    Although, looking at the price right now, the cpu is much higher on amazon then the recommended price on the intel page, so i'll have to wait for it to come done, which is fine.

    Ok, I think I'll go with the 8600k. Thanks for your help.

    8600k sounds a lot better. I want to know how much that will affect gaming performance with a 1070, because the graphics card is usually the bottle neck in most games, so it might not make a whole lot of difference.

    I don't want to go too far out of my budget, and I'm not looking to overclock heavily due to not wanting to spend a lot on an aftermarket cooler. Would the 8400 be a better option?

    thanks for the help.

    No, sorry I explained really badly.

    Sorry, I wrote my explanation really badly. I have not yet built a pc, just choosing which one I should go with.

    p.s. I do care about multitasking capability, but not nearly as much as general gaming performance.

    Just recently, the 8th gen Intel cpus released, and looking at benchmarks, the results seem really good. With my current build - https://au.pcpartpicker.com/user/Dioxyq/saved/DWLGXL - I have a Ryzen 1600 and a 1070, and the price comes out at around $1700 AUD (all parts bought from amazon and umart). Obviously, the i5 8600k has better performance in gaming, however, it costs $50 AUD more. My question is this: will the upgrade from the 1600 to the 8600k be worth the extra $50 AUD for gaming, when paired with the 1070? And how much extra performance will I get in games with a 1070. The 8400 released with 8th gen as well, for $20 cheaper, would this cpu be worth it? Please keep in mind that if the 8400 will give me decreased performance, I won't consider it for $20 less.

    I still might get the liquid cooled edition, don't know yet. I'll be waiting on the benchmarks too.

    Definitely getting vega tho. +10-15% performance for $50 less? Thats a 1070 killer in my eyes.
  12. Ben Cameron
    damn, thats a little outta my price range. Thanks for your help!
  13. Ben Cameron
    is that including the discounts?
  14. Ben Cameron
    On the site it tells you the how much you will save off each product, and the black pack is $599
  15. Ben Cameron
    If i chose to buy everything the black pack is offering, how much would that cost all together? I'm looking to compare to my current part list. Thanks. https://gaming.radeon.com/en-us/rxvega/

    ok, thanks for the help!

    it's free, but it's out of stock

    I was looking around for an AM4 bracket for the Hyper 212 Evo, and the official Cooler Master website is out of stock. Anyone know where I can buy one?
  19. Ben Cameron
    Yeah, the K4 is in my price range and it's ATX instead of the Pro4 which is MicroATX, so I'll probably go with the K4. Also the K4 looks better.

    So I narrowed it down to two boards which fit my needs, the MSI B350 Tomahawk, and a board I found myself, the ASRock B350M Pro4. They are both great boards, but between the two, I had to go with the Pro4 as it was half the price and had heaps of 5-star reviews on newegg. Tell me what you think. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157762&cm_re=ASRock_AB350M_Pro4-_-13-157-762-_-Product

    Thanks for the suggestion. I looked at the newegg page and it seems from the customer reviews, people either love it, or have severe problems with it. A lot of them said they had no problems at all and everything worked fine, while others had problems such as not being able to overclock, raid not working etc. One particular review said that he was not able to overclock a Ryzen 5 1600x on the board, which is what I was planning to do. Overall, the board seems to have many more problems than it's worth. However, i'm still dedicated to the superior multitasking and productivity performance of the Ryzen 5 1600x, so if you know a board which is known to be very reliable, for around the same price, that would be great. Thanks

    I decided to switch my build from a i5 7600k to a Ryzen 5 1600X instead, and I need a decent AM4 motherboard for around $170, which was the price of the ASRock Z270 Pro4 I was going to get. PCPartPicker list (will update): https://au.pcpartpicker.com/user/Dioxyq/saved/DWLGXL

    Could I add a 460 to this optiplex and have it run overwatch max settings, 1080p 60fps? Would it be worth the cost, rather than a build from scratch? AUD here.
  24. Ben Cameron
    thanks, I'll look into it when I'm about to buy. Thanks for the help.
