Hi,

 

Currently in my build I am running a year old amd athlon x4 860k currently Oc'ed to 4.3 Ghz.

I want to upgrade soon but not spend much money. I currently have 3 options in mind, a used i5 4460 costing in the uk about £100, a used 15 4690k about £130-£200 or wait fro ryzen and see what price that is at?

What would you guys reccomend? 

 

Thanks,

              Ben

 

TDLR; should i get a used i5 4460 a used i5 4690k or wait for ryzen

I agree. You should wait for Ryzen and see what it has to offer. Maybe even Intel will lower prices :)

depending on the game the 1060 will bottleneck. If the game is like bf1 or large maps that needs a good cpu+gpu, the 1060 will bottleneck both i5 that you have chosen, unless you OC the i5-4690k, it will perform with less bottleneck 

Remember to quote me (or someone else), otherwise we won't going to recieve your answers...
