In simple words, better speed, better endurance and more noise but black's noise is a pro for me.

WD Black. The newer ones with 256 mb cache(4 and 6 TB versions). Period.

If you thinking of ryzen wait for zen2. If not 6700 is a great cpu. Just upgrade your GPU.

It has one year warranty and you re still thinking of it? Mining is less stressful for a card than gaming. So mining is safer for second buy.

Sell or frisbee them to an annoying neighbour.

You should get what serves your tasks better and what suits your taste better. Go visit a store and check all kind of panels. TN, IPS and VA.

Well if he aims 1080p 30-60 fps then that FX is more than enough. Think that i can achieve that with my phenom. Still you got a point and he would better start looking to upgrade.

Try that out. I used to run two cards from my old pc. one nvidia for the cuda and one amd for gaming. It served me well but it's not suitable anymore at least with the modern cards.

There not really a point in doing that. It would work even if you have some stability issues with drivers but it would stress more the cpu than it would if you had two monitors plugged in just one 1060. My recommendation is either use one of them or sell both and buy a better card.

Good mini ITX motherboards are super expensive. Why don't you get a standard ATX motherboard and a new case to house your new system. With 600 pounds you can set up a new system for your needs.

**Sorry i accidentally double posted and now i saw that you mentioned the resolution in the first place.

Well first of all what resolution do you play at and what is the Hz number of your monitor? Are you going to change monitor later? If you plan on gaming at 1440p at 60Hz panel then it's the other way around. Your 1660 will bottleneck your 2200g in the future 2-4 years depending on the games you re playing.

By small country you mean Canada? Single slot? maybe a gt1030 or the xfx rx 460. Otherwise i think you can fit some variations of rx 560,570, 1050 there even if they are double slot.

If it's temporary and you just want to get an am4 budget cpu till you get a strong one grab the Athlon 200 GE. You will save a lot that way and you will be able to fit the b450 m pro 4 or even the msi b450 tomahawk motherboard.

new ryzen apu(3600g would be the strongest one) would probably be equivalent or stronger than a 580.

Thank you man.....more options for us!!!

Kudos to everyone contributed for the new list!!

Yup, as you said i misunderstood you hahaha.

Oooh my suggestion changes completely now. Get a 2600x/1700x and a msi b450 Tomahawk along with 16 gigs of ram. That's the best bang for your bucks.

4790k even used is still a much much better cpu than both i5 8400 and i3 8350 but an old platform whereas with the same money you spend there, you could get something newer and better.

8400 doesn't worth it unless you could buy only intel cpus. 6700 is a great choice but price is still unreasonable. Both 8400 and 6700 can't fit your budget along with motherboard and ram, not mentioning psu, gpu, probably a new case and a cpu cooler. Unless your budget could climb from 500$ to 1500 $. As i said above aim lower. Even an APU i suggested will fit hardly in your budget but it is the most viable choice here. P.S. If you only intend on gaming at the pc and do nothing else, you might consider buying a console instead.

You re buying next year and your budget is around 500 usd. I would advise to go for an APU. Zen 2 is almost out so a 3xxx APU would fit perfectly for your budget. Wait a few months to see what's best for your needs considering performance/price. If you change your mind and go for a new setup right now i would advise 2200g/2400g along with a good b450 board. P.S. I think both 2600x and 8700k even in the next year would be impossible to fit your budget along with mobo/ram/psu/GPU and maybe a cpu cooler. So aim lower.

Then why don't you work for free? For some people like me software development is my job. Our product is a banking product. If we gave it for free how would it possible for us to live? That's just an example to give you the big image. Of course you can make money through support and maintenance etc etc but that's not the point. Copying and sharing might feel like the right thing to do, but for that to be the norm for everything and keep everyone satisfied, means we would live in a Utopia and not the real world.

I ve never said that....
