What CPU should i get?

[Plocky]

Hey guys,

 

i wanted to update my PC a little bit, may u help me a bit with that.

 

I got a GeForce GTX 1050 ti pared with an AMD FX-6300 CPU (16GB DDR3 RAM), and while i was searching for benchmark with that specs to compare it looked like the CPU is bottlenecking the GPU.
just one example: (League of legends, CS:GO, Blade&Soul), i get around 100 FPS but every benchmark i see that has an other cpu, like any i5 CPU gets 300+ FPS..
 

So is that the case? And if so What CPU fits with the 1050 ti?

Your fx-6300 should be ok with the 1050ti but You could probably pick up a cheap fx-8xxx series chip if you don't want to change your motherboard and ram other wise a kabylake lake pentium with a lga 1151 motherboard and ddr4 would be a good shout for 1050ti a kabylake lake  i5 would be. Better if you can afford it

What i5 would be best? I'm not realy on a tight buget. but I just want something so that my 144hz monitor would be worth his price.

If budget isn't a problem get a z270 motherboard and i5 7600k and a decent cooler to overlook a bit and to game at 144hz you may need a higher end gpu depending on resolution and graphics settings

How much are you willing to spend? If you don't have a set budget, you could go for Ryzen.

I'm in education, i got like 700~ €/month. And my goal is to get a good enough PC till the Star citizen release :D. So for now i just want something thats good enough for maybe gta V and i think a Ryzen or i7 would be overkill for that? also star citizen's release is still fairly far away so Hardware could get cheaper in this time x)

You don't have to get the R7, you can get the R5 1600.  Btw, which location are you at? Germany, France?

Hmm Idk actually..about 2500€ (for an entire build) so i only have to safe up money about 1 year (200/month) or pay it off in 1 year.

And now i just realize i could get way better hardware than i got now with that amount of money - like a 1080..

I'd suggest upgrade the base system first so cpu motherboard and ram then upgrade you gpu after it's a bad time to buy a gpu with current prices and Vega from amd and possibly volta from nvidia just around the corner, but that is just my personal opinion I always build I'm stages so I'll either do a base system upgrade or a gpu upgrade depending on which I feel with give me the biggest performance boost
