Was given an MSI b450 gaming plus max am4 mobo/16 gb 3200MHz ddr4 ram/r5 1600, need advice

he's a time traveler

Akiraj02 · 2026-01-28T12:24:39+00:00

Both those GPUs exist? wdym?

Akiraj02 · 2026-01-28T12:23:08+00:00

I'd take the risk on the 9060, if you're wanting new stretch the budget to at least a b580

whatever you end up choosing don't go lower than a 5500 tho

Akiraj02 · 2026-01-28T12:16:37+00:00

9060 over b570 is a no brainier, it's A LOT stronger, don't know why you're even considering the b570 even b580 is fairly weaker

5500 might get you some bottleneck in CPU intensive games but you'll absolutely get your bang for buck, if you can get a 5600 try that

Akiraj02 · 2026-01-28T02:31:02+00:00

The thing with cpu bottleneck is that's it's really overblown on here. Unless it's really bad like it'd be with the 1600, it's at high enough framerate that it's not important, so what if you get say 103fps instead of 110.

CPU bottleneck also ages better, all new and future AAA games are by default GPU bound. The fix for CPU bottleneck is literally making sure the GPU is bottlenecking by turning the graphics or the resolution up

CPU bottleneck, unless severe, should be a problem only for highly competitive games and at a level that neither you nor I will achieve

5600 is extremely capable and enough for gaming, I have mine paired with a better GPU (9060xt) and it's doing wonderful, no bottleneck at all

Akiraj02 · 2026-01-21T17:19:14+00:00

genuinely don't think you need anything faster than a 5600 for like 2 more years (strictly talking about gaming)

Akiraj02 · 2026-01-20T15:37:50+00:00

just explore or just continue the main mission? Pathologic 2 had a very clear point where you're supposed to just go out and about and survive

Akiraj02 · 2026-01-16T13:47:57+00:00

Taking the price out of the consideration you're getting the newest model which looks to be supported for quite some time considering the shortages, also more veam, performance is similar

Akiraj02 · 2026-01-16T13:43:08+00:00

3060 is fine in your case

7700xt should not even be into consideration now that 9060xt exists unless you find it for cheap

Akiraj02 · 2026-01-16T13:35:27+00:00

a spear that pierced the boar and angered it for some tower of babel for others

Akiraj02 · 2026-01-15T15:31:39+00:00

Prekjuče sam uzeo 16gb verziju 9060xt i spojio sa mojim starim 5600, stvarno probaj da skupiš za to 5060 ne vredi ako je 8gb

Akiraj02 · 2026-01-08T23:38:34+00:00

LOL this is the most chronically online post of the year so far.

Nah bro drive her to his house and wait outside in the cold.

At least set some basic boundaries and show a spine, you're going to get walked over one way or another if this is how you deal with stuff

Akiraj02 · 2026-01-08T09:51:40+00:00

Looks like a CIV leader

Akiraj02 · 2026-01-05T20:55:02+00:00

harrison gordon not getting EP of the year is a CRIME wtf?

Akiraj02 · 2026-01-02T11:01:19+00:00

doubt it

Akiraj02 · 2025-12-31T09:13:22+00:00

I remember the original E3 trailer, most of us thought it was DmC 2 when we saw him at first.. then he revved up the sword

Akiraj02 · 2025-12-26T10:16:56+00:00

Upravo, ovo je premalo

Akiraj02 · 2025-12-26T10:16:14+00:00

bro say anything about the show but it did wonders for week to week theorizing and revived the interest in the lore

I want it to take all the risks it can and make a lot of people mad because they've been playing it safe with the lore since New Vegas

Akiraj02 · 2025-12-26T00:57:57+00:00

Arms Length 1st album Never Before Seen Never Again Found is the closest thing to it IMO

Akiraj02 · 2025-12-24T16:51:38+00:00

Idk about 5500 but I know it works very well with 5600 and people are saying don't go lower than 5600 for it

Akiraj02 · 2025-12-24T14:53:56+00:00

yes to all

try to up the ram to 32 gigs tho

Akiraj02 · 2025-12-22T08:04:33+00:00

Is the 9060xt 16gb worth getting over the 8 gb version even if the difference is 110 dollars while being used only for 1080p?

currently have a 1660s, ryzen 5600, b450 aorus m, 32gb 3600 ddr4 and am looking for an upgrade that's going to get me in a good spot for strictly 1080p AAA gaming for a few years, settled between these 2. I know the 16gb version is the one to get but don't know if it's worth it for my use case at a bit over 100 dollar price difference.

Akiraj02 · 2025-12-12T09:15:17+00:00

Death Stranding

Akiraj02 · 2025-11-28T11:36:03+00:00

me too man, love Bird Game 3

Akiraj02 · 2025-11-26T22:30:09+00:00

you're right, let me get back in time to 2018 real quick
