new folding rig

[astranger200]

for my birthday/Christmas im getting a new rig which I plan on folding on (as my core 2 duo is terrible). what sort of points per day should I expect from a i5 4460 and a r9 280 windforce?

If you were to get a (pure) folding rig, a G3258 would probably be enough for a 1/2 GPU setup. CPUs dont contribute as much as GPUs do and for folding, you should be investing much of your money into the GPU. 

 

If you plan to game on those, Then that would be fine. I can tell you that im getting about ~8k PPD on my CPU, an i5 4690k at stock speeds. Your 4460 should perform just about the same. Cant quote you on the r9 280 though.

The r9 280 was a re-branded 7970 if i recall correctly? if so, ppd will likely hover slightly above 100k with core 17 wu's.

Maybe 110-140k.

The G3258 can support more than 2 GPUs, just not more than 2 Nvidia GPUs as they need a CPU core dedicated to them per GPU. I've currently got 3 GPUs running with a G3258 but I've had a total of 5 just a couple weeks ago, 3 AMD and 2 Nvidia.

No the 280 is a rebranded 7950, the 280X is a rebranded 7970. My 7950 usually gets 110k PPD.

Aha, right. That isn't confusing at all..  My 7950 gets 100k ish, slightly lower. but it isn't exactly a prime example 

of its specimen.
