will it be that bad?

[Damai]

I am planning a new pc build i the future but im short on money, so for now I bought myself a new msi rx580 8g, I am planning to put this in my current pc which has a 450w power supply and an amd a6 6400k processor. Will I be able to run a game such as for honor or will the power supply and the bad processor make the rx 580 practically useless?

 

thanks for helping!

What power supply? 450W should be fine for that system but a bad quality unit is where problems will arise. And yeah that processor will pretty heavily bottleneck the GPU. I'd advise against pairing the two, though if it's all you have for now and you can upgrade your CPU and motherboard down the line, it will be better than nothing.

Well since you already have the gpu you might as well use it, so long as it's a good PSU, bad PSU can make GPUs go boom. And yes your a6 6400k will limit what you can do, but that 580 will make sure you can do anything your cpu can handle

I believe that my current power supply is this one: HKC SZ-450PDR Silent Power Supply 450W, will these components be enough to play games like For Honor and player unknown battlegrounds? Thanks in advance

It will manage For Honor no problem at 1080p

That's great news, thank you!

so this means that the rx 580 will give it a huge boost, ??? because with my current gpu I run at at the lowest possible settings at 20 fps and a crash pretty often
