Hi i have posted several posts around where im asking about some specific computer parts (mostly parts i would like to get) but as it looks untill start of 2016 i will not be able to spend more than around 300$ on new pc. I would like to know can folowing rig handle ue4 to the point where basic testing and learning on ue4 will not ruin my experience to the point where i will no longer have desire to bother with it.
My curent pc can run it on minimum setings on around 10-12 fps with freeze for 15-20 sec every time new asset (or static mesh) is added to the scene.
I want new cpu and gpu to be able to keep up with ue4 for basic level design, learning and mastering eu4 and maybe seting up basic landscape for my future project
Old cpu a4 5300
Old gpu hd 5570
Old mbo f2a55m-ds2
Cpu> Athlon x4 860k (if anyone knows how big oc should i get to get close to i5 4460 (the one i want)as posible would 4.2/4.3 MHz bring me within 10-15% of its performance? I have Arctic cooling freezer 13 already)
mobo> GIGABYTE F2A88XM-D3H
Gpu> R9 270 <or as i can get if for almost same price (used but from trusted source) gtx 970 but i think bottleneck might be so huge that performance will not be above 270 anyway
Hdd> 1tb western digital green *already have
Ram> Gskill 8gb 1333 MHz *already have
Psu> Coolermaster b600 *already have
I know cpu is not good but unless i plan to keep pc without gpu for 7-8 months i cant pick i5
If i need to oc cpu to what point should i oc it? If i get lucky on cpu silicone lottery (4.3/4.4 oc speed) is there a chanse it would be able to keep up with ue4 for actual project and show performance similar to i5 locked cpu series 4460 and 4590?
