nvidia also offers things like shadowplay and all of that jazz which is really neat, also whenever a new AMD line launches people say "well newer drivers are going to increase performance" and a few months later they complain about shitty AMD drivers. This was the case at the r9 290x launch and the rx 480 launch.

main reason im so against AMD, every problem is blamed on faulty drivers and never quiet properly fixed

ok then. 

i had to go without eating to afford that at the time

Just now, ZeusXI said:

why spend, what is it? 230$ right now for a 1060? and just save up now and use the iGPU of the 7700k and then you have 230$ less to spend, and 230$ already saved up for the 1080 TI. volta/vega are coming out soon i think (or whatever they are going to release) and prices will drop, so you never know. we might see a 1080 price drop from the 700$ to 500$, and the 1080 TI might do the same thing. so then you arnt trying to save another 500-700$ and just have to save 200-400$ instead. save money

i bought the 1060 when it came out as a replacement for my 960

yeah 7700K is fine if you don't want ryzen

 

I think this discussion needs to end before the thread gets locked lmao

i doubt it, all the admin are busy texting to join the thread, hillarious

Just now, Shiv78 said:

maybe a 1180? lol

knowing nvidia that should be out by christmas!?

Just now, frozeNNN said:

1. Return the Motherboard

2. Buy AM4 Motherboard with R5 1600

read up, not gna happen

Just now, ZeusXI said:

why would you pair a 7700k with a 1060? i would have gone with either a ryzen 1600 +1070/1080 over that any day.  i know you said you got a 1151 mobo, but why would you spend more on your cpu than gpu when games are mostly gpu oriented? minus a few titles 

then the next thing on my list would be a gtx 1080 ti or whatever is out by june next year

Just now, Tiwaz said:

the TDP isnt justified on the ryzen chips, but the AMD GPUs are  the worst doe

i bought an rx 480, was a shitty experience, sold it 2 weeks later, nvidia all the way

Just now, PCGuy_5960 said:

Best gaming CPU. PERIOD, go for it

thank you

Just now, Shiv78 said:

you'll see similar problems with anyone who bought a 6700K at release. Or ESPECIALLY X99 (2011v1)

you make a valid point, maybe next time

Please, don't believe everything that Linus says. Linus claims that an i5 is "all you need for gaming", which is just wrong, because newer games can use 8 threads.

so an I7 7700K

upgrade path better my ass. There are bunch of older flight sims for example that only use up to two threads. fact is that an i5 4690k oc'd to 4,7ghz for me gets me 50% more fps than any Ryzen chip oc'd to 4ghz. The fact that an i5 gives you a tiny amount more fps on games that support 8 threads than a ryzen 5 speaks for itself. Using thread count and not benchmarks for comparison is completely pointless.

ive seen countless problems with friends that went with ryzen,

Just now, nerdslayer1 said:

Linus is not be all end all, he can also be wrong, ryzen 1600 is better than i5, not really a comparison. 

true that

Just now, nerdslayer1 said:

yup, 7700k is awesome, its the best gaming CPU on the market currently, just don't get an i5. 

will do, going against linus on his own forum

Just now, nerdslayer1 said:

... its better for the money, yes my wife has an 1800x build. 

im going with the 7700K, eff logic

look at my profile   

no amd ever, you wouldnt even suggest such mutany

Just now, PCGuy_5960 said:

Minimums are just as important. Bad minimums mean that the game stutters and isn't smooth. Smoothness is just as important as FPS.

more important i would say, those are the most noticible

Just now, Shiv78 said:

lol

 

TL;DR

 

Intel --> 7700K

If you are willing to at least sell the Z270 mobo --> R5 1600 or maybe R7 1700 for better mins and similar averages to i5 and much better future usage than i7. 

 

Kaby lake and future shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath.

If you get 60fps average but dips into 5fps that's a much worse experience than a 55fps average and dips only to 45fps.

lol 7700K it is, not a chance in hell im going amd

it's not about having a heart, it's about getting something better for your money, buy the best product you can for the money. 

dude what machine do you have?

Just now, TechyInAZ said:

Wow this thread just went downhill.

OP just be happy with a 7600K, 7600k is just as capable as a 7700k in gaming even when both are overclocked. Sure a ryzen 1600 would be better, but for pure gaming the i5 7600K is just as good as Ryzen.

i came here because i was confused, im not so sure this was a good idea

Just now, Tiwaz said:

i5 for 60fps, i7 if you really want that 120fps in other games assuming you will be playing on lowest possible settings

im getting some quotes in the morning, lets see how far off the 7700K is.

He said he bought it a long time ago and using his G4560 but OP can sell it because it will sell for more now because Intel limited them

worth a hell of a lot that baby chip, pulls its weight well too, its been good to me, will never find the heart to sell it

1 minute ago, TechyInAZ said:

Agreed a i5-7600K will be plenty. ESPECIALLY for a GTX 1060. Stick with the 7600k and have a happy gaming system.

my ming is more towards that right now and overclock the living bejesus out of it for future proof

Just now, xGGAx said:

Read again, he already bought the z270 motherboard so ryzen is a no go. I say the 7600k should be fine for now. You can upgrade to a 7700k later if you feel like it.

i like you! lmfao reads first

Just now, Shiv78 said:

it's called a return

not so easy, bought it a while ago, been using it with my G4560 for a few months now
