Is a i7 4790 enough for gaming?
Posted
I'm planning to pair the i7-4790 with a GTX 1660 Super
Idk if it'll be a bottleneck or if DDR3 is too ass or not (16 GB)
If it ain't good enough can you recommend a cpu and gpu pair for under 170 usd

DDR3 is dead in terms of upgrade paths to go, but is fine if you want cheep abundant ram. The 4790 is still a fine chip if you want a budget friendly build, and the GTX 1660 Super is still a great GPU. Don't expect to play 1440p max, but 1080p will run fine. Pair all this with a SSD and it should be a budget friendly build.
