Found a guy selling the I3-4130t w/motherboard and random 80+ cert Power supply, dont know the wattage or brand yet, for $85. 

 

Worth it?

Jesus Christ, a working LGA 1150 ITX board is worth almost $85 by itself. I was going to rag on the 4130T, but nope. That board alone is a go.

Really? ha, well that's good. Cept, it's only getting a 4130t with rx460. I would guess that setup should get 60fps 1080p all games?

I wouldn't say all games. The 4130T is a dual with HT, not a true quad, and that hurt performance in some games back when it released in 2014. Things haven't gotten any less demanding. The RX 460 is...iffy as 1080p GPUs go these days, but it'll still get it done if you turn the details down. I'd probably look to sell the 4130T and replace it with a Haswell quad. The 4130T should sell for $35-45 on eBay, and you can get an i5-4570 or 4590 for $65. That's a pretty good $30 upgrade. If you're the overachieving type and you have the budget for it, a Xeon E3-1231 V3 can be found for just under $100, so a $60-ish upgrade. That Xeon is a rebadged i7-4770 with no iGPU, so you've got 4C/8T.

 

Whatever you choose, if I were to replace one part of that equation (assuming the PSU isn't an arson box), it would be the 4130T. The 460 is good enough for now if you're willing to crank the details back on the heavier titles.

Was thinking Medium Settings 1080p 60fps when I made that statement.

 

Didn't even notice it was HT. Sounds like even better deal to me now.

 

It's for my GFs PC, we like to play Tabletop Simulator. Maybe sometime in the future she'll go for other games.

 

Thanks for your help!

Yeah, you're good at 1080p for Tabletop Simulator or anything else worth playing in the indie category. Congrats on finding a damn solid deal.
