First of all, at the beginning of my plan to build my 3rd gaming pc was to pair i5 8400 with GTX 1060. But fortunately, I found a great Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 1070 at a discount prize. So, I bought it anyway. and right now, I got stuck again. Why ? Because I found that Ryzen 5 1600 is much cheaper than i5 8400. But of course, before asking this question I already researched about the comparison between R5 1600 and 8400. Found out, both ot them are relatively the same in terms of performance. The Intel is good at gaming but slightly less in terms of productivity, and the Ryzen is good at productivity but also slightly less in terms of gaming.
Then at this moment, I got really perplexed what to choose. Either R5 1600 or with X or even intel. Or maybe I need to pick the 2nd generation Ryzen ? I dont know, I just want my computer to be good at anything. Yep, not BEST or GREAT, just CAPABLE ENOUGH to handle things like ULTRA GAMING (Any types of game), EDITING VIDEO, DO STREAMING, and et cetera.
Help, need some answers.
