The cpu Ryzen 5 3500 is more bang for buck if you focus just on gaming. It's 6 core 6 thread with base of 3.6 and boost of 4.1. If the price is converted it comes around 145 dollar.
I just got a i5 9400f and a b360 motherboard from a friend.I also have a dedicated video card. How do I install windows because the processor does not work have any integrated graphics?
The gpu is a msi 1660 ti.
I want to use a VGA monitor as a secondary display option for my rig.i see two products on Amazon. One cable(https://www.amazon.com/Baihuigou-Converter-Transmitter-transmission-Conversion/dp/B07JCXGGD7/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?keywords=hdmi+to+vga&qid=1555827625&s=gateway&sr=8-7). One adapter(https://www.amazon.com/ZasLuke-Converter-Notebook-Projectors-Chromebook/dp/B07KFSYTDF/ref=mp_s_a_1_9?keywords=hdmi+to+vga&qid=1555827917&s=gateway&sr=8-9)
Which one should I choose?
If there is anything better then please say.
Will the upgrade just drastically reduce my current performance because i plan to upgrade both , just not at the same time. So will the upgrade just reduce the current fps i get or just that the gpu will remain unused ?
