So the price difference between the two prebuilds is 123 euros more for the AMD build, is it worth it?
The main purpose of the pc is for virtualization (gns3, linux vms) & coding.
other activities: light gaming(cs:go) and editing
Intel build:
MSI GeForce GTX 1060 3GT OC, 3GB GDDR5
Biostar B250GT3 - Intel B250
Crucial Ballistix Sport LT, 8 GB RAM DDR4, 2400 MHz
Intel Core i5-8400
SSD Patriot Burst - 240GB
Evolveo - 550W
price: 604 euros
AMD build:
ASRock Radeon Phantom Gaming D RX580 8G OC, 8GB GDDR5
ASUS PRIME A320M-R - AMD A320
Crucial Ballistix Sport LT, 8 GB RAM DDR4, 2400 MHz
SSD Patriot Burst - 240GB
Evolveo - 550W
Ryzen 7 2700
price: 727 euros.
My concerns are if 6 cores in the Intel is good enough for future proof?
Is the price difference worth it considering 2 more cores, a better stock cooler, higher clock rate?
Are the GPUs equivalent considering the memory (3gb vs 8gb) and how much difference is it to justify the price?
The Intel build does come up with a better Motherboard and case but I don't plan to overclock.
Your help is much appreciated thanks :)
