g4560 or i7 3770?

[janneauclaude]

Hey guys, I have a question. I can buy g4560 + H110 ( updated bios mobo ) here on my end for $129 but i was offered an i7 3770 and foxconn H67m-s for $159. Which one should i purchase? I'm not planning to upgrade for 3-4 years. Also, what GPU should i pair? 470 4gb or 1060 3gb for these builds. I've been a silent reader for a few years here already and really appreciate some people helping each other. Thank you so much in advance

i7 3770 is the right choice. Get a GTX 1060 6GB.

1060 6GB or a nice RX 480 8GB would pair well with the 3770.

The i7 3770 is an absolutely FANTASTIC deal.
Get a GTX 1060 6GB EVGA SSC or MSI Gaming X, both are good value, quiet coolers.
If you can afford it a 1070 is a better choice given you're not going to be upgrading for a while.

unfortunately I only have around $500 budget for the PC. So if i take the i7 3770, I'm only gonna have around $341 left and I'm stuck with either an rx470 or gtx 1060 3gb

Beware of FoxConn motherboards, I have a few friends that have had a lot of problems with them.
They include a GPU support list and look how short it is. What are the chances it supports RX480 or GTX 1060?

Still will be a nice setup.

Like what kinds of problems? Actually, the original user of this mobo and proce has been using this for 3 years already and he mentioned to me he never had any issues. Will an rx 470 not fit? specially XFX one?

One of my friends had a PC with a GT 610, he tried to upgrade the GPU, but it didn't work.
I mean, just the fact that they're feeling the need to post a compatible GPU's list should scare you away, in fact look at how short the list is. And the latest GPU in there is a 580Ti, if I recall correctly.

I've seen many mobos with a list of qualified GPUs, including ones from the big names like Asus and Gigabyte. And just because a GPU isn't on there doesn't mean it won't work, it just means they haven't personally tested that specific GPU with that mobo. But that's kind of the point of having a standard like PCIe; you don't have to test every instance to ensure it will work. The fact that the latest GPU is pretty old isn't surprising, because they're not going to keep testing old mobos with new GPUs in perpetuity.

I mean, technically if a GPU isn't on the list there's no guarantee it will work. But I'd be willing to bet that it would. Kind of like how both sets of RAM I've used with my current mobo weren't on the QVL list, and both work(ed) fine.

Yeah, I just hadn't seen GPU tests on other vendors, that's my bad.
The story I said above is still true though. FoxConn are not good motherboards.

What LGA 1511 mobo would you suggest though? My proce won't be an unlocked one so i don't need the Z ones

 

[lakimens]

Any H61 from reputable brands would be the cheapest option. H67 will also be cheap. Buy it used for so you will still have money for a GPU.

 

[Chugalug_]

Foxconn are perfectly fine, you're not overclocking it so I don't see why its such a big deal, as long as it runs the CPU stable.
Its PCIE, there aren't any 'supported' GPUs, it will support any PCIE device.

 

[lakimens]

Try the Foxconn first, if it works, keep it.
