Since i know your probably gonna say yes imidiatly PLEASE read the whole post first so you get a good perspective of my view..
So right now i own a fx 6300 with a r7 260x that i want to upgrade to a rx 480 and a mobo wich is only compatible with am3 proccesors ( fx basicly ) Now heres the deal. Atm i have arrouns 380 euros wich i was planning to use on getting a rx 480 and a cpu cooler ( evo 212 ) for overclocking and a new psu.Now i found out i could possibly get a i5 setup thing is i also need a new mobo. Inorder to actually aquire both id have to sell my whole pc for atleast 300 euros and add up the 380 i already had and then buy all the parts using the money and then have to build the pc wich i have never done before and dont really know how to. A few thing :
● I have never build a pc before
● Selling my current pc isnt as easy as it seems totally since i live in hollans and getting someone to buy it can take months and i dont have time to wait that long ( by that point new cards will be ouy lol)
So all this trouble and time just for what? 10 - 20 more fps in games? Lets be honest would you really go through that just for an i5?
This is geniunly the hardest choice in my life lol.
Thanks alot for reading, Any advice would be usefull.
 
I am sorry but did you read my post at all and what the <mod edit> are you even saying?
I said i owned a fx 6300. And you say you recommend the fx 6300 and then you say " so a i5 is a very good idea" Your text doesnt make any sense. Ps i accedently downvoted

<Watch your language in these forums>
 
An i5 6500 is significantly more powerful than an FX-6300.
Hell, it even gets beat out by the i3 6100! :)
I recommend getting a budget H110M motherboard like the Gigabyte H110M-A, and 16GB of DDR4 RAM from either the Corsair Vengeance LPX range, or the G.Skill Ripjaws line.
For the RX480 you might want to take a look at custom models with better cooling from the likes of XFX and Sapphire.
If you're going to get a new PSU, list off the options available to you and I'll tell you what's good and what isn't.
 
Yes but again not answererinf my question wich is " is it worth the trouble" and " would you go through it " And why the XD would you reccomend me 16 gb of ram when i obviously dont have the money for that..
 


Okay, I would have calmly explained why you should get 16GB of RAM, but i'm not even going to bother helping you.
People are trying to help you and solve the problem you have, but you're just being abusive and uncooperative at the moment.
Please stop this. You've already been warned by moderators once, you're on the fast track to a ban at this rate.
 
@Chugalug

You just called me a moron! Thats worse then me saying <language>. Mods !

Also if you call brabbled help then im gonna have go dirsagree.Your answere wasnt particulary bad its just that it didnt answere my actual question wich i find annoying since i spend alot of time on my post. And then still why would 16 gb of ram be a possible good thing for me? Go ahead explain. Inb4 im not going to anymore since your a moron
dont use that excuse. If you give me a good reason ill apologise

Mod Edit for language
 


First thing : replying bad language with bad language is not justifiable. please refrain from it and if you find a post not helpful , you can simply ignore it. someone else will definitely read and answer especially when he sees a weird reply.

Second : coming to your question, No selling second hand is not worth the effort . At max you should upgrade to the 8320 along with the GPU . or hold the CPu a little longer and wait for zen.

Thirdly: Yes 16 Gb Ram is totally absurd advice. especially for Gaming

 
You're right, I probably shouldn't have used that word, but did so calmly and collectively.
Edited now.
@-Mo___ Just in future please try to be more polite on forums, people tend to be nicer and help you more if you keep your responses positive.
16GB is quickly becoming more recommended in games, with examples like Mirror's Edge Catalyst.
It is better value to spend that extra 20 Euros or so in order to get a more future-proofed build rather than spend 35 Euros for 8GB, especially with a H110M board which only has two RAM slots.
A single 8GB stick could have been an option I would have suggested, but given how hard it appears to be for OP to get parts, it isn't a good idea.

 
Another moderator has already warned people for using improper language in this thread. Please don't continue to do so and please stop attacking one another personally or this thread will be closed. Posting different ideas or using facts such as benchmarks to back those positions is welcome but everyone needs to remain civil toward one another.
 

You are quoting an example of a heavily optimized game ( no surprise since its from EA) , besides there is a hyper setting in the Game which ramps up VRAM consumption and maxes out 8Gb of graphics Card. Still the RAM consumption doesnt exceeds 6GB . Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REFdNtdgBKs
Dice has a tendency to inflate recommended requirements in order to generate hype. Its all lack of optimization in long distance object culling .
All things aside , you are suggesting to buy part of recommended build where a GTX 1070 is maxed out. Please be considerate of peoples budget when suggesting things. Just because its cheap in your perspective doesn't mean it is for all. The guy is struggling to get his CPU upgraded.
Sure if one has his CPU , GPU maxed out , one can go for 16gb cuz heck it sounds good. But in utility it doesn't serve any purpose for Gaming , Never saw a game using over 6GB ram and most of the AAA are optimized to use even 4GB . Even if the RAM is slightly below game requirement swapping is done to accommodate it and it only adds short intervals of load times and doesnt affect FPS .
