Processor + Graphics Card - Single Choice
So I have just under 24h to make this choice.
Whats better? OC able Cpu and the deal on the R9 380 or i5 6500 and a rx480
My Rig
CPU: Intel Core i7-6700K 4GHz Quad-Core Processor CPU Cooler: Coolermaster Hyper212x CPU Cooler Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z170X-UD3 Memory: Hyperx 8GB @2400 MHz Storage: OCZ TR150 SSD Storage: WB Blue 5400rpm HDD Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB Case: Deepcool DukaseV2 ATX Full Tower Case Power Supply: SeaSonic M12II 520w 80+Bronze Wireless Network Adapter: TPLINK TL-WN881ND Wi-Fi Adapter
Do you know how to overclock? Are you getting a good Z170 motherboard and a good cooler to support the 6600k? If not, get the RX 480 + 6500.
If so, I'd probably save up the extra $40 and still get the RX 480.
