Here is my current build:
CPU: Intel Pentium Processor G3258
GPU: XFX RADEON R7 260X
MoBo: ASUS H81M-E
Ram: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB
PSU: EVGA 500 B1, 80+ BRONZE 500W
My friend just upgraded to a 1060 so they'll be giving me their 960 soon. I thought this was a good chance to make some upgrades. I've heard the Pentium will bottleneck a 960, what's a better choice for me? I don't want to spend too much but a few hundred would be okay. Is an i3 satisfactory or should I reach for an i5?
I know my board is low end but it worked fine, should I bother upgrading that?
And lastly will my current psu be able to handle it?
Thanks!
