G4560

[Noah Sky]

I'm planning to upgrade from my garbage FX-8320 to a G4560 (Ryzen 1600 costs 3x more than G4560 and I'm not exactly rich, so...) and I'm wondering how you guys think it will perform in League and PUBG. Also 2 games that I plan on getting into when they release, Escape from Tarkov and Destiny 2.

 

I will also upgrade from my R9 280 to a RX 570 (Gigabyte, most likely). Everything else will remain the same, 8GB RAM, games on SSD etc.

 

I only play in 1080p.

Not sure it will be a massive improvement 

Maybe consider upgrade to 8350? Thats a solid chip

you're also going to need DDR4, as DDR3 skylake boards aren't great

Yeah, know I need to get a new mobo and ram.

R3 is releasing next month I think (it's early Q3 so next month sounds about right)  they starts about $120 (so double a G4560) but that being said it does give you an upgrade path to both good hex and octa cores if you need to later for what ever reason

Upgrading from an 8320 to an 8350 is not worth considering.

the G4560 only lets you get you up to a 4 core 8 thread CPU, where as with R3 you'd can get up to R7. AMD might be better just to be able to do that in the future. Also the R3 might be better than a G4560
