I'm going to be building my first computer and I want to use an i5 since an i7 would cost too much right now. Still buying an i5 would be a lot so I'll have to use the integrated graphics until Christmas or something. If I buy a GPU now then I will be over my budget and have to spend a bit more.
I could also just get and AMD FX 6300 and get a dedicated GPU with it for less than the price of an i5 without a dedicated GPU.
I'll be doing the following(use this to decide if I'll need a GPU right now):
- Minecraft Modding
- Minecraft Playing At Mid-Max Settings with at lest 40-60 FPS
- 3D Rendering(Minecraft Animations With Blender)
- 2D/Pixel art for game design
- Programming
- Mobile Game Development
To stay in my budget I would have to only spend $50 on a GPU if I choose an i5, which I don't want to go cheap on.
So should I just go with the AMD processor and just use an i5/i7 on my next build when I'll have more money.
