Question new graphic card

[jostegogar]

hi guys im planning to buy a new VGA sine my current one is nuts and cant even run old games with acceptable fps i need ur advise to buy it
my current pc: cpu core i3 6100
VGA: gt730 :/
motherboard: h110 plus
psu: 380 w green no pin
far as i know if i buy a gtx 1050 series i dont need stronger psu but 1050 is a little bit old and im concerned about new games.
or i can buy a gtx 1060 which requires new power supply. i want to know if 1060 is worth to buy psu or not since its a medium range vga. Thanks in advance

update: after several days of investigating looks like my cpu has some serious bottleneck. however i knew its not the best cpu but never thought its bad cpu. is there anyway i can reduce the bottleneck effectively. or does anyone here have same cpu with a modern gpu? please share ur opinion

There's not much you can do to improve your CPU's performance. i3-6100 has locked multiplier and you can't OC your CPU to get better performance out of it. Only fix would be CPU upgrade to Core i5 (i5-6500, i5-6600, i5-6600K) or Core i7 (i7-6700, i7-6700K). If your MoBo has latest BIOS then you can also look towards 7th gen Intel CPUs, e.g i5-7500, i5-7600, i5-7600K, i7-7700 and i7-7700K.

You'll get the most improvement with i7-7700K,

but that also costs the most.

Cheapest upgrade would be going with i5-7400,

but i'd go with i5-7600 or i5-7600K,

Since 6th gen and 7th gen CPUs alone cost quite a bit and there are already 8th gen and 9th gen CPUs out there, you'd get best value with 8th gen CPU and new MoBo that supports the CPU, e.g i5-8400 and B360 chipset MoBo,

i5-8400 has equal performance to i5-7600K while costing $20 less (including MoBo),

I tried to warn you about this via my previous posts. People will recommend you any hardware you want without considering other environmental variables. Before we jump the gun and make the end user spend extra money to play csgo at 60+ fps lets do you a little bit of troubleshooting first.

Question: Are you achieving the results mentioned in userbenchmark?

This is why userbenchmarks is garbage because they aren't testing your graphics card with YOUR hardware specifications. They are just testing the card most likely with the highest end cpu motherboard memory combo to reduce any limitations what so ever. They purposely try to make the graphics card limiting factor to get the most out of it for bench marking purposes. You stated in your earlier posts that you want to achieve 60+ fps in csgo. I find it hard to believe that we now have to make the OP send extra money based on previous poor decisions to achieve that result, so lets at least to invest some time in troubleshooting and not jump the gun, before spending more of the op's money. What graphics card did you purchase? What FPS are you getting now and what games are you playing, what is load and temps on both cpu and gpu?

OP asked how to increase his CPU performance and since he's running non-K chip, i said what can be done and also suggested several CPUs in different price range.

As far as UserBenchmark goes, OP can do UserBenchmark test to see how his system performs. Also, UserBenchmark would show any underperforming component in the results. OP can just download the software, run it and share the results,

If the issue isn't with hardware, as you're implying, then it must be with software. It's tedious process of figuring out which program exactly hogs the system resources.

Sometimes, it's smarter to go for an upgrade (especially when gain is high), rather than optimizing the slow system (which may not result in preferred results at all). But it all depends on OP and what he wants to do with his system.

it was power issue. y know i thought 450w would be enough for this system but it was preventing cpu and gpu from working at full speed.😕 using a 550w solved the probelm. thank u all for ur help.

Nice to hear that you got your system working as needed.

Though, keep in mind that PSU is the most important component inside the PC since it powers everything.
