Hey guys!

 

Do you guys have any ideas of a graphics card that will work perfectly with the Intel Core i5 4460 that is under $200 USD?

Can you buy used?

New stuff at that price isn't great.

I'd honestly prefer not to buy used as most of the time they are pretty worn out and aren't worth paying for in the long run.

I have been looking at a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660, but I don't know if it is good for the Intel Core i5 4460, if it bottlenecks the processor or not.

I understand the not wanting to buy used, but realistically there is no reason not to. PC parts don't really "wear out" except harddrives, technically fans, and thats basically it. Power supply capacitors do age, as does any capacitor (including those on mobo or GPU for example), but they don't really "get old and slow down". If you can find a 10 series card or newer for a good price, and you can verify it works, it'll last you a solid 8 more years no sweat (barring any random issue that can crop up... anything is possible).

 

Just my two cents on it.

Personally.... I don't buy used PC parts either. But, that is personal preference and not an "affordability" stance. I do sell all my used parts, and based on that experience being the seller the used market is solid. Many people try and charge way over what things are worth, I usually try and undercut the market which gets the part out of my hands quick (not worth ~40 bucks to go back and forth with someone over a video card for days etc), and im sure some folks are less trustworthy. But if you can buy it ebay or something where there is buyer protection, or something like that, really isn't much reason not to. Of if you find someone who seems knowledgeable and reasonable on craigslist, letgo, or offup, or even FB marketplace, they are likely not trying to scam you. If they seem to have no idea what they are talking about, maybe steer clear. Hope that helps :)

The i5-4460 is bottlenecking for any 16 series above display cards.

You can still get ok performance on gaming but your cpu limits your gpu performance in certain extent.
