upgarding worth ?

[martijnmuk]

Hey 

 

I would like to know if it's wise to upgrade my fx 8320 to an i5 7500 at the moment ?

btw I will also buy an rx 580 or nvidia equivelant when prices lower.

Is it performing well? If it is, keep it and save up for the jump to Ryzen.

it performs descent but with my gtx 760 I sometimes have lagg spikes in the witcher 3 and i love the game ....

Hmmmm. Ryzen would be better, and probably cheaper, than an i5. What's your total upgrade budget for CPU, mobo, and RAM?

 

Also, the Witcher 3 is a pretty demanding game, do you have the setting tweaked and hair works turned off?

[martijnmuk]

I have enough money for an i7 and rx 580 now but have commen sense so if you ask for a budget I would say 120 for mobo 220 for cpu (ram i foud cheapest here for 122 (16gb))

 

oww and yes hairworks is setr to -9000

So a total of about $500? And just quote me so I can get back to you quickly. 

 

EDIT:

no no I don't have a global budget you could say and I found a mobo to my liking (https://www.alternate.nl/GIGABYTE/GA-B250-HD3P-socket-1151-moederbord/html/product/1315202?) 

it's just the cpu that I don't now if it would be worth upgrading.

It's an Intel mobo though, and i5s are much worse for the price than a Ryzen 5 1600. The i5 7500 is a 4c/4t CPU, and for the same price you can get 6c/12t (3 times the threads) with Ryzen. See my edit above for a solid upgrade.

It's only a Ryzen 5 1400, but it can overclock and is still a 4c/8t CPU, so double the threads of the i5 will defo help out. Though if you can find a Ryzen 5 1600 in stock, it'd be much better.

hmm I think I won't go for the R5 1400. I'm not really an overclocker and stil sorry but pcpartpicker isn't really up to date for the Belgian market lol. there are ryzen 5 1600 for sale here and lot's of cheaper mobo and ram.

I also found a good deal on an i5 7500 for 170 euro's and will prob g ofor that

OK. Though the i5 will struggle in any multithreaded games (I think BF1 is one of them). And future games will be supporting more cores, so I'd go with Ryzen. I'm going to take my own advice and upgrade eventually, my current rig is in my signature. Though I only play Battlefront II (2005) so far, and don't have any new games to test out on it.
