building a new pc so need help to buy a new processor??

[AVERAN]

Guys I have a Intel pentium dual core e6600 and 6 gigs of ram and a nec motherboard and nvidia geforce gt 220.I am planning to upgrade my pc to i3 2120 or a pentium g4560 and both are good and I need a gaming pc to run games like far cry 4 an just cause 3 so I just wanna ask if my motherboard or the other pc hardwares will support the new processor.Secondly I wanna ask if I should buy the i3 2120 or the pentium g4560 and which is better in gaming performance and I am on a tight budget and so I can't upgrade anything now and would have to manage with my current hardware.

I also wanna upgrade my graphics from gt 220 to gt 730 2gb gddr5 so will my motherboard or other hardware will support it.

What's your budget?
What's your motherboard model?
Don't get the GT 730, awful purchase.
If you're on a low budget a simple GPU upgrade to a 1050 would be good.
You should get a G4560, B250 and DDR4 upgrade as well if possible.

Definitely get the g4560 (with a new MB) instead of the i3. I would try to get the GTX1050 or rx460/560 if you can afford it as the performance you will get from the gt730 will be very poor. If you cannot afford either of those cards I would advise trying to purchase a used GPU. Something like a GTX760.

At the end of the day you can keep your system as it is and only upgrade the GPU. That should give you a very nice performance upgrade without breaking the bank.

Don't listen to the above guy in regards to the GT 730, absolutely awful purchase.

LOL! I agree though!

No you will need a new motherboard as well. Is your ram ddr2 or ddr3? You would also need ddr4 if you go with the g4560. And for the gpu I would hold off until the gtx 1030 comes out which is very soon because it will be better than the 730 and similarly priced.

You realise you'll need an LGA 1151 motherboard and DDR4 memory if you're getting a G4560?

Also that you'll need a FCLGA1155 compatible motherboard for the very out-dated i3-2120?

Don't listen to the above guy in regards to the GT 730, absolutely awful purchase.

Lol isn't that just OP himself who posted that.

The g4560 will work ok. you understand though that you will have to get a new motherboard and at least 8 gb of ddr4 memory. I would not to touch that i3 2120. second generation is just too old. As far as the video card goes you need to get a gtx card. You can get a decent 770gtx on the cheap at ebay i am sure. Though I don't recommend buying used.

You understand though that the games you want to play will struggle on this setup. you will be playing these games with low framerates on low settings. This wil be mostly due to the cpu. While the gpu is not ideal the gtx 770 was a decent gpu.

Ug I type so slow i started this a half hour ago.

Haaaaa this is awkward now. ;.;

Not really, with an RX 470 4GB you'll be at 60 fps @ high settings in most games 😛. Typically with a few really CPU intensive game exceptions.

Lol. Now I'm confused. Where did the rx 470 come in the picture. @Chugalug_: Maybe awkward but good advice. lol

Well I have a nec motherboard(dont know if the model number or product type just when I start my p pc it shows nec) and I previously had a avertek motherboard but ha it change to nec as a avertek motherboard was not supporting the gt 220 at that time so now I wanna know if my nec motherboard which supports the gt 220 will it also support the gt 730 2gb gddr5 if ii buy it and my full system configuration is-
Intel pentium dual core e6600,6 gigs of gddr3 ram and nec motherboard and I also wanna change my processor to g4560 or g4400 and I I doesn't support then a to join good dual or quad cor under 100$ would also be cool

 

[AVERAN]

So my nec motherboard supports t gt 220 which I gddr3 I guess or maybe no I don't know so I ju wanna ask will my motherboard support g4560 or g4400 and a new graphics card which would probably b the the 730 2gb gddr5 if my pc doesn't support gddr5 will it support gddr3???

 

[Chugalug_]

Give us a budget.
It's time for a new PC full stop.

 

[AVERAN]

My budget is around 150$ and Did u read the two posts I sent above and can my pc support gt 730 and a new pentium processor like g4560 or g4400

 

[AVERAN]

And how much do u think I may get I sell off my old pentium dual core e6600 or my motherboard can u g send a new p build under my budget

 

[Chugalug_]

Don't get the GT 730, its garbage.
Your old system will barely sell for a dime.
Get this as a card, it's the best option for what you want, no other upgrade is possible with that budget and anything higher will bottleneck massively.
$108 after rebate.

OK, your motherboard does NOT support any of the newer CPU's like the g4560 or g4400. You will need a new motherboard to support those CPU's which means you will also need new memory.

The gt730 will work in your current PC but I would strongly advise against getting it. The performance is very poor. Performance/$$ is also poor.

A gtx1050/rx460 or a used gtx760/770 or R9 280/R9 380 would be much better. Put that in your PC for now and then you can upgrade to a new CPU/motherboard/RAM later when you have the money. With a budget of $150 you cannot build a new PC.

 

[urbancamper]

150 dollars is not worth any upgrade you can make. Save some more money. All you would be doing now is throwing good money into a bad situation.

 

[AVERAN]

How about the gtx 750ti is it good and will my hardware bottleneck it

 

[AVERAN]

What do u think about the gtx 750ti is it any good and will my current hardware support it

 

[AVERAN]

Sry for sending that twice

 

[AVERAN]

Guys just saw the radeon r7 250x and thought it to be pretty cool and it is priced around 64$ should I buy it and my my current hardware support it and wouldn't bottleneck it I guess

 

[Chugalug_]

Neither are good value, as I said, you should get the 1050 LP, it's the best value purchase for you until you can afford to upgrade your CPU.
