Gtx 1050 ti+i37100 vs gtx 1060 6gb+g4400

[Viaditya]

Hello guys, im planning build myself a pc

This is my first built and Im from indonesia, so prices might a bit different 

 

So i need a gaming pc and gaming only,

I plan gaming on at least 1080p with decent frame rate (at least 45fps) on at least medium settings 

(What i played : gta v, sims 4, dota2, war thunder, heroes and generals)

Im not working with it in any ways

And im not planning to OC it either 

 

I have budget about $700 excluding monitor, peripherals and os

 

So i make this list

But after some research, they all said that i wont need powerful processor for gaming pc, so i altered my list

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Viaditya/saved/vzzHNG

In my country they priced about the same(about 5$ more).

Or i can swap zotac gtx 1060 6gb single fan with power color rx 580 4gb(but i think its mining edition, since it has only 1 port and only 3 month warranty) for exactly the same prices 

 

So what did you guys think? Which one should i buy? Did the pentium will hinder the 1060? Or maybe you guys have better list?

Thanks alot for helping

the partslist is set to private. don't get the G4400, the 2 cores without hyperthreading will bottleneck the 1060 badly. get a G4560 and gtx 1060/rx 580 or ryzen 1200 if there's enough budget for that.

[Schrodingers Kat]

^ +1 however the g4560 will beat the 1200 in gaming only so aim for that over ryzen if thats your only objective.

Sorry, how do i change it to public?

Ryzen 1200 is about the same as the i37100 in here, is it still a good deal?

And what mb should i put it on?

it's still a good deal, put it with an Asrock AB350M, get a cheaper case and see if you can push up to a 1060.

[Viaditya]

Hmm the drops in mb price alone should cover the 1200.

Is 1200 beter than the i37100?

I admit pick the msi b250m mortar artic of it's looks, so its more expensive.

 

Should i go with lower mb to cover for the i3, or use ryzen 1200 with asrock ab350 ?

The i3 will outperform the 1200 in gaming (not by a large amount mind) but the physical 4 cores compared to the 2 cores w/hyper threading can make a difference in other uses around the pc. The bigger choice is the gpu. If getting the 1200 allows for a better gpu than what you could afford with the i3 then get the 1200 and the better gpu. If all else is equal and the gpu wont change between each cpu, and gaming is your number 1 priority, then the i3 would be the choice. Something else to take into consideration however is the b350 board for ryzen will be the same socket used for a while, so its possible to upgrade the cpu to the 1600's successor for example in the future, whereas on the intel platform your locked with the cpu you buy for the life of your platform.

Hmmm, you're right, with intel different chipset for the 8th gen will hinder its upgradeability is it?

 

Now for the gpu, which one should i go? gtx 1060 6gb or rx580 4gb (with some caveats)

it's not the i3 7100, but the G4560 is about the same, just a few hundred MHz slower(everyone recommends it over the i3 anyways). doesn't matter with a 1060, but the 1200 has a better upgrade path.

RX 580 8gb if it's around the same price as the 1060, otherwise 1060 6gb.

[Viaditya]

Nope i can only afford the 4gb version, which exactly the same prices as zotac 1060 6gb single fan

[Viaditya]

I've watch the video, the g4560 still bottlenecking the 1060 but very little...

You're right 4400 is a bad choice

 

How about g4600? Here, Its only cost about $2 more from 4560?

 

Im still not comfortable going with amd, just because i never had experience with it tough... my whole life always surrounded with intel pc/laptop 

But the upgrade path is clearly better then intel

[Viaditya]

Okay guys i think I've made up my mind

Im gonna try with amd 1200 this time. I just cant ignore the upgradablity. 

Thanks for your inputs. You guys are awesome!!!
