I recently build a system with i5 6600K and 16gb Ram. i currently dont have a high end video card. But i have nvidia Gt 710 2016 edition and a Amd HD 6670 2gb Ram(old Card).
But i found intel HD GPU(HD 530) is better than these card or any basic cards.
So should put any of these cards in my system or Intel Gpu is better ?
I do play League of legends and CS GO
Please Help

Solution
In this case the iGPU is faster, if your budget is low wait for the new gtx 1050 ti and 1050, the shouldn't require any additional power and are rumored to be as fast or faster than a gtx 960.


okay thanks
any benefit in that VRAM of those cards or my RAM will be enough?
I thought of amd RX 470, GTX 1050 will be better?
How much will be its price?
Ram - corsair lpx 16 ddr4
PSU- seasonic s12 520
 


470 competes with 1060 3gb, 1050ti/1050 will be in a lower price/tier of performance.

 


for those games you should have gone with a i5 6400, 8gb of ram, and a rx 460 or gtx 950....


XD
 


If i choose gtx 1050 which is the counter models currently available.
 

Hi
I didn't choose this CPU for not only gaming and i got this almost same price of 6600 (offer price) or i would have gone 6500 and i will get a 250$ card but now new AMD and Nvidia series a bit expensive now. 😀
if u could opt me models so could i plan on that 200- 250$ ,thanks
 


200 - 250

you can get a gtx 1060 6gb
