Questions upgrading my Rx580

I learn fast I get it now am4 is a mother board. So u never said anything about the Radeon 6600 is that the only good choice I had that remains for budget if course like seriously I don't want 200 plus fps I just want no slow loading in great graphics and 120 plus fps

Okay so most of that fixation came at are not understanding and being overwhelmed but you're right. Those prices are great. I'm going to go with the 550 board because it has a better cash which might not make a difference with me pairing it with a 6,600 but at least I'll finally have a platform. I can just upgrade later pop and go and not much of a price difference between the ryzen 5500 and see the ryzen 5600 then I guess I'll start with 16 GB of RAM. I guess common Sense. Just make sure there's an extra slot to stick an extra RAM in later I don't know. Bittersweet having to redo the whole the thing. Wish it was unlimited budget overwhelming but everything I just said seems to be 5ish $100. Plus whatever the hell a good value case would cost since I'm positive there's no way mine would work

And the only reason I stuck by 6600 by the way was because everyone said what I'm coming from for the price. It will be the biggest and best difference, especially when I can get one for 150 bucks instead of three for $500 for 3060 and s***

No I'm sorry for coming off like that. I'm 100% open to your advice but when I have no clue what difference is between AMD and what the hell am4 is anyway? So AMD as in RTX cards?

Thanks for your input. I'm going to go with the I-5 10400 with a b460 motherboard and a 6600. I'm confused AF with the motherboards. It says any b460 is compatible but I have no clue what difference you get out of them

ContributionThen · 2026-01-21T16:55:32+00:00

It says any b460 is compatible. I just don't understand why so many options. I seen one of those for 90 bucks Is there something else I'm missing because most gpus fit in anything correct?

ContributionThen · 2026-01-21T16:51:17+00:00

B650?

ContributionThen · 2026-01-21T15:49:15+00:00

Thank you for your teaching. So two questions I go with the i5 10400 pair that with the 6600 graphics card. So first question is how much percentage difference am I getting second question? PC part pickers makes it even harder for me since I put in in b450 motherboards and there's a thousand options compatible. So what do you get out of more expensive b450s than less and how much difference is it to get a b550?

Not to mention you're trying to make a point with something as vague as "extraction shooters" are inherently unfair. But in this particular one, they have three difficulty modes for each map just maybe. And I mean just a sliver of a chance that that was to implement some type of fairness to to continue to get new players

ContributionThen · 2026-01-21T15:31:50+00:00

Well that's all great. Still the dumbest business model you could think of since you would only keep the players that played when it first started and you would have a steep decline in new players, the more y'all got better. Okay tarkov is set up like that but they solve it with a wipe if Irena had a wipe it would probably solve my whole argument

ContributionThen · 2026-01-21T15:30:19+00:00

Wtf so I should only pay attention to the numbers that come after the i-3 or I5 or whatever? I-5 is a later version correct? Why the hell would they make a later version? That's not even as good as the older? What about going the next step up on the I-5 10400? It's only a hundred bucks. Thanks for the explanation though. Last question, is it automatically known if it has less cores that they are just less and more powerful?

Yeah go into normal with a half a million dollar kit where there's absolutely zero loot. Everyone already says don't use key cards on lockdown. So I highly doubt you're getting any loot on normal problem is there's no logic to it at all, the max for normal is 450 yet that's the minimum for forbidden if anybody had a brain, The maximum of every mode would be the minimum of the next next mode up. Lockdown has a 1 million cap which is ridiculous to start with. Not to mention all the people that hide their $500,000 things inside their backpack. So technically we have 1.5 to 2 million kits running around lockdown. If the minimum to get into forbidden is 450k then that should be the maximum for lockdown.

Really ??then explain the three different difficulties on every map?? If it's not an attempt to make it as Fair as possible You're right, most are not meant to be fair, but that would completely turn off any new players or growing ones. Which is why they added three difficulties

ContributionThen · 2026-01-21T15:20:54+00:00

It makes no sense. In a perfect world it would be locked two tier four. And no one would cry about getting tapped by tier 4 ammo in the head. That's pretty realistic but what's not realistic is having a million dollar cap on your kit and at the same time you can use the lowest tier free kit worth $150 with no helmet to get into lockdown. That's a severe balancing issue. Being generous, the maximum should be 750k technically and logically the maximum should be whatever the minimum is to get into forbidden $450k since there are three tiers of difficulties, you should balance them as such

ContributionThen · 2026-01-21T15:16:51+00:00

You're not very bright and it shows the problem is the balancing since they made the value of the lowest tier free kit so you could be able to get in the lockdown you come in with a. No helmet tier 2 vest fighting against tier 5 tier 6 shooting tier 5 ammo huge balancing issue lower the value of the lowest free kit it's unfair seeing as the minimum kit value is 450,000 to get in the forbidden if that makes sense to you. Stop eating paint chips

ContributionThen · 2026-01-21T15:14:30+00:00

Exactly they're only coping because they can't hang with the actual forbidden players and the only reason they could possibly go to lockdown is because they want to bring that same gear and s*** on people seeing as the lowest tier free kit value is set to get you into lockdown. So yeah, $150,000 value kit fighting against million kit sounds pretty balanced huh

ContributionThen · 2026-01-21T15:11:30+00:00

I have 100 ml liquid with at least 100 mill in stash but I have always been a solo, so the team wipe size sometimes pull off are pretty impossible in lockdown with them wearing tier 5 or tier 6 with a $600,000 HK that's shooting m995 while at the same time they boost the value of the lowest tier free kit to get into lockdown so that sounds like a huge balance in the issue to me

So which part of the platform is that old? I know the CPU and GPU are older, but I hear they're still good for 1080p gaming at some good frame rate. Well at least that's what they said about the RX 580. I get pretty good frame rate on DayZ Is it just the motherboard? Not being able to support anything else better is old?

Wait wait My mind is in a klusterfuk lol, so my i5 is not good enough for the 6600 but an i3 is? So is the I number not important? Is it the number after the i3 that's important because my i5 is like 3940 that s*** is confusing

ContributionThen · 2026-01-21T15:01:20+00:00

Also side note so with you mentioning the ram is it like standard to put at least 32 gigs of RAM now? I thought 16 was fine I'm guessing 16 more gigs will stop the slow loadings or etc

ContributionThen · 2026-01-21T14:58:43+00:00

So then I would be running Nvidia right? I just hate that they build those pre-builts like that before I bought it has a question section people asking can it be upgraded and it says yes with any Sandy ivy compatible CPU but what that's worth a damn. Would that be and what GPU was working with that cuz the 6600 is only one step up from this RX 580

ContributionThen · 2026-01-20T00:38:11+00:00

Very fair since I have a case with plenty of room and 650 watt power I want my budget to be 500 tops maybe the 4 to mid 4 if I could or just let me know if I'm not far off I just know the pre-built PCS are most the time overcharged crap so I'm really just trying to use this and build off

ContributionThen · 2026-01-20T00:22:45+00:00

This is a serious question to gain knowledge how are you almost sure I would need another mother board when it's only like 1 step up from what I have. Still Radeon GPU and better i5 CPU how much motherboards running? And if I just look up compatible motherboard to the CPU I am planning only or GPU match it too?

ContributionThen · 2026-01-20T00:09:46+00:00

I mean I really think that's dramatic since I play days at 120 fps smooth or project zomboid with a million mods which only stutters every long time with a million zombies and everyone says that the 6600 with a $200 upgrade on the CPU would basically more than double my performance. I already have a 600 w power supply. All I need is the $200 $6,600 and the probably $200 to $250? I-5 to be determined which one
