Pc upgrade under 300$

[bright dust]

I got an intel i5 4th gen
16 gb ddr3
256 ssd
No gpu

i was thinking a 1650 and a ryzen cpu with new ram (i got a spare amd motherboard )

[surreal harness]

do not get a 1650

get a rx580

or a 1660

used

[bright dust]

they are going for like 120 with warrenty used

i found a rx 590 for like 50 $ but no warrenty

[surreal harness]

worth it

[bright dust]

then the cpu?

[surreal harness]

ryzen 3600 is usually the best choice used, check the price difference with a 5600 tho

[bright dust]

is going for used safe tho?

[acoustic lotus]

Reasonably so

[bright dust]

hm

[acoustic lotus]

Look for trusted sellers with good reviews

[bright dust]

there is no 5600 on facebook market place

[surreal harness]

honestly, yup

depend

[bright dust]

thing is there are not many places that sell gaming stuff

[surreal harness]

but if you go for trusted seller

on ebay

[bright dust]

used

[acoustic lotus]

Jawa.gg

[surreal harness]

use ebay or jawa

leboncoin if youre french

[bright dust]

there is no ebay where i live

[acoustic lotus]

?

Like no shipping

[bright dust]

i live in india

there is no ebay here from what i know

and no jawa shipping either

[acoustic lotus]

Use eBay.com and find sellers that offer shipping to india

I googled it

[bright dust]

also 1660 or 1660 super?

[acoustic lotus]

Super if you can get it I think

[acoustic lotus]

Holy shit the shipping is wild

[bright dust]

yea

[acoustic lotus]

Looks legit though

[bright dust]

everything is almost over 50$

thats like 4.1k in my currency

thats alot for just shipping

[acoustic lotus]

Damn

Look for a 1070

Pretty similar performance

[bright dust]

same to?

[acoustic lotus]

1660 super

[bright dust]

what about a 1080?

[acoustic lotus]

If the price is right go for it

[bright dust]

i mean 1050 ti mb

[acoustic lotus]

Oh lemme check

[bright dust]

i can get 1 for 60 $

[surreal harness]

decent, but go for 1060 honestly

[surreal harness]

overpriced as fuck

the rx590 is a better choice for that price

[bright dust]

ik but the thing is idk where the dude selling rx590 went

[surreal harness]

still, go for 1060 minimum

[acoustic lotus]

Check for items listed as refurbished on Amazon maybe

[surreal harness]

that way youll have a decent gpu

[acoustic lotus]

If you have Amazon prime shipping is free right

[surreal harness]

and will be able to save up to get an actual good gpu

or just save up mre

more

and get a 6600

[acoustic lotus]

Based

[bright dust]

hm

gonna look for the rx 590 dude

[surreal harness]

i got a 6800 lol

[bright dust]

i mean my friend has a motherboard with an amd cpu in it just lying around but idk what cpu it is

[acoustic lotus]

Vheck

[bright dust]

and he kinda far away

[acoustic lotus]

How expensive is mailing packages in india

[bright dust]

well

idrk

but stuffs pretty inflated-ish

• hard to find gaming stuff

[acoustic lotus]

Oh I mean like your friend using your government sponsored mailing system to get you the Mobo+cpu

[bright dust]

well i can get that here for free

[acoustic lotus]

You should check it

[bright dust]

gonna ask him to send it over

any idea on what it is?

[acoustic lotus]

If the CPU from your friend is good enough maybe get this https://www.ezpzsolutions.in/asus-tuf-gaming-gtx-1660-super-oc-6gb/

[bright dust]

looks super old

[acoustic lotus]

It does

Might still be a free upgrade over a 4000 series Intel though

[bright dust]

thats expensive af

215 $

[acoustic lotus]

Cheapest on that site

[bright dust]

i can get a 6600xt on fb for that price

[acoustic lotus]

Do that then

[bright dust]

well i dont have the budget

if i do i might get bottle neck issues with the 4th gen

o.o

[acoustic lotus]

Just wait for the to get the CPU then ask again

[bright dust]

found the rx 590 dude

[acoustic lotus]

Nice

[exotic coral]

Nice

[bright dust]

gonna try and get the price lower

wait what is the nvidia version of the rx 590?

[surreal harness]

Dunno

[acoustic lotus]

A 1660 is just a percent or 2 faster on avg

[bright dust]

o

so pretty much a 1660?

[acoustic lotus]

Yep

[bright dust]

can i overclock the rx 590?

[acoustic lotus]

You can auto oc w/ the Radeon control panel

[bright dust]

nice

[acoustic lotus]

Dunno abt manual oc

[bright dust]

so if i do get the rx 590 for 4k ( my currency)

ill have 19k left

that is 230 $

[acoustic lotus]

Find what amd CPU actually is, if it won't cause bottlenecking get a 6000 series gpu

Used

[exotic coral]

Ancient, it uses DDR2

The socket is AM2+

[bright dust]

Then i wouldn't assume the cpu is good

[exotic coral]

Nah it probably isn’t

It supports whatever the hell Opteron and Phenom are

[exotic coral]

Robots in disguise

And some Athlons

How much is a Ryzen 5 3600 for you?

Or the Ryzen 5 5500

[bright dust]

Lemme check

Like 120 $ new

[exotic coral]

Okay

Is the 5500 any cheaper?

[bright dust]

And like 90 dollars for used

Lemme check that

New is 120 too

No used onea from what i see

[acoustic lotus]

How do you recognize this?

I don't know a damn thing about mobos

[bright dust]

probs just checking the motherboard name or what ever?

m2n68-am plus

[bright dust]

Did some more digging around

Gonna go for the rx 590 and a ryzen 5 3600
