CPU choice

[Rumman]

I am from Bangladesh. I am in a fix between Pentium G4560 vs i5 6400 vs i5 6402p. I am in a budget. If I go for G4560 then can go for 1060 or if I go for i5 then go for 1050ti. I will gaming in at best 75hz or most probably 60hz monitor. Most probably I will play GTA 5 and single persons shooting games.

 

Should I go for I5 (if so, then 6402p vs 6400) and wait for buying 1050ti or G4560 with gtx 1060. PLS help me.

I would go for the i5 6400 with the GTX 1050ti. The GTX 1050ti is a really good card for its price. It will run GTA 5 without problems.

I would go with the G4560 and 1060 and upgrade it later on cause modern games mostly rely on gpu.

 

double edged sword really... the G4560 will bottleneck the 1060 and performance wiil be closer to an 1050ti with 6400.

1060 is a powerful card in par with last gen 980. i dont think anyone would have recomend a dual core with 980.

i think 6400 with 1050ti is a better choice...down the line he can atleast upgrade his rig one more time with a gpu

if he goes for the dual core there is limited upgrade path

Thanks for comment. Is  not i5 6402p is better then i5 6400. i5 6402p is cheaper then i5 6400 in my country.

If he buy the 1060 first then he can upgrade the CPU later on with either 6500 or even kaby lake.

which is a better upgrade down the line a cpu or a gpu?

You do have to remember that if you buy that cheaper CPU your going to apy more for a better CPU since you will also need a new mobo.
