Need help with my Bottleneck situation.

[aryansawant1029]

I built a bottlenecking system 2 years back (sorry, i was a pc building noob) and now i want to upgrade it, but the problem is I'm kind of on a tight budget. I want some suggestions on an Intel Cpu and a Motherboard that supports ddr3 ram and won't bottleneck my GTX 1050ti (Asus).Current system specs: Cpu: Amd A6 6400k, Mobo: F2A 68HMS1, Ram: 4gb DDR3, Psu: 500w. Budget: 150$- 200$ (which roughly translates to 12,000-15,000 Indian Rupees).

Well, if you are stuck with DDR3, go with the fastest 4th generation CPU you can afford. i3-4130/i3-4160, i5-4430/i5-4440/i5-4460, i7-4770/i7-4771,i7-4790

Those last few will basically bring you up to contemporary performance, and allow for much greater GPUs to be installed with no worries.

If nothing in that price range, drop down to the 3rd gen chips like i5-3470 or the i7-3770.

In the US it would be easy to go to an e-tailer, ebay, etc and pick up an entire used business PC fully operational. You can often find those in that price range.
