What gpu should I choose?

[Dogmander25]

I don't know what gpu I should choose out of the RX 560, RX 550, RX 460, R9 270X, Radeon HD 7850, or Radeon R7 250.

I plan to do medium gaming at Medium/High and MAYBE VR.

[will2135]

gtx 1070 for high VR  Or medium gtx 1060

[Dogmander25]

I'm on a budget, and I'm a AMD fanboy.

rx480/ 580 is the best budget card for vr but gtx 1070 would be a sweet spot, what cpu do you have? 

[3 Lions]

RX 570 4GB. 

[Dogmander25]

I'm planning to use a AMD FX 8350 or 6300.

rx480 minimum for vr, 570 is close but not enough.

but amd is bad xddddddddd

RX 570 is really worth it, not sure about 460 though because you have 1050Ti at that level

[mikat]

If you're only gaming at 1080p just get a 1050/ti, I wouldn't recommend the rx 460 or lower

If you can stretch to the rx 570 that would also be really good

get a better cpu, ryzen 1600/7700k would be an ideal CPUs for things like VR. 

[Dogmander25]

But intel is pricey and the Pentium G series processors are dual core.

Pentiums can't do vr

pentium g4560 has ht, beats fx in some case and offers upgrade path. fx 8350 has no better cpu (9000 series is bad as they run hot) so upgrading will nerd new mobo ram

Haven't you even got a PC yet? 

 

If so I would really stay away from the absolutely awful CPU'S.  

[Dogmander25]

I have a laptop that's a potato, I'm wanting to build a gaming pc on a budget because I don't want to spend a truck load of money on a gaming pc.

Their not bad, they just have no recent high end GPUs 

[Dogmander25]

Go with a lower end r5 processor from amd. Don't get the fx processor as they aren't worth the money you will spend on one. An r5 1400 would be what I would get if you are on a tight budget.

[The Asian Invasion©]

not to say that their mid-low end isn't good value for money 

 

[The Asian Invasion©]

This may help you decide

[The Asian Invasion©]

Its from hardware unboxed's video also you cannot expect a high end vr experience on an AMD gpu currently unless of course you get a Rx 580 or 480

 

[Dogmander25]

Those are high end gpus, not budget gpus.

Stay away from the old AMD FX CPUs then. Get something newer like a Ryzen 5 or Intel 6th or 7th gen. Finding an older used i7 or something is also an option. I saw that your budget is $380 USD in that other thread, you can't get very much for that at all. The best GPU for your budget is probably the RX560. Push it to an RX570 if you can.

 

Here are some options:

1. Get a Pentium G4560 with something like an RX 560.

2. Wait for Ryzen 3. It'll be out soon within the next few months. Should be perfect for your needs and budget.

3. Find a good deal on a used Intel i5/i7 and throw in a your own GPU. Probably a RX560 or something used.

4 Buy a pre-built with an i5/i7 and toss in your own GPU.
