videocard which videocard to buy..??

[acv159357n]

hello sweet summer childs,

 

i am currentle building my first pc that is bot build out of scrap parts (old one is features a core2 quad q9300 and a geforce gt630), but im quite on the budget side.

my question is, what would be the best card to buy??? i was thinking of a gtx1050ti or a rx480 (8GB), maybe with a bit of luck a 1060 (6GB), so i wont have to upgrade that any time soon.

 

i allready have the rest of my parts, here is a list:

cpu: intel Pentium G4560

MoBo: Gigabyte GA-B150m-D3H

RAM: corsair vengance 8GB DDR4 @2133GHz

HDD: 1TB Toshiba harddrive (2,5", got it out of my laptop where i swapped it whith a 500GB 850EVO)

SSD (M.2 PCI-E): Samsung 960EVO 250GB

PSU: BitFenix Whisper BWG850M (all the less powerfull ones weren't available anymore while i was still able to order it online, so they send me this one for the price of the 450W version. lots of love to the retailer)

 

i am aware some of the parts are not that budget at all, but i had a bit of help because of my 18th birthday.

so the question is: what videocard should i save up for? i would like a bit of headroom over my cpu, so i wont have to upgrade my GPU anytime soon, since the CPU will be the first updrage after this.

 

thanks a lot!

 

sorry for my english, not a native

what display are you using?

Looking at your specs a GTX 1050Ti 4GB will be fine.

using a Benq XL2720Z. its a fine piece, if i say so. 1080p/144hz.

i would like to use my monitor at its full potential, (1080p/144hz) will that be possible in the more popular games?

if you are planning on upgrading your cpu before your gpu i would recommend getting the rx 480 8 gb as it performs on par with the gtx 1060 6gb sometimes even beating it and it is generally cheaper.

With a Pentium CPU you really don't want to be getting GTX 1060's or RX 480's. As I said before a GTX 1050Ti 4GB will do fine however if you want a bit more power then an RX 470 4GB will do okay as well.

completely depends on the game.

if I get this right your monitor has freesync so absolutely get an amd gpu, otherwise this awesome feature will get lost. 480 would be my recommendation at the moment or you wait for the 500 series.

he said he wanted to upgrade the cpu in the near future.

they plan on getting a better cpu later anyways. its dumb to get the weaker gpu just because they might experience some minor bottlenecks in some games.

i've looked it up, but sadly the xl2720z doesn't have freesync, the xl2730z does though. but thanks for the help

Upgrade the CPU now and just use your old GT 630 as a temporary GPU until you have enough money for a gaming GPU, that's what I would personally do.

you just assume the Pentium is going to bottleneck those cards hard but the fast is the Pentium doesn't.

benchmarkt say the 1060 isn't bottlenecked that much by the g4560..

haha indeed, the 4560 is a 60€ beast with its 3,5Ghz and hyperthreading

Just upgrade the CPU now, trust me that's the best thing you can do right now. Take a look at the i5 6400 (Skylake) or i5 7400 (Kaby Lake).

but, the 1060 6GB it is than. thank you very much  do you reccoment a specific aftermarket one?

yeah everyone underestimates just how much of a good deal that cpu is. you really only get into bottlenecks at high framerates which if you have your games on high setting at 1080p wont even be achievable until you get into the gtx 1070 range anyways. i mean the Pentium is going to be pretty much good until you get past the gtx 1060 and the rx 480.

price to performance wise that is a load of crap. they should get the good gpu now as it wont bottleneck significantly and they can always put a 7700 in once they decide to upgrade the cpu.
