need help with cpu upgrade

[Distorted_doggo]

I have a pentium g4400 in my system now but i wanted to upgrade it for fallout 76. I was planning on getting a pentium g4560 or a g5600 but the new minimum requirements say you need an i7 4790. Im not really sure if i should get the g4560 or the g5600 or if they can even run fallout 76. What should I do?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What is your GFX card?

I think it will work even on your current processor, but the fps would be low.

You have a dual core processor running at 3 Ghz - unless the game is optimized for quad core processors or higher, game should run on your processor.

And if the game really likes 4 cores or more, then upgrading to another G series processor won't make any difference... the only differences are  basically having hyperthreading enabled.

Check out this website.  Just fill in the blank spaces and it will examine your machine and tell you if you need to upgrade/update anything to run the software.

You should get an i5 7400 or something. Works for my brother's PC really well in casual titles, it'll be way better than your Pentium and cheap from eBay.
