where's the rest of it

A lot better.

Yeah that board has shit VRMs get a sabertooth or gigabyte gaming edition 990x

Also get a used 970 or 480x when it drops what are you doing getting a 960?

the 960 is shit, the r9 380 outperforms it by a mile.

>nearly 8 minute video starring panjeet just to say R9 380 > GTX 960

fucking pleb just directly link some goddamn benchmarks next time

Is that what shit costs in britbong land? Overpriced AF

you didn't have to watch the whole thing. you can skip around in videos.

R9 380 4GB
AMD 990X board
FX6300

Are you even trying?

I have a case suggestion for you.

This video doesn't takes in consideration AMD driver CPU overhead.

Pairing an budget AMD GPU with a budget and slow AMD CPU will give lower framerates than pairing a Nvidia budget CPU with the same slow AMD CPU.

Nvidia budget GPU*


I thought everyone knew this?


Nvidia + AMD = Yes
AMD + AMD = No
AMD + Intel = Yes

This, just get a 380 user, 4gb

is 380 budget? seems in the midrange. budget is like gtx 950 type cards.

the 380 is the least powerful card I would bother to buy new. Anything 950 or less, and I would buy second hand.

If you're buying an FX CPU for a budget rig, I hope you're overclocking, otherwise there's no point.

380/960 are budget.


In most games pairing the 960 with a AMD CPU will give you better framerates than pairing the same AMD CPU with a 380, despite the 380 being stronger, the weak CPU can't push the same amount of instructions to the GPU(compared to the 960) fast enough so you have an underutilized GPU.

Intel + 380 is good though.

380X worth it over the 380?

no shit panjeet, I skipped right to the fucking end and wondered why I even needed to do that in the first place

then what's midrange? the 970/390? i don't know if we should be calling $300+dollar cards midrange

Yes, the 970/380 are midrange.

i skipped to the end too. because i assumed that Sup Forums users are non-memers like you.

>hmm should a take time to collect benchmark images from various games or should i just post a video that cycles through them all already hmmmm

Depends on the games you play, and what your budget is.
Technically, yes, it is worth it in price/performance, but it's only slightly better.

I'd say that a 390 is on the line between mid-high range.
380/960 is still mid-range, but if you're buying a "cheap" gaming PC, you shouldn't be looking at something with much less performance than those.

390*

AFTERMARKET CPU COOLERS ARE THE MEME OF THE CENTURY IF YOU'RE NOT OVERCLOCKING

Unless you bought a 6700K and want to run it at full turbo..
Even without an overcock, the 6700K at stock 4.0-4.2GHz hits 82'C on a 212X.

...

Yes I can

Wait for Polaris

Stay pleb hothead.

Better??

Why waste money on a slower clocked i5 though?

in terms of thread participation and relevancy, i won, u lost.

Swap that XFX for a Sapphire, and you're good.

>being a consumerist cuckold

>Being too poor to afford the things you like
Not even once.

Get an i3 you dumb cunt.

dosent change the fact you're still a pleb

I've been pushing the i3 for the whole thread with statistics as to why you should get one. And you're still going for the AMD CPU?

Why exactly?

da fuq the hard drive
da fuq the ram
da fuq the power supply

...

what's better for like, normal stuff with only a little light gaming, amd or intel?

im talking like web browsing, word processing, email, youtube.

...

Because the AMD saves me like £30 ....

Apple osx

Is 380x worth buying? Want to upgrade from a 660 ti

Holy shit, wait for 480/470/1060/1050. It's like less than a month for the 480, which is 970-tier performance.

Also Zen is coming out later this year.

If you have to buy the rig now, get a 380/x and an 8350. Buy at least the CPU used

well, if you're going for price/performance, the i3 will be better in most tasks. I have an 8320 (@4.2GHz) because I like the multithread performance.

>lol didn't read thread

Ive already got all the other parts. Just looking to upgrade not build a new machine.

Should I bother upgrading my Ivy i5 K?

That's only when you don't change the motherboard.

It'll save you £4

no. decent cpus don't need frequent upgrades.

No. Performance gains to skylake are minimal at best if you're already overclocking the card.

Am i good?

Why aren't you buying skylake?

FX 8320 and HD 7870 going strong for almost 3 years now. Paid 100$ for the cpu brand new, and 200$ for the gpu.

Youd be out of your mind to rule out AMD+AMD

i have that cpu and it's really good. it's able to handle every game that i throw at it.

>CPU
>HANDLING GAMES
MFW

I mean, I go AMD+AMD for ethical reasons, but yeah, it's pretty nice.

cpu matters. there's a reason he's getting the i5-4690 and not something weaker.

