Afraid of Possible Bottlenecks and Waste of Spending

[DrumXKPCGAMER]

So lets get straight into the question, 

will i5 8400 and GTX 1060 6GB be fine and also enough for gaming and multimedia productivity ? 

Because beside gaming, i m also planning to learn about video editing skills. So I may do lots of training in video editing.

If not can you suggest me some more good CPU + GPU Combo ? 

I have at least $900-$1300 budget for building the PC.

 

Looking forward for the responses. Thank you and have a good day^^

with this setup, you have a lot of room to expand, and you won't bottleneck at all. The 8400 can handle a lot of horsepower.

wow, my predictions of people asking if an i5 8400/gtx 1060 setup would be a bottleneck mess are accurate

What games? Chances are high that it'll be fine.

Honestly at this point, you might as well just leave it as "pair a midrange CPU with a mid range GPU and you'll be mostly fine".

i5 8400 and gtx 1060 is a budget-friendly-gaming-high-at-1080p I think wkwk. Plus I can make my PC becomes RGBeautiful with the left amount of my budget.

Well for games, I think I ll play the e-sports kind of game. Such as dota2, csgo, gta V, PUBG, fortnite, and so on.

Hi @DrumXKPCGAMER,

If you are going to be doing video editing I highly suggest that you definitely go for the 6GB version of the 1060, the difference is going to be noticeable for rendering and realtime effects/transitions. If you are using CUDA applications all the extra VRAM that you can afford will come handy

 

Enjoy your new computer!

Fortnight could run on a 1050. I saw a friend who used some sort of old crap AMD APU in a leafblower laptop that was able to get 20-30 FPS.

If you're going hi-res, I would definitely recommend the 1060 for GTAV.

 

i don't play fortnight so i insist on calling it fortnight.

hmm okay okay. thanks for the references mate.

hello too @Hashiba

alrighty matee. with all the answers here i finally become 100% sure to go with 8400 + 1060 combo (bcs for the past weeks i ve been indecisive, whethere to pair 8400+1060 which is fit my budget or wait up a bit more to pair 8400 with 1070) wkwk. Thanks a lot by the way!
