So, right now i have kinda horrible system.. good processor, but its using its own graphics...

My current system:

  • Intel Core i5-4460, Quad Core, 3.20GHz, 6MB, LGA1150, 22nm, 84W, VGA, BOX
  • ASRock H81M-HDS - 2.0 - motherboard - micro ATX - LGA1150 Socket - H81 - USB 3.0
  • Corsair 8GB 1600MHz
  • Samsung - Hard drive – 1TB - internal - 3.5" - SATA-600 - 7200 rpm
  • Inter-tech Power Supply INTER-TECH Booster SPS-520 AC 115/230V, 50/60Hz, DC 3.3/5/±12V
  • And some old mATX case

 

I now have 400 euros to put in my system.. some advice?

Forgot about the PSU, don't really trust it. You should get a new PSU instead with a GTX 1060 6GB.

The parts are from Germany so the price might vary depending on where you live.

never heard of the brand.

Wattage is enough assuming it is 520W, but i doubt it's high quality.

maybe consider a better psu with the same wattage (around 500W)

I read that your PSU doesn't have the 6 pin cable that the GTX 1060 needs.

I suggest you buy a new one, that one isn't even Bronze.

GTX1060 + PSU + 120 SSD.

this might help with finding a good psu. And a 1060 is probably a good choice. An ssd for your OS if you have the money for it, 120gb should be fine for that

This is what I got. Gold with Seasonic internals. Pretty cheap for what it gives.