Dont listen to the guy who recommended a 6 core. I started out with an FX 6300 (paid 130$) and couldnt run bioshock infinite without OCing to 4.5 ghz. (Mind you this was 3 yrs ago)

I saw an FX 8320 for 99$ brand new at my microcenter and got that and sold the 6 core (2 months after i bought it). Its leaps and bounds better, at 4.2 ghz it runs everything i got to this day w ease (most recent games being arkham knight and mgsV). I have a strong feeling if i still had the 6 core it wouldnt cut it.

Maybe "every game" just means Minecraft

He's getting the locked version of the CPU and a low end MOBO to save a little bit of money. He's locking into a build he won't be able to upgrade, only replace.

Please explain to me how this is even a remotely intelligent thing to do, let alone condone.

I just want something that will last me for years. All options considered, but for now i got my eye on 4690

Precisely the reason I got my brother a 6700K for his workstation, even though it was a massive portion of the build cost.

because even the locked 4690 is already more than enough for 99% of games and will last him many years.

Its really way out of my budget. Thats why im getting low end mobo and a locked processor.

We're currently in the 6th generation of Intel processors. If you want something that's going to last a long time why are you buying 4th gen?

You're also buying the model which cannot be overclocked. At the very least, you could spend the extra on the 4690k and a z97 MOBO.

I need to upgrade my current rig, and here are my stats. What should I upgrade first?

Also will the 480 be compatible with my PC? Thinking of getting that first.

>CPU
AMD FX-6350

>RAM
8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 803MHz

>Motherboard
Gigabyte Technology Co. Ltd. 990FXA-UD3

>Graphics

2048MB ATI AMD Radeon HD 7800 Series

an amd APU

He will be able to upgrade, he'll be able to get a GPU. If we assume he's building this for video games, then that build is fine. By the time that CPU is outdated, he'll probably be in a different part of his life where he can afford to build a new rig altogether.

No, add SSD and make sure that RAM is a kit, i.e. 2x4GB sticks

...

Get the 480 when it comes out.
Wait for zen.
It's a really terrible time to be upgrading, because intel is fucking people in the ass with pricing, and new silicon processes are on the horizon in both GPU and Zen.

Intel i5 6500 - £164.28
Asus H110M-K Micro ATX - £46.99
Sapphire Radeon R9 390 Nitro - £214.98

Total of £427.25

We don't know what pricing is like in his country.

Thanks fammo

Get that RX-480 then upgrade to an FX-8350.

Stop posting these. The are plenty of gaming benchmarks out there already that show that i3's are getting manhandled in newer games.

He's from Croatia, he can order from whichever country in the EU it's cheapest in and pay 0 import tax.

Actually Serbia. Import taxes are like 20% of product.

He said price for performance. Reliability was never a factor.

Of course, if it was me I'd get a better board.

>I'm too poor to be cheap.

Apologies, I googled some of the words on your image, it came out Croatian.

>Manhandled
5 fps difference, considerably cheaper.

>that horrible banding
jesus fucking christ, people shouldn't make 8-bit undithered gradients and then JPG-compress them

>Manhandled
4 fps difference

God bless youtube.

...

Its okay. Anyways, im looking at this i5 6500 and it looks like it scores slightly worse than 4690 on benchmarks ive seen some far. Should i stick to 4690?

If you're going to stick to 4690, get the K, and get a Z97 motherboard. It will future proof you for longer.

Personally, I'd still go for the i3 6320 if you're on a tight budget because it's cheaper, and offers roughly the same performance.

>$160 dual core in 2016
Top nope.

For 100$ I'm going to have 16gb of ddr2, an x5450 and a 7950. Hard to beat that IMO. Just waiting for the 5450 and 16gb of ram to be shipped

>Being this dense.
It has hyperthreading, which essentially makes it a quad core. In the areas that matter (core speed) it's actually better than most of the i5 lineup. The only place where it lags behind is multithreaded applications, like encoding x264 video, or complicated excel spreadsheets with multiple formulas. Games, tend not to utilise more than 4 cores, which this processor essentially has.

If you're going to chat shit, back up your claims with facts.

X5450 isn't very good for games (3GHz w/ no turbo), but the rest is nice.
Would make a very good workstation machine.

>hyperthreading makes it a quad core
no. It just has high clock speeds.

Honestly, it wouldn't do too badly as a gaming machine. It's not like it's going to bottleneck the GPU, and unless he's playing very CPU intensive games like ARMA or TW, for $100 it's a fucking steal.

An R9 290 would be a good start
