New Gaming PC

[Yuicide]

Hello, currently i have anthlon x4 840 and r7 250 1gb. Its clearly not enough for gaming and im sick of playing doom,dark souls 3 and other stuff on 720p with sometimes less than 30fps. So im planning to build a mid range gaming pc but im not sure if i should go with i5 8400 and gtx 1060 3gb or i3 8100 and gtx 1060 6gb. The difference in price between 3gb and 6gb gtx 1060 is about 100 euros in my country while the difference between i3 and i 5 is about 40-50 euros. My budget is pretty tight and for me the better options is i5 and gtx 1060 3gb but how will it perform in games (cause i will mainly do gaming on this pc) and also im concerned about having only 3gb of vram but i will upgrade it prolly in 2-3 years so will it hold up on 1080p with med/high settings @60fps?

How much is an RX 580 4GB in your country? What about an RX 480 4GB?

too much to buy the 6gb then. i5 is a much better deal than the i3, especially for this price delta.

Don't skimp on the CPU just to get 3GB more VRAM. A 3GB 1060 is fine (I know because I have one) and the i5 will perform much better in games than its entry-level brother the i3.

Still not the best time to build a PC.

 

Better off just getting an R3 2200G PC, then toss in a GPU later when prices are normal, only thing you can't reuse is your RAM.

How does it perform in gaming? If u could list the games u played with the average fps and settings pretty please? Also did any stutters occur?

3GB vs 6GB really only matters if the game you play need that much VRAM. For me, I play CSGO and Rocket League on their highest settings. None of them use all 3GB of VRAM, probably at the most 2GB, so it's not a concern for me to not have 6GB.

 

I play CSGO in 1024x768 stretched across a 1920x1080 screen in max settings and I get 280-290FPS, with no stutters.

I can achieve 200-230FPS in Rocket League max settings 1920x1080, it uses 100% GPU usage but still no stutters either. I limit my Rocket League to 120FPS now since I have only have a 60Hz monitor anyway.

depends. my 780TI has 3GB and it plays Overwatch on 1080p ultra settings 60fps perfectly ok..
