Need help guys!

[Extnct]

hello there forum, Im new here so I might not be posting in the right place so I apologize, I have a few questions that require your help!
 

1) I have a processor intel core i3 530 @ 2.9Ghz, I want to purchase a zotac gtx 1060 mini 3gb. Will I be seeing any sort of performance boost since im currently using gtx 650ti 1gb and due to lack of vram I am experiencing alot of stuttering,
 

2) I am also in the market for a psu since my current one is just rusty as hell! so is Corsair VS450 - 450 Watt Power Supply a good power supply?

 

3) Guys I have seen alot of comparison videos and the 1060 is always shown to be better then the rx 470 so guys seeing that my processor is garbage which should i really be buying?

4) Can anyone please tell me a good processor that is going to match my motherboard model ?

5) How does one check his motherboard model? 

 

6) guys very important question this one!!, I have a vga monitor ;'( and the cards always never have a vga port( not the ones I'm interested in ) how can I connect my monitor to the card?

Hope you guys can help, Thanks in advance!

1) I would get an RX 480 4GB if you can spend bit more. It will be fine until you can get a new CPU

2) No it's garbage

3) The 480 4GB. 

4) Not much tbh, you would need a new mobo

5) You can use speccy https://www.piriform.com/speccy

6) You can get an adapter to convert VGA to DVI

Thanks for replying

Upgrade your CPU. You might be able to grab an old i7 for your LGA 1156 socket. They cost like, 50-60 bucks. Then you can spend the money save on something like an RX 470.

1. yes it will improve performace..a lot actually...but the current cpu will also heavily bottleneck a 1060.

2. its a entry level psu...it will get the job done

3. 1060 3gb is better than 470 im my opinion...but you can probably get a rx 480 4 gb at a simillar price which is better than both

4. your motherboard is way outdated..no current gen cpu on the market will fit

you should really upgrade if you want to get full performance out of your 1060

6.  for ports not sure...you have to look into specific 1060 models to find one that supports vga

How much can you spend on an upgrade in total?

No, you use a DVI-VGA adapter. Every new GPU I've ever bought came with one, and no new GPU model comes with a VGA port

1.you'll still see performance gains, but the i3 will be a bottleneck. 

2.no, it's pretty bad. Try for a corsair cx450/550m or seasonic s/m12ii instead.

3.rx 480 4gb isn't much different in price but performs better and has more vram.

4.if you're on a budget i'd find a used i7 8xx or equivalent xeon on ebay, should be pretty cheap(at least the xeons).

5 . Should have the mobo name on the motherboard somewhere, otherwise you can try HWmonitor.

6.you can use a dvi to vga adaptor if the card doesn't have VGA.

Thanks for replying, I'm from pakistan and parts ( especially old ones ) are rare to find. and i want to play games on high-med settings at 900p, so I am more skewed to purchase the gpu.

900p? Anything will play 900p. What monitor do you have? If it's a 1080p monitor, just play at 1080p.

Look on eBay and have it shipped to you, CPUs don't cost much to ship because they are tiny.

In my country parts are way over priced since the lack of offical stuff I have to buy from 3rd party stores that import parts hence the tax !!

Yeah around how much?

[Extnct]

I got this PC as a kid and since i was never able to upgrade on my own I am stuck with old parts !!

If it's 900p max res, why isn't your 650 Ti good enough? I'm pretty sure 1 gig VRAM is fine on 900p.

I have 35,000 rupees so 333.92$

Im not sure dude i always have to play AAA titles at  low settings and due to lack of vram i am unable to max out textures and almost always see stuttering 

I just bought batman arkham knight and was shocked since the game kept suttering!

You can play GTA on high at 900p on any half-decent card. You might want to second guess that GPU upgrade, stuttering might be an issue with something else.

no I don't get much stutter in gta v i play on normal preset and get 40~50 fps avg
its with games that require high vram like arkham knight, mankind divided, ac syndicate.
