Hi
I'm helping my friend build a gaming rig with a budget of 900 to 1200€ and since it's been a while since I built my rig I wanted to ask about the best CPU and GPU for the budget.
First, is an i5 6500 (he isn't much of a techie so prob no need for OC) enough for the rig, or should it be upped to an i5 6600 with a price difference of 45€? Or would an i3 suffice? If yes, which one?
Second, what's the situation with graphics cards currently with the RX 480, 1070 and 1060? Since it's mainly a gaming rig the GPU is the first priority within the budget.
I apologise for the simple questions but I'm currently a bit stretched for time and don't have too much of it to spend on research. Any insight is appreciated, thanks!
