Pc rig upgrade

[SiD001]

My rig-
Pentium dual core
R7 250
8gb ram
G41 series mobo

Now im on a tight budget, so i can either buy cpu + mobo or gpu under inr11000. These are my choices-
Cpu- fx6300 + mobo
Gpu- 750ti or rx 460

Which will give me more fps ? Plz tell

What is your current MB?

What is your current MB?

I dont know exact model.
It gsonic g41 series mobo

 

[WildCard999]

Oh ok, its a older LGA775 socket MB. Between those two options you listed above I would go with the AMD 6300 & MB, however if possible I would wait and save up for either a Skylake i3 or newer AMD FX when there released this later.

Oh, but other people are saying i would get more fps with gpu.

It all depends, if your games will run a dual-core then keep the Pentium & grab the faster GPU.

Okay, for instance i play witcher 3. It freezes for a sec occasionally and then run at 20fps. Will the gpu improve this?
And also i play injustice , dying light , gta5 etc. Will the gpu improve fps?

And also which gpu of the above should i buy?

The RX 460 is faster then the GTX 750 ti. There's actually a performance fix for Pentiums in the Nexus Witcher 3 Forum (first link, cant post the site since I'm on a work computer).

Will my mobo support rx 460 4gb?

 

[WildCard999]

Yup, just make sure your PSU has the correct connections.

How do i make that sure? :3

 

[WildCard999]

Check your PSU, it should have cables for the graphics card. I think the RX 460 requires a 6-pin connection from the PSU.

Sadly, no🙁. Is there a 4 to 6 pin converter cable? Or would i have to buy 750 ti?

Here's what I bought for $350. ( Intel rig of like parts couldn't touch it) fx8320e, MSI 990 fxa gaming, EVGA 950 ftw, 2 sticks GSkill 4 GB.Personally, I love the " no upgrade path" argument.Like people are going to actually keep gaming on the same rig for 10 years.Want budget, go AMD,. You got the cash to sling around..go i5- 4690k. The games I play, I get a min. Of 55 fps.

Actually , im a class 11 student. My parents have agreed to this after a lot of arguement, so i cant upgrade my rig to that extent right now. I will get a new processor only if i good grade in my half yearlies :3. Thats why i was asking if there is a convert 4-6 pins.

Nope, I'm (almost) 100% sure this MSI RX 460 2gb can be powered by just the PCIE slot and its within your budget for upgrading

Looking at the card I don't see a extra connection for the PSU (nor do I see it required in the specs) so I think your all set.

What case do you have?

 

[SiD001]

[strike][/strike]Okay... But i want the 4gb version( due to high memory and an extra fan). Can i use this?

P.s.- i checked and found 4gb version is cheaper lol.

4gb- http://www.amazon.in/STRIX-Radeon-Gaming-Graphics-STRIX-RX460-O4G-GAMING/dp/B01K1JVQI4?ie=UTF8&keywords=Amd%20rx%20460&qid=1476202957&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1

 

[WildCard999]

The 4gb version should be the same as far as power requirement and shouldn't require the additional power. However you could use a molex-4 pin adapter if needed.

I don't think MSI makes a RX 460 4gb with more then one fan...
https://us.msi.com/Graphics-cards#?tag=Radeon-RX-480
(Pick AMD > RX 460 > Looks like they only make it with a single fan)

 

[WildCard999]

You will need a 6-pin connection or adapter to use that Asus Strix RX 460 4gb.

 

[SiD001]

Thanx for your help
Ill buy adapter and asus gpu.

 

[SiD001]

Bro i bought rx 460 and connected the 6 to 4 pin converter and all . Its all being powered as both fans are running but my monitor shows no signal when connected gpu with hdmi, plz help me.

What is the exact model of your PSU? You need at least a 380W PSU to run that card.
http://www.realhardtechx.com/index_archivos/Page362.htm

If your PSU meets the requirements then you may want to do a few things,
-Update the BIOS
-Make sure the GPU is plugged into the slot correctly and that the connections are fitted right.

If your PSU doesn't meet this requirement then I would return that card and just get the GTX 750 ti, make sure it doesn't require additional power from the PSU.

I have an intex 450w psu.

 

[WildCard999]

Never heard of that company, a quick search yielded some pretty poor comments (no reviews). Even though it says 450W it probably doesn't deliver nearly enough power for that GPU and that's more then likely your issue. Either return the RX 460 and get the GTX 750 ti (version that doesn't require additional power from the PSU) or get a better PSU. This Zotac 750 ti would be perfect.
