So I am planning to upgrade my PC over the course of 1-1.5 years. My current build is an AMD FX - 4300 CPU with an R7 240 1gb GPU, 16 Gigs of DDR3 RAM and a Gigabyte78LMT Motherboard.
The plan is basically: Get a new GPU - save money - get new CPU/Mb/ram
The GPU I am going for is either the GTX 1060 or the newly launched 2060 depending on the benchmarking for MSI/Gigabyte cards that come out.
In a year or so, I'll be getting a Ryzen 5 (3rd gen if it's out and significantly better than the Ryzen 5 2600/x, or just get the 2600/x with lowered prices[hopefully!!])
My question is, how bad will the performance of my FX 4300 be with the new GPU I have till the time I can upgrade to the CPU? Can I make it run till the time being or will it be unusable bad?
Side questions:
1) What will be the ideal power supply voltage wise for the new build I mentioned above
2) Will the RTX 2060 actually be worth it? If it is, should I get the Founder's edition or wait for the aftermarket ones?
3) Will the Wraith Stealth you get with the Ryzen 5 be enough or should I consider a better cooling solution?
Thanks!
