Still need help

[Kinnie]

Hey I made an another ask community yesterday but I need more options plz tell me a motherboard and a processor to get. Hes my last thread http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-3338833/technical-support.html

GTX 1050 TI 4gb WAS Planning to get ASUS ROG CROSSBLADE RANGER FM2+ AMD A88X (Bolton D4) SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 HDMI ATX AMD Gaming Motherboard

AMD A10-7870K Godavari Quad-Core 3.9 GHz Socket FM2+
95W AD787KXDJCSBX Desktop Processor AMD Radeon R7



But people said it was a poor choice.

I wouldn't recommend ANY AMD purchase right now. The Ryzen release is close.

You are buying a discrete NVIDIA graphics card. There is no reason to buy an A10 with built in graphics. An 880K should be cheaper and generate less heat. But AGAIN, don't buy any AMD CPUs right now IMO.

The big response here is wait two weeks for Ryzen to be release by AMD, chances are very good that there will be much better options for you at that time and you could save a lot of money.

For Intel, first here is what you proposed entered into PCPartPicker

So around $450 budget. And here is what I would suggest. For around the same price you will get an i5-7500

And an RX 480, both much better components.

But wait for Ryzen, you could save a lot of money for similar performance. Only about two weeks for release.

Okay, you already own the 1050 Ti. So three ways to go, lower price, current max performance or upgrade potential
