I think your cpu is right on the edge of being viable for what you want to do, something with hyper threading would be much better. Also 8GB of ram is not enough for your situation, if its possible you should add 8GB more.

Benchmarks will always show intel with a slight lead but if you want best bang for your money Ryzen will give that to you.

Gaming/Limited Productivity CPU Needed
Macxd replied to Raidzor338's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
i personally believe that the 1600 will serve you better long term, but both will be good for gaming the 1600 though will be a lot better in productivity work. Plus when budget permits you will easily be able to move up to a second gen ryzen. -
yea i did my build last year and i tried a asrock pro and it got suck in a boot loop after my windows install so i went with the prime, which i should have done in the first place. so with that said i would go with a good b450 mobo
-
I have non xmp ddr4 on my prime plus and it runs at 2666 16-15-15-15 36-51 @ 1.2v with out issue if i want it to run higher i need to boost the voltage to 1.3v. And all i have to do is select 2666 f10 and i am good. i can run my ram all the way to 3200 but i don't see any gaming increase with my 1060 above 2666 Oh i forgot to say make sure you are running the latest 4011 bios revision it sorted out a lot of ram overclocking issues for me.

Help with Ryzen 5 1600 OCing
Macxd replied to connorpatric's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Just be aware even though you can hit say 3.9-4.0 with 1.38v plus lets say, the VRM's on the mobo are going to run very hot and without using a actual temp probe on them you won't know how hot they are getting. VRM capacitors will degrade fairly fast long prolonged heat, if you want to push for that high of a oc rig up some sort of active VRM cooling. And AMD has stated 1.42V is the max voltage for ryzen -
I can't say for sure how much it reduces total life span, but i do know is that as long as temps are under control its really high long sustained voltage that will degrade a cpu's life span. So if you can keep your voltage as low as possible to keep your oc stable that will always be better.
-
i would gree with this i had i3 6100 when i got my 1060 6gb and even though games were playable stuttering was present, get a r 1200 with a good b350 board oc it to 3.8 and it will serve you much better in thew long run, plus you have excellent cpu upgrade path.
-
I would because the newest bios will also have security flaw fixes in the newest bios for spectre and meltdown along with the performance increases.
-
when i upgraded to my Ryzen 1500x/Asus B350 last year i used the G-Skill DDR4 2133 non XMP memory from my i3 6100 it took a couple bios updates but i am able to OC to 3200 WITH 1.35v no problem but i keep at 2666 15 15 15 30 45 1.2v because i don't see any performance increase in games above that.

If your budget allows i would go withe 2600 its should do everything you want.

Cheapest cpu that doesnt bottleneck a 1070?
Macxd replied to YourNewPalAlex's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
You guys really don't under stand system bottle necks, this video shows a weeee 1300x pushing a 100 plus fps on 1080ti, yes i5 i7 gaming performance is better but for dollar per frame you can't beat a r1400/1500 and the higher your resolution goes you get in to gpu limits not cpu -

Macxd replied to YourNewPalAlex's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
i would suggest a r 1400 or 1500x neither will bottle neck a 1070 a good b350 mobo and u can easily oc to 3.8 on stock cooling -
i have that arctic cooler on my 1500x and it keeps below 60c in aidia stress test at 3.9ghz its a great cooler
-
FC5 maybe putting a more load on more cores and threads causing more heat then the other games.
