I'm >>341008853 and it handles modern games somewhat okay. Often I need to tone down things like AA or obviously hairworks but it handles 1080p 60fps in 90% of all cases. The problem is it's hamstrung by its paltry VRAM (1.2GB for me) so Dark Souls 3 won't even run on it.

My GF's brother gave me his old gaming rig with following specs:
Chassis: Thermaltake Armor
Motherboard: ASUS P5Q3 Deluxe
CPU: Intel E8600
CPU cooler: Zalman CNPS9700 NT
RAM: OCZ PC3-12800 1GB Platinum (x4)
GPU: Sapphire Radeon HD 4870 x2
PSU: OCZ-Z850M 80PLUS Gold Modular
No HDDs of any sort.

How shit is it?

I have some money saved and would like to build some reasonable gaming rig out of parts I already have + have some upgrade options Looking at some Skylake i5 + Nvidia GTX 980 .

What should I keep / throw out? What should I purchase? Will I be able to re-use this cooler on different socket, say LGA1151?

My work buddy promised to sell me his less-than-year-old GeForce 980 GTX cheaply when he will upgrade to 1080 GTX.
>>
Keep : Case and PSU
Throw : everything else
Grab either a Zen CPU or an i5 Skylake + RX 480 when it's out and you're golden.

>>341010525
Since new CPU / GPU will not use nowhere near 850W, wouldn't I waste electricity?

>>341005006
>>341006826
>>341006832
Even before AMD's conference, the R9 380 was a better card for the same price (or usually less) and now that the RX 480 is launching in like two weeks, there's no point going for it anymore.

And if you haven't upgraded to it yet, even if you're one of those people that has to stick with one GPU company for some insane reason instead of getting the best for your money, the 960 is most likely going to be replaced by the 1060 at that price range very soon. It hasn't been officially announced yet, but Nvidia never lets AMD go uncontested for very long. "Just wait" can get frustrating to hear in the PC upgrade game, I know, but seriously. If you don't already have a 960, and you can't bring yourself to go AMD for the RX 480, then for real. Just wait. Set your money aside and wait for the 1060.

Seriously though, I don't play triple A fps or wrpgs. I'm a gaming weeb, gimme some jrpgs, fighting games, platformers, DMC style hack&slash and that's basically all I want.

Thought about getting the 1070 soon but now I'm not so sure. Are there any games coming that'll appeal to me? Also I still wanna play some others decently like SFV, Dragons Dogma, DQheroes etc so I guess those are there, still it'd be nice to have some upcoming games to be hyped about.

Junking my voodoo 2 for an ATI Rage 128 was the worst decision I ever made, and I still regret it.

Also, fuck nvidia for burying that chipset.

same here, however for dks3 do this:
1. downgrade driver
2. lower resolution on 720p
3. experiment with the rest of the settings, you will notice that change from lowest to highest settings in everything makes absolutely ZERO difference in performance, so you can even try maxing it all after switching to 720p, not even kidding, even on 1080p these make almost no difference in visuals except for the AA a tiny bit
4. works like a charm, still looks pretty good

I'm pretty sure that's exactly what I'm sitting on right now. I think I bought it in 2012 or something. I can't play anything on high settings anymore and I'm not even sure I can play new games on medium right now. On the plus side, I've been playing the fuck out of gta4, the episodes and batman arkham asylum and city. Those games are great.

Always buy a card that's one generation old, unless money is literally no object. There's always like a 30% "new hotness" premium on the top of the line chips. It's just like cars: unless money is no object, never but a new car; let some other sucker pay for the depreciation.

I'm upgrading my 290 to a 490/x or 1070 (depending on price/performance, possible memecard 2.0) since I wanna go 1440p.
Upgrading to a 390/x would be retarded since it'll give me barely any performance gains.
