lowest GPU I would buy is the GTX1050 3GB, but for that price maybe you can find RX570.

Look it up. The fx 6300 max temp is 70.5 and all other fx series are 61.

4100 - 70.5°C
4130 - 70°C
4300 - 70.5°C
8300 - 70.5°C
8320E - 70.5°C
U kidding?
