I assume that is directed to me since I started the thread (someone else chimed in with their specs). Are you saying that spending the money on the new RX 470 would be pointless and I should go for a current card that is on the market right now? If so, what would you suggest?

Yeah I think you run the risk of getting bottlenecked by your CPU.

I think a RX 480 might be more than you need for your CPU.

But no, the RX 470 will be great value, and be one hellva a boost for your computer (im assumeing your just useing its integrated graphics card now?).

4 gigs more of ram, and a RX470, and your PC should be respectable enough to game with.

If you have a motherboard that can OC, you might look into giveing your CPU a overclock.

Should be able to get atleast 200-300mhz more outta it.

 

How high is your power supply rated ?

Some of those cheap complete packaged PCs you buy from like Dell, ship with minimum required specs on stuff like the PSU.

If thats the case you might have to buy a new power supply as well (when you put in a new graphics card).

I have a 500w power supply shipping to me at this very moment. :)
