I don't know what to do

[nishe1]

Hello, guys. I got a few questions, I spend a last few days searching web, but still don't know much...

 

I just got a PC with AMD A10 7800. Don't judge me, it was a good deal. I have a QHD monitor, I'd like to watch movies in 1440p and play some games... At least at medium details. I thought about buying a GPU... What is the best I could get for this CPU? 

 

But I think I'd rather buy something different. I was looking at some options, I'd like to spend about $500, could pay more if it's worth it. Tell me what you recommend, I thought about:
- Intel i5-7400 with GTX 1050Ti/1060 3GB and 8GB RAM
or maybe it's not worth paying more, and I should choose older CPU like i5/i7 2nd/3rd gen? E.g. I found a good deal for i5-2400 with GTX 1060 6GB

- Intel i3-8100 with GTX 1050Ti 

 

AMD FX 8300 also crossed my mind... Or Pentium G4600 in case I want something even cheaper.

those options are all over the place.. what is your goal here? what games do you want to play?

How would you get i5 7400 and 1070ti system for 500$ ?

Getting a decent GPU would be a first step. What PSU do you have?

Sorry, I meant 1050ti. I should read it more carefully before I posted it...

 

I'd like to play  e.g. World of Tanks, Forza Horizon 3 and other stuff, as I said, looking for something that will work OK with most games. And I don't know what PSU I have, it was a prebuilt PC and I can't really open it without losing warranty (which I don't want to do, because I will probably resell it)

That CPU is probably going to do like 45fps average in AAA games,

Wait for black friday and get a $200 RX 570/580 and R5 1400, if you OC on this motherboard stick a fan on the VRM

Video has CPU scaling in games, your chip is going to be below the R3 1200

I live in Poland and can't find those RAM anywhere... Could you recommend something different? At least I found that RX 580 for about $170.

 

And you surprised me with Ryzen... From what I heard it's better for other stuff than gaming.

And it's above my budget - I need a full set, with a HDD or SDD, case and PSU. Maybe I could go for Ryzen 3 1200 with GTX 1060 3Gb instead, if it won't bottleneck. Or i5-7600/Ryzen 5 1400 with 1050ti.

Ryzen 5 1400 with 1050ti

Probably go for that one so you get on AM4, and get more multi-threaded performance.

Though depending on pricing if an RX 570 isn't much more save up for it, it's a faster card than a 1050ti.

No idea on pricing for you then.

It's even more expensive than GTX 1060.
