I had this exact combination back in the day. I remember being impressed by the 1030's performance at the time and to this day I still maintain the opinion that those who talk bad about it don't actually understand the benefits of it (no PCIE connector & single slot) that make it PERFECT for upgrading old desktop PCs with bad PSUs and little space for a GPU. I now have a Ryzen 7 7800X3D and an RTX 4070 Super though, so my budget gaming days are now behind me!

Games were also not pushing so much as they are now for graphical fidelity and framerate so you could build a modest system and be good with that. Stuff that was coming out was in reach for most consumers compared today where everything is massively overpriced for what they are, especially gpu's.

This was my upgrade from a q6600 4gb ddr2 and a gt 640. The difference was huge!

I remember buying g4560 with Gigabyte H110M, 8GB of DDR4 and GTX 750 ti back in March 2018. I was so excited, because this budget build let me play most of the recent (back then) games, and i even sold the entire build 6 months later without the money loss. I still remember, that i paid ~280 PLN (~$70) for the brand new G4560 and that was actually a good price. Now, on the used marketplace you can buy that CPU for as low as 20 PLN ($5) 😂

I didn't need to know any of that. But it was pleasant to watch regardless.

Looked at getting a G4560 and a 1050 back then. Interesting to see that the Pentium is holding back the 1030 in Overwatch, perhaps expected with 2 cores in current year though

I own an i7 7700. There is no CPU upgrade path for me. Still rocking a GTX 1060. But I think with the current CPU I have, I might be able to squeeze more performance out of the CPU by upgrading to a RTX 3060 12Gig (a powerful GPU than this can cause bottleneck)

Not directly related, but when I got an i5-11400, I got a Z series board not because of (impossible) overclocking purposes, but to ensure that there was enough VRM cooling/etc for what I knew would be a high wattage chip. Who knows, one of the Waste of Silicon Rocket Lake i7/i9 CPUs might get stupid cheap in 5-10 years. I can wait :)

i used to have a i5 3470 and that gt1030 overclocks really really good. i loved it for the simple games i played, even ran fortnite rust and the forest acceptably on 1080p if you’re okay with mostly medium settings.

I had a g4560 and a 1050ti combo but upgraded to a ryzen 5 1600 less than a year later. I recently upgraded to a 5700x with the same motherboard. I wouldn't have gone lower than a 1050 during this time considering that would've been a worse experience than the base consoles.

GT1030 owner here. It's useful for older builds with linux.

The gpu that this got paired with in 2017 the most.. was WAY WAY WAY more powerful than a gt 1030. It got paired with an RX560/570/580 most of the time. A much much more powerful set of cards. The rx 560 was only like 10 more than the gt 1030.

I remember upgrading to a GT 1030, 8GB DDR2 and a Core 2 quad Q8300 on an inspiron 545s mobo. And honestly It really blew me away as it really felt like the last thing ill ever game on as it was my first time ever experiencing 60FPS in games and ultra settings at a HD resolution with the games I played on it and made the laptop I upgraded from look like a complete and utter scam I bought from walmart being a $400 HP 15 with an intel pentium n3540 and 4GB of ram. As well as any other prevoius laptop I grew up with streight from the pawn shop because my family couldnt afford a console of a gaming PC. Also wdym 40FPS is bad in Palworld? 12yo me would have killed for even 30FPS even at 480p

I would love to see a mid tier build from 2019! 3700x and 5700xt with 16gb ram comes to my mind. It would still hold up really well, especially on the CPU. I had a 3700x for the past four years and it could push up to a 6950xt / 3090 just fine. Its a 95 dollar chip these days

60 fps is nice, but 30 is 100% playable. Heck, even 25 is okay for slower gameplays and even below that for turn-based ones

I gamed on the modern equivalent for awhile (at least, I think so) - a Pentium G7400 and Arc a380. Yeah, there's worse cards... it was true in 2017 too, at least the 1030 was current, um... yeah. There are always worse CPUs, because, well, Celeron word-processing processors that struggled with much more (ok, ok, the internet was fine... sure...) The Pentium G7400 and Arc a380 actually held a 30-60 fps average in Baldur's Gate 3 - cinematics are what saw the 20s. This was at relatively high settings. If you know the game, it was Act III that made me change out the card. Also noteable, I guess, is the fact I used a CRT monitor at 1600x1200 - so it was like the old school 1080p. BUT IT DID IT. In 2017, this was probably totally OK with your whole Steam back-log... I mean all those games you bought because, well, maybe someday I will play them... but you didn't. (The struggle is real, it used to be books I hadn't read that I owned... but, y'know, progress and all) Also, I discovered you here from a recommended video, and I applaud the algorithm for getting it right.

Oh wow a Vega 56, well when you're done with it, i'll buy it. I hear you can flash it into Vega 64 without issue as long as it has Samsung memory. Either way, an i7-8700K or 9700K would be a jump in both clocks and multithreading for about $100. My brother recently upgraded to 8700K, its still a solid chip without needing to get new motherboard and RAM. GPU is a little trickier since youre on LGA1151, anything newer than Vega or Geforce 20 is on PCIe gen 4, and you could run into bandwidth issues pairing with a coffee lake chip. A used 2080 Ti or Super could be a good deal, not to mention way better on efficiency than Vega. Personally i'm interested in something like an RX 7800 XT. And if an entire new platform upgrade is in your future, i'd go AM5, since new chips should be coming at the end of July, while Intel's current LGA1700 is at the end of its life. A Ryzen 7 7800X3D would be pretty gamer

The i3-6100 still held up better with games that utilize the AVX1 and AVX2 Instruction sets which the G4560 lacks And the G4560 also lacks Intel's Specialized "Smart Cache" for it's 1.5MBx2 Cache config.

Still using G4560 + 1050Ti until now alongside with 2x8gb 1600mhz (OC to 1866mhz) still good for 60fps medium settings RE7

I had this back in the day with 1050ti

You should try the lowest gaming card of the time, the 1050. It probably wouldn't make as interesting a story, or you could try a gaming card you could get for the same price as the 1030 used at the time.

i was actually gonna put this base system together back in the day but GPU wise I was debating myself between a gtx 1050 ti or an AMD alternative, I can't remember if it was an rx 560 or something like that

$100 extra (so 1.3x the budget) would have gotten you a 1050Ti and an i3 (or possibly a previous gen i5 with 4 cores), meaning at least 2x the performance.

I remember thinking about the Pentium, but if I was saving, I should save max I could, so I got the Celeron and an RX460, could actually play a lot of games, upgraded to an I5 6500 and RX5700XT and still going strong, althoug only mobo case and psu from the original remain

I remember this build but in indonesia they always recommend g4560 with 1050 ti

people pair g4560 with gtx1050 back then. Although i am 20, i remember i built my friend a "gaming pc" using this cpu. because that all the budget he had. But with only 4gb of Ram, cause we only played minecraft bedrock edition lol. I used old lenovo laptop with i5 4210u and geforce 840m 8gb ddr3l. Now i have, i7 4790 and gtx 750. and my friend has i5 8500 and gtx 1050, yes it is his old graphic card that he use up until today lol
