Gpu for low end system

[Niruvius]

Hi my current gpu died and i need to get new one. I will be doing whole system upgrade in about 6-8 months and give current pc to younger brother (he plays lol only) and mother (only facebook and youtube). I might be wrong but amd igpu will be enought for that so gpu will be replaced to new system then.

 

System i will start using gpu in

Mobo  F2A55M-DS2

Cpu    A4 5300

Ram   Gskill 6Gb 1333 MHz

Psu     Lc power lc420H-12

Old gpu was hd 5570

 

System i plan to build in 6-8 months

I5 gen 6 not sure will i pick locked or unlocked cpu for now

Mobo msi z170a krait gaming

Ram 8Gb ddr 4 (cheapest i can find)

Psu Nzxt hale82 700W

 

I would like to avoid unreasonable bottleneck but still not skimp on gpu (i have 400$ at my disposal now and will spend total of 1000-1150$ on pc - this gpu + new system)

 

I can buy new psu and gpu for total of 400$ if 420W is to low

GTX 970, I would say. It would bottleneck current build, but be great for future one.

^This, to be brutally honest. I would personally say hold out for when you actually build, because in 6-8 months, the Pascal GPUs will be around the corner, which would be really excellent for your upcoming Skylake build. If you wanted a decent upgrade for right now, I would find a used 7770 on ebay and go with that for the time being, because that'll play the vast majority of games at 1080p at greater than 30fps when you turn filters off. (I'm building something like this atm, yes it will.) or a 7870 if you wanted a load more performance.

i recommend getting a R9 380, or if you want to spend a little more a R9 390. both card are pretty much future proof, and definitely fit your 400 dollar budget, with the 380 being 230 bucks on newegg.

the 390 is about 330 bucks

Honestly... I almost build that pc for myself few years ago.

 

gladly I didn't

 

this is why, or when is going for APU is really not the best option specially when upgrading is become necessary, the CPU it self already struggling to keep up with mid-range GPU

 

I even surprised that the real bench that those APU performance is about Athlon 5000+ combined with HD 4550.

R9 380 or R9 390, depends on the budget.

Just a quick comment about your future build: the NZXT Hale82 is not that good of a power supply (coming from someone who bought the hale90 v2, which is just slightly better)

Something like a 970/used 980 for nvidia and a 380/(used) 290(x) for amd.

Thank you for suggestions
