The3rdWalker 1,263 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 The 480 is slightly weaker than the 1060. It's a good card.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk i7 7700k, 16GB RAM, GEFORCE 1080, 240GB SSHD, 2TB SSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greboth 2,705 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Good point about free sync, I hadn't thought of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaGarratt 10,867 Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Forgive the noob question but what's free sync? Really can't see your low cost PC remaining low cost if you keep going to the Arcade Club @crispymorgan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispymorgan 1,041 Posted May 14, 2017 Author Share Posted May 14, 2017 Put simply freesync stops the monitor refreshing mid GPU refresh. It stops screen tearing. Its a bit like the old Vsync option on graphics that locks the refresh to the monitor. 20 hours ago, crispymorgan said: I shall also buy a monkeybike......

Nvidia all the way for me and the 1060 is a good card, in fact probably clocks faster than my 770. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispymorgan 1,041 Posted May 19, 2017 Author Share Posted May 19, 2017 https://www.scan.co.uk/todayonly Can someone have a look at the value build for today? looks like a good line up of gear. 20 hours ago, crispymorgan said: I shall also buy a monkeybike......

The3rdWalker 1,263 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Not a chance on the i3, as it struggles to handle the newest photoshop let alone video gaming. I honestly think your original CPU and and the 480 may be your best bet if we are worried on budget.I5/1060 or your original setup with the pentium and 480.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk i7 7700k, 16GB RAM, GEFORCE 1080, 240GB SSHD, 2TB SSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greboth 2,705 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Benchmarks aren't the whole story but a quick Google suggest the G4600 originally suggested and the i3 6100 on Scan come out about the same in terms of performance. G4600 though is cheaper so has a much better performance per £. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispymorgan 1,041 Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 Just ordered a 1050ti. I had £20 vouchers, and it had dropped to £119, so payed £99. Going to build a nice budget system using G4560 Pentium, which should be plenty for rocket league/CS/overwatch/Seige. tronic44 and phil bottle 2 20 hours ago, crispymorgan said: I shall also buy a monkeybike......

The3rdWalker 1,263 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Yes it will be plenty!

crispymorgan 1,041 Posted June 21, 2017 Author Share Posted June 21, 2017 I've paid over the odds for some stuff (most notably the RAM) because I want this unit up and working in the next 2 weeks. I need to redeem my free copy of Rocket league by using the graphics card. I'm still debating buying a new SSD to replace the 64Gb one I currently have as I'm pretty sure it'll just be a pain in the ass moving files later. 20 hours ago, crispymorgan said: I shall also buy a monkeybike......

crispymorgan 1,041 Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share Posted July 1, 2017 So the Pentium delivery date kept getting pushed back, so I upgraded to i3. Managed to save on the motherboard that was on our to offset the cost. Bought a 120gb ssd. Would have liked to have got 240, but I bought a g-sync monitor. Crazy discount on that thing so couldn't refuse. Via the FG App GazzaGarratt and BO7H B4RRELS 2 20 hours ago, crispymorgan said: I shall also buy a monkeybike......
