Greetings!
So, not so recently a new WoW expansion was announced, and, after I saw new system requirements, I realized, that I haven't updated my PC in a while. Basically, my current setup looks like this:
Inted Core 2 Duo E8500 3,16GHz
Radeon HD 6750
3*2Gb (6Gb in totall) DDR3 RAM
460W PSU
1920x1080 Screen
I plan on keeping the case, PSU and 2 HDD harddrives (750Gb in total) and changing everything else.
My goal is to build a PC for as cheap as possible, but it has to be able to run all(most?) recent games (like witcher 3 or WoW:BFA) at least on low settings. After reading through a few articles dedicated to PC components comparison I made a list of components(and alternatives) that i'm looking forward to buy:
CPU:
Mainly I aim at AMD FX-6300 cos it seems to be quiet good for it's price. (80$)
GPU:
Sapphire Radeon RX 560 Pulse OC 4Gb (200$)
Or
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Gaming 4Gb (250$)
I know that Ti is better, but i'm not sure if it's as better as more expensive, and, i'm not sure, but i assume that Radeon GPU will work better(???) with AMD CPU?
Motherboard:
Asus M5A78L-M LE - for AMD CPU (65$)
Is has 2 DDR3 slots so i will have to buy new 2x4GB DDR3 RAM planks (95$)
Summs up to around 450$ for amd+amd+motherboard+ram
Those prices in the brackets are prices that I have here, in Ukraine
Would be glad to hear any advice or suggestion. Would be glad to hear about near-same-price alternative components that may work better in games.
150$ price increase in totall for components is managable, but only if it really will bring my new PC to the new stage of evolution.
P.S. sorry for my english, i'm not a native speaker (like is a valid excuse)
