[Tzahi]

I have a friend  with a old pc .

Intel i3 gen2  socket lga 1155 with a motherboard of gigabyte model 

GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 (rev. 1.0) 

rev. 1.3

Memory 4gig  

But no gpu 

So i looked

in cpu list  and ordered i7 2600k

And ordered  a memory  16 gig  (2×8) ddr3 1600 cl11 

A case i ordered corsair  ICUE 220T RGB

  A power supply Corsair CV550 80+ Bronze.

ssd solid state drive 240 gig 

And a  Cooler Master Hyper 212 Spectrum for cooler 

But no gpu?

What should i get  for rig?

Gen 3 or gen 4 ?

you can only upgrade up to gen3, not gen4.

i suggest getting a 3770k.

Since OP already ordered an i7 I think it will be sufficient

@TzahiIf you are asking about a graphics card upgrade, it depends on what you do most. Is that what you are asking about when you say "gen 3 or gen 4" or do you mean something different? Do you play at 1080p? And what games?

2600k vs 3770k ?

What is the advantage?

4k RTX on, your CPU might not be able to keep up (even though the graphics card is doing most of the work the CPU is still loaded a lot)

 

For regular 1080p gaming, I hope you can get your hands on something like a GTX 1060 or rx 580

Little to no advantage. very minimal in todays standard, but nice to have newer part.

You can also get a Xeon 12xx v1 or v2, it will work in your socket and probably cheaper.

The GTX 1060 isn't an RTX card that works with minecraft, if you want basic RTX you can try to find a 2060. Anything more powerful is something I don't recommend, it will be more than your CPU can really handle, and end up being wasted money
