I'm considering the Ryzen 5 1600, it's around 20/30€ than the CPU I was going to buy. Do you recommend a board that's similar to the one that I was planning to be using?

And you're right. My current computer has an AMD processor (a very crappy one), and I've had bad experiences with it, being it another reason to consider Intel this time. But even tho, is a ryzen 5 (1500x for example) much better than this i5 7500?

Thank you for the suggestion, but since I wanna try to run macOS (as an experiment) I'm going to stay with the i5

Hello everyone, I'm planning on building a computer that's focused not only on gaming but also on web browsing, Office apps, and so on. My budget is around 700€ (around 815$ USD) and I'm getting the parts from Portuguese stores since it's where I live in. Here's what I've come around with: Processor: i5-7500 Quad-core 3.4GHz w/ Turbo 3.8GHz 6MB Skt1151 (199,90€) Graphics card: MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GT OC (169,90€) RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 4GB (1x4GB) DDR4-2400MHz CL14 (41,90€) + Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB (2x4GB) DDR4-2400MHz CL16 (77,90€) Motherboard: Gigabyte B250M-DS3H (75,90€) Case: Micro-ATX Cooler Master MasterBox Lite 3 w/ black window (59,90€) PSU: Corsair CX550M Semi Modular (77,90€) SSD: Samsung 850 Evo 120GB The total price of this is 703,30€ I'm wondering if I'm choosing the right graphics card and if it's worth paying an extra 40/50€ for the GTX 1060 3GB... Btw, I'm planning on running a 1080p monitor via HDMI and a 1440x900 monitor via VGA (I have a DVI to VGA adapter laying around). Also, I already have the SSD so that's off the shopping list, and I don't really care about optical drives so I took that off the list to drop a little bit the price. What do you guys think? Should I change something? Is the motherboard and the case a good choice? (I'm aiming for micro-ATX cases since I don't want a gigantic PC)
