Feb 12, 2013 90 0 18,630 Hello Community! I need your help once again. I built a system with the following specs: I5 6500 Gigabyte B150-HD3P RIPJAWS DDR4 2400MHZ I had a 7850 2GB Sapphire in there, which i recently sold. So, I can sell the above system at about 310 euros plus 120 which i have gathered from selling gpu and other stuff and build a new system with better specs: Gigabyte Socket 1151 GA-Z170-HD3 Intel Pentium G4560 GeIL Super Luce Black White 8GB DDR4 3000MHz RX 480 G1 Gaming 4GB They cost 469 euros. This way i could buy a good gpu as rx480, Z170 (6700k later) and high speed DDR4. But Is it worth it?????? P.S. I care only for gaming and such stuff. NO video decoding, heavy programs! Solution Keep your current hardware and put a new graphics card in it. You would lose out if you moved to the penitum. Not only is your i5 better, but there is almost nothing to gain from rebuying RAM as well. Sort by date Sort by votes Gam3r01

Feb 12, 2013 90 0 18,630 Yeah but my problem is simple. I cannot afford a RX480 now. I am getting Z170, faster Ram, and a decent gpu. Upvote 0 Downvote Gam3r01

Jan 12, 2013 25,412 973 115,440 There is no real benefit to getting the Z170 platform (you would also have to do a BIOS update, which would require a skylake processor), the faster RAM would not offer you any meaningful gaming performance, and the better GPU come at the expense of the processor. Its not a smart move. Upvote 0 Downvote E

Apr 26, 2016 859 1 5,365 Those are not better specs, in fact that's a downgrade, the i5 absolutely destroys the pentium CPU in every way imaginable (except for power consumption). As Gam3r01 suggested. If you only care about gaming get a new GPU only. The 1070GTX would be a killer graphic card for your setup and would absolutely max out everything at 1080p with 60+ FPS.

RX480 can be had for much cheaper than these components combined. No reason for what you are doing, essentially paying a lot of money for minimal gain Upvote 0 Downvote S

Feb 12, 2013 90 0 18,630 Thanks for your responses my friends. But what if i cannot buy a new gpu now without downgrading to a PENTIUM? I will buy a I5 or I7 in 6 months when i have the money. Upvote 0 Downvote InvalidError

I will buy a I5 or I7 in 6 months when i have the money. Because in the long run it will end up costing you more to sell and re-buy your i5/i7. But I can see your point ... that If you want to play games NOW, then maybe there is some merit in downgrading your CPU to spend that money on a GPU because it could enhance your experience in GPU-intensive games (expect to take a major hit in CPU intensive titles), Maybe there is no right or wrong answer here and now that you know the pro's and cons you can make an informed decision.
