Upgrade

[Ques2.0]

I have an i3-6100 cpu and a gt 740 gpu a friend gave me for free, and 8GB of ddr4 2400. i want to play titles like battlefield 1 and pubg. I have a budget of $200 should i upgrade my gpu for cpu or go with the ryzen 5 2400g or ryzen 3 220g

Get an apu the 2400g should be fine with 8gb of ram, just get that and a $70 b350 motherboard

You should look more into upgrading that excuse of a GPU that you have . Spend that $200 on a different GPU. Perhaps a used 960 or 970 to avoid price inflation would do

if i get the none APU CPU the 1600 the gt 740 is still awful i just want to have something thats playable and at a decent price so i can in a couple months purchase a gpu

Get a new GPU. Be on the lookout on the used market for a R9 290x or a Gtx 780/ti. I think you should be able tl pick one up for 200$ if you can find them

So you have a motherboard as well? Honestly I would upgrade your gpu and get a 6th or 7th gen Intel cpu down the line if you already have the motherboard as you'll save money on not having to buy one.

The 1050 isn't a bad gpu but it isn't great either. It's priced fairly decent and you should be able to play games at 1080p with some settings tweaked. I think it's a fairly balanced gpu for your current cpu.

Although if you have 200 I would spend the extra money for the 1050ti. It's a pretty good bump in performance for not that big of a price increase.

sounds good to me and i can purchase an i5 or i7 down the road, how long would the i3-6100 and gtx 1050ti last ?

Depends on the game tbh. There's alot of games where the combo is actually quite good and can play at 1080p worh fairly decent settings. Some games are heavy on the cpu and would require some settings tweaked to conpensate. Is it the best gaming pc out there? No not really but it's going to be able to play games with come compromises. I used to game with a gtx 960 which is basically the same performance as this card and it served me quite well. It's surprising how much turning down some settings doesn't make the game look all that much worse.

if you can go used i'd recommend this:

You could also get a new RX 570 for the $200, especially considering how much the GPU prices are falling.

looks like the gtx 670 and gtx 1050 ti are about the same performace so the used would be best

not everything online is a scam, just be careful about which seller you pick and you'll be fine.
