For around £550 should i go with https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/Btwyyf with a overclockable motherboard and great gpu (I would upgrade the cpu to an overclockable i5 and buy a good cooler soon), or https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/hJ933F for a shitty motherboard and the worst 480, and roll with that for a while. The g4560 might bottleneck the gpu, but #1- im upgrading it soon and #2 I could crank settings and resolution up to remove the bottleneck if i felt that would be better. If there was a build inbetween to these, what would it be? Should i just wait for zen? What about this https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/8d7ssJ?

Idk..... For around $160, he can get an RX 470, which can match a stock 480 when overclocked and then he can add an SSD....

He can oc that 480 too and if he is upgrading he can add an ssd later no problem while a new gpu would take him more time imo

id go for the Pentium build, but i would wait for Zen seeing as it could bring some budget beast with it seeing as all the Ryzen chips will be unlocked

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

well its just a few weeks and then we will know. Ryzen is about 3 weeks away from launch, there should be day 0 or day 1 benchmarks from basically everyone so then you will know what to go for

Well, a 480 8GB is around 5-10% faster (when both are overclocked). IMO, the 470 would be a bit better, as newer games can use more than 4GBs...

just a question. Where do y'all get the money for your builds?

I mean you have a haswell-e cpu on a x99 mobo. that's some serious cache. 

Sorry for the pun but k'know what i mean?

Did you have anything to game on in that time, and how much did you get (I'm 13 and only get £5 a month and birthdays/Christmas)

IMO, get an i5 at least, because you will not have to upgrade your CPU, you can upgrade just the GPU (when a new lineup of GPUs is launched)
