I7 4770 still worth buying?
Nuc lover replied to genericusername's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
You should check Hardware Unboxed latest video comparing the Ryzen lienup to the Coffee Lake and Kaby, 720p benchmarks are more relative in comparing CPUs as we remove any GPU bottleneck. Because resolution doesn't affect CPU performance, but it does with GPU. You should watch the whole video to better understand what i'm trying to say here. I know buying a z370 with an 8400 is pointless, but there are some people who don't care about spending more money on pointless things. the best option here is to wait for h310 and b360 to launch and that's the smartest thing to do. -

It's actually better value for gaming than the 1600, even if combined with a z370. -
If it's for gaming, your best pick is probably the i5-8400. Don't get anything that has less than 6 threads. the 6th and 7th gen processors are easily beaten by 8th gen i3 processors. So basically your best pick is the 8400, or the Ryzen 5 1600 if you do some streaming or video editing.

I'd pay extra to get the i5-8400. It's more powerful and not that much more expensive. -
If you're mainly gaming, you should go for the i5-8400. If you do multitasking, streaming, video editing, then go with the Ryzen 1600.

The chip looks great and matches the 7600k performance and I think it would destroy any r5 CPU in gaming. But I doubt it would go successful. The i5-8400 is only 10-15$ more and it has 2 extra cores. Investing in a full i5 system would actually cost less, as the i5 is locked; meaning you can buy a motherboard with a cheaper chipset like a B or an H, whereas with the i3 you need a Z chipset board to take advantage of OC. Also The 8350k will require a beefier cooler, as it has a higher TDP of 91 vs the i5's 65.

Is My Memory or HDD Slowing Down My PC
Nuc lover replied to DisconnectedYT's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
If you can try and make space for one of the games and move it to the ssd for testing. Better than spending money on another ram stick -

have you tried playing them on an SSD? -

Rust is ram hungry, but minecraft?!!!! -

I would say it's the HDD. Try msi afterburner when playing these games and look for ram usage, but I don't think 8 gigs would make you stutter on minecraft!! -
You'd be good with either one, but since you're planning on streaming I'd say the 1600 seems like the better choice here thanks to the extra threads.

A friend's friend is selling a newly purchased 250gb Samsung 850 Evo SSD. The drive is barely used for like 2 weeks. He's selling it for 60$ and I was wondering if 850 Evo SSD's are reliable. I'm asking, because I've never owned an SSD before and thought like I'm a "Dinosaur". Should I get it or should I get something like an Adata or a Crucial drive?

I know that, but technically if Nvidia allowed their cards to run at x4, it would work just fine, don't you think?
-
This might be due to high temperature of the room, these things have silent fan profile, so the fans won't start spinning until the GPU hits 60 degrees. you can manually change the fan profile and select your desired temps, so don't worry it's just fine

you'll be just fine even at x4, so just go ahead
