I am planning to build a pc within the next 3 months after the new chips come out. But i would really like to play Battlefield 1 and Watch dogs right now. I know it might seem inpatient but i am running a gtx 650 so i cant really run the game.

 

Should i wait or buy a graphics card now. What cheep graphics card would you recommend?

You can still play with your 650 but you just need to lower your settings, no need to waste money on a mediocre card right now if you're planning to buy a better one so soon.

I asume you talk about kaby and Zen?

 

You can always buy the GPU you want and expect you need for your build. Sure it will probably be bottlenecked but that doesn't mean it gets unplayable. Imo the whole bottlenecking stuff is a bit out of context and people scream to hard that they have a giant problem.

 

It will play: Yes

It will play smooth enough: Yes

Will my GPU run full potential: No

Does that matter: No not really, you have to start soemwhere with upgrading.

The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.
