will a8 7600 bottleneck rx 460 or gtx 1050

[Jay_pcnoob]

im planning on upgrading my pc parts. and im planning on getting the a8 7600 apu, will it be good paired with either rx 460 or gtx 1050? sorry i dont have a lot of knowledge on building a pc. and if you have suggestion feel free to tell. sorry for my bad english

It may bottleneck it in cpu demanding games. I wouldnt recommend the A8 7600 for anyone to buy, especially if you dont care for the integrated graphics of it. A G4400 would be a much better option for a processor and is very cheap.

is amd brand bad? my overall budget is 160 us dollar or lower (that is roughly 8000 in philippine peso and it is too much for me xD) also i wanted it to be quad core processor. this is only for motherboard and cpu. i mostly play dota 2 and planning on playing some AAA games.

 

[Trafalgar747]

$160 dollars for the entire build? The A8 7600 is a $70 processor.

Are you looking to buy used parts? Do you already own any components that youd like to recycle for this build?

no. 160 dollars for just the cpu + motherboard. im upgrading part by part, this time im gonna upgrade my cpu and motherboard first. and after 3-4 months im gonna upgrading my gpu.

 

[Trafalgar747]

In the above part list that i mentioned, the processor+mobo+ram is less than $160. May i ask what Processor and motherboard you currently own?

i currently have an a4 3300 apu with emaxx mobo (dont know the exact model) and a gt 630 gpu. i alrdy have an 8gb hyperx ram 1886 mhz i think? i rldy wanted to upgrade my cpu and motherboard with better ones

The FMI socket is dead, so your definetly going to have to replace your motherboard. Your Ram is good, and can be recycled in your upgraded build.

For under $160 you can get a 4th gen i3 that is a very good processor and much better than the A8 7600.

how about an amd x4 860 cpu? is amd really bad?

 

[Trafalgar747]

AMD isnt bad. I actually like AMD, but its just that the x4 860k costs $100, and for just a bit more you can get a good deal better processor.

but would you recommend the x4 860k?

 

[Trafalgar747]

Nope.

 

[Jay_pcnoob]

Nope.

will i3 bottleneck either rx 460 or gtx 1050? and i'm kinda curious how well the i3 perform since it is only dual core, i thought quad core i a lot better. sorry i really dont have any knowledge about this kind of stuff so please enlighten me hehe!

 

[Trafalgar747]

No the i3 4160 will not bottleneck those graphics cards at all. It can even be suited for a GTX 1050 ti or RX 470.

Yes, 4 cores are better than 2. But the single core performance of a processor is more important than 4 weak cores. The i3 4160 has 4 threads though that better the multicore performance. The i3 4160 would be better than a 4 core 860k even in multi core scenarios.

hi, im using a8.7600 with palit gtx 1050 2gb gddr5, 8gb 1866 ram, dont feel the bottleneck, playing arkham knight at ultra settings, and other games hehehe its good
