So i have a pc with i5 2400 and have some quastions
Is it worth to upgrade to i3 6100 and will the i3 preform better in games (bf1)
Will my i5 bottleneck the 1060 ?
Is my cpu still good for this days ?
If in my country the 1060 3gb cosr 280$ and the 1050ti 200$ is it worth the price ?

Id stay with your 2400.

 

A bit, depending on the game, Id probaly keep the i5 for anouther year or two.

 

What settings do you want and what resolution, you probably won't notice the difference visually. ALso look at the rx 470.

In the long run, the 1060 would be better overall but if  you don't have the money, go for the 1050Ti but I don't think it's as good.

I misread titles/posts way too often--correct me if I don't.

i have a 2500k and that's still fine, granted mine is overclocked but in reality it's not that much faster than a 2400 and it performs just fine in games - if i were you i wouldn't go for the i3 since it'll probably give you worse performance overall given that it's just a dual core. Save and get yourself a 6500 or 6600k, that'll be much more worth your while.

2500k is considerably faster than a 2400 at 4.5ghz.

Your CPU will be a slight bottleneck for 1060 but I wouldn't really worry about it too much, you should still get pretty good performance. Upgrading to an i3 would not be a good idea since they are roughly the same in terms of performance. The only gain would be that the i3 has more upgrade potential.

Just upgrade next year or the year after that.

 

Sandy Bridge i5s and i7s are actually one of the best buys 5-ish years ago as they could handle almost everything up to now.

A new i3 wouldn't be much of an upgrade. If you wanna upgrade go full i7 or Xeon xD

You can bark like a dog, but that won't make you a dog.

You can act like someone you're not, but that won't change who you are.

 

Finished Crysis without a discrete GPU,15 FPS average, and a lot of heart

 

How I plan my builds -

Spoiler

For me I start with the "There's no way I'm not gonna spend $1,000 on a system."

Followed by the "Wow I need to buy the OS for a $100!?"

Then "Let's start with the 'best budget GPU' and 'best budget CPU' that actually fits what I think is my budget."

Realizing my budget is a lot less, I work my way to "I think these new games will run on a cheap ass CPU."

Then end with "The new parts launching next year is probably gonna be better and faster for the same price so I'll just buy next year."

Ok thanks to both of you i think i will wait for AMD ZEN 

and what you think about buying the 1050ti ? i want to play battlefield 1 on 1080p 60fps. will that gpu less for 3 years of gaming at 1080p 60fps like maybe the next bf1

I think an RX 480 is better and will last at least two years.

 

Good idea waiting for Zen.

With DX12 around, Zen APUs might be able to work with the GPU like CrossFire or something.

 

Plus! with the money you save getting an AMD Zen, you could be able to afford more than the 1050Ti. Like I said, an RX 480 or 490(maybe) good.

 

Last year my plans to get an R9 380X where halted but this time around I might be able to get either a 480 or 490 (depending on benchmarks).
