Ok, I’ll try that and see.

Intel is clearly running scared with their 8 core consumer i7s and 6c/12t i5s planned for the next lineup. Zen will be in the next consoles, so that will be the death knell for Intel gaming dominance, which isn't to say that Intel CPUs will be bad for gaming, but AMD will have gaming parity within the next 5 years. Intel does still have the lead in foundry tech, but x86 is at the end of its rope. Whichever companies can come up with the next big computing chip will be the big winners. Nvidia has machine learning / GPUs, IBM probably has quantum computing, AMD is dabbling in GPUs and CPUs, but Intel only has CPUs that are losing relevance compared to ARM etc.

Fell into the RGB meme and bought 6 Deepcool RF120 fans to replace my old Rosewill ones. I expected to regret it quite a bit.

Well, I was adamant to post this but I guess you know your shit, Jow Forums.
Current build:
>fx 6300
>750ti oc 2gb
>78lmt usb3 or some shit (got it real cheap)
>8gb ram 1600mhz
>120gb ssd
>scavenged HDD from a dead external one, 1tb @5400 rpm
>cool master PSU 800w
Now, I did want to get this ultrawide lg monitor 25um58 but I keep reading that such GPU won't even handle it at 30fps. I mainly use it for school/work but I also watch movies, some Netflix and have a DAC for music; play lightweight games such as lol, borderlands2, the witcher 3, pubg, and maybe one day borderlands 3, StarCraft 2 and eve. I thought "maybe I can upgrade just the GPU and that'll do" but it seems 1050ti won't cut it, and RX 470 will only pull medium at ~55fps. So now I got options. I could technically get a ryzen 5 1600 and change the whole thing with this prices
>ryzen 1600 $189
>GPU 1050ti 4gb($226) or RX 470 ($216) or RX 570 ($236~$260), whatever that gives me +60fps on ultrawide 2560x1080
>some 350b mb $110

>evga 500b psu $63
>2tb firecuda sshd $70
Those are in usd the prices of said parts in my country. I can keep the ssd.
So, even if its an upgrade, I don't think I'd be playing extremely demanding games. Maybe I could drop the screen and get a normal 24" 1080p led with freesync and change my GPU? That would be A Lot cheaper, although I could sell my actual rig for $342. So, any thoughts, Jow Forumsents?

With those prices, go for an RX470 for sure, it's way better than the 1050Ti. Pair it with a freesync monitor and you won't regret it, adaptive sync just makes everything look way smoother. Don't go for an SSHD though, it's not worth the premium you're paying, go for a plain old 7200rpm HDD.

I could get a barracuda 3tb for $75, the store said they're clearing and that's why they put the firecuda for half the price (the stock price here is $147 for them, they sell it for $70)
>rx470
People say they're superseded by 570, won't I regret it? What I think I could do was get the 470/570 and the freesync monitor as you suggest, and wait for the prices to drop on ram and ryzen then change the rest of the rig. What do you think?
