I have a Medion PC with gtx 1060 3gb
Pentium g3220
16gb ddr 3 ram
2tb hard drive
FSP350-40EMDN power supply 350 watts
Windows 10 home 64 bit
Which processor should I buy in terms of price / performance ratio? Had thought of an i5 4690k. Don't want to put so much money into an old platform.
Would like to play Minecraft with the PC Euro Truck Simulator2, American Truck Simulator.
And are 350 watts enough for a gtx 1060 3gb?
I would upgrade the GTX 1060 to 6GB and buy a 550W power supply.
I would also upgrade the RAM to DDR4 if it fits.
Upgrade ram? You obviously have zero plan. You can't just switch from ddr3 to ddr4 because there are no boards with changeable slots ;-)
But then I would need a gtx 1060 6gb, a new power supply unit and a new mainboard plus ddr 4 RAM and a new processor. That doesn't make sense to me. Didn't want to upgrade a lot. Processor only.
You can already buy an Intel Core i5 4xxx or Core i7 4xxx at a good price. The prerequisite is that the mainboard also supports the processors.
Then the system is quite acceptable. Then definitely upgrade the SSD!
