[SOLVED] I5 - 3570 or GTX 1050/RX 470gb

[cediegamotin]

So now I have an I3-3220 and GT 1030 I want to upgrade its components, currently I'm a student means I'm on a tight budget , I'm picking to hardware to updrage my PC for better FPS, games I normally play CSGO, Skyrim, GTA V and alike, I just need your opinions on which I should upgrade an I5-3570 or a GTX 1050/RX 470 4gb? Thanks!

Card would be my choice ,Your CPU has two cores but 4 threads. Card first.
But to get any real decent performance you need both.

Your cpu is currently gpu limited so id upgrade the gpu. An rx 470 4gb will outperform the 1050, but it consumes much more power, needing a 6 pin vga power connector, unlike a 1050 or 1050ti. I have a gtx 1050 and it is very cool and power efficient, but it gets its framerates doubled by a 470 4gb. What power supply do you have and complete system specs? Some cheap power supplies wont work with a 470.

My PSU is FSP 500W, it will bottleneck or not?

How many threads on I5-3570?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

4 physical cores , unlike the i3 3220 which has two physical and two virtual cores = HT
3570 is far superior.

Fsp makes some good powerbsupplies. id trust that power supply with a 470 4gb or 1050.

Card first, CPU second.

 

[cediegamotin]

Thanks for the inputs! I'll buy either RX or 1050

If prices at Your place are similar, get the RX470. First, make sure Your PSU can handle that.
