Thanks, but could you possibly clarify? He can't overclock with that 6500 and is a 1060 actually better than a 390/480?

yes in everything by at least 5% but really by the time vulkan and dx12 become popular (it performs better in them), ur friend will want an upgrade

You don't want to run a R9 390 on just a 550watt power supply, but an RX 480 would work fine.

You could save a bit by getting a "bronze" rated power supply, which may help to afford an RX 480 or RX 470.

 

 

A sieve may not hold water, but it will hold another sieve.
