Current RIGCPU: I5 4430 Mobo: Asus B85M-G Graphic Card: Gigabyte GTX650Ti 2GB PSU: Tauro XTK-TB-0700B 700W Casing: Xigmatek Asgard 381 Hey sifu. I need some upgrade advice for future proofs(like upgrade in future) I wanted to upgrade GC but right now my concern is does my CPU & Mobo still can hold up for next few years? or support new GC? If not I will upgrade for CPU & Mobo first, and then following GC,RAMs etc. For budget will be around RM1k+ for CPU & Mobo both things, or maybe sifus can give some advice? Thank you guys

QUOTE(terence_nwb @ Dec 19 2016, 04:08 PM) No need to upgrade the CPU platform (CPU + mobo + RAM), go for GPU upgrade instead, your i5 4430 is just 5 - 15% slower than the latest Skylake i5, not worth to spend your hard earned cash on it. 1k+ can get GTX1060 6GB already, big upgrade from your current GTX650Ti (at least 2.5x)  Thanks for the suggestion! But if I upgrade to GTX1060, will performance slightly cut down due to my CPU platform?

QUOTE(terence_nwb @ Dec 19 2016, 04:42 PM) Those CPU demanding titles will show bottleneck symptoms, this is unavoidable, just lower down those CPU-related settings in games to reduce the workload of CPU to minimize the bottleneck issue, in overall, you are still good for GTX1060, don't worry so much. There is only like ~10% of the titles in the market are known to be hammering down all the i5 model, like the recently released Watch Dogs 2, the frame rate output is lower in an i5 rig compared to an i7 rig in this game. Is there any GTX1060 models to introduce? Found some reviews still can't get a decision. So far I found PALIT GeForceĀ® GTX 1060 Dual 3GB is quite cheap compare to the other model, is it a good to go? Or others' 6gb version more preferable?
