Ryzen Build Plan

[SCAMAZING]

So I'm thinking of doing an AMD Ryzen build when it comes out. The CPU is the R5 1500. The MOBO is undecided due to no selection (yet)

 

The rest of the system is:

So is this good for Ryzen?

Look, I don't want to be a debbie downer but there's no point in making a build plan for Ryzen when we have no idea of how it performs. It could absolutely destroy Kaby Lake or it could be the biggest flop in CPU history (aka Bulldozer 2.0).

 

Ask again when it comes out. Then we'll be more informed on how to make your build better.

I agree with HKZeroFive regarding unreleased hardware but minus those I think it looks pretty solid and from the news and benchmarks I've seen it gives me a lot of confidence with Zen. I think it is safe to say that Zen won't be a flop but what AMD need to make sure on release is the price and basically don't be greedy fuckers like Intel. Even if Intel is still faster but AMD offers very similar performance for a lot less then AMD will be on to a winner.

 

Come on AMD, you can do it

Look, we've already seen that summit ridge can compete w/ a 6900k so I think it'll have that performance, just scaled down to a 6/12 config (maybe).

You probably won't need the 212 evo if they ship them with the Wraith coolers.

You're basing your purchase off AMD's own benchmarks? That's not wise seeing how they could have easily manipulated it to present Ryzen in a more positive light. Wait for benchmarks conducted by actual, reputable reviewers.

 

Hype is okay. But asking for build advice for something that hasn't even released yet is just silly.

Not sure 212 Evo fits on AM4 yet...

AM3 & AM4 are backwards compatible (for CPU coolers)

I'm basing this off the performance of the cooler. Besides, I'm not the biggest fan of stock coolers (yes I get that they're cheaper and all, but I care about performance)

The Wraith coolers actually have pretty good performance. Ryzen will most likely run cooler than an FX chip due to the much lower TDP, so the temp difference will probably be even less.

Also thats not true, AM4 has different mounting holes.

The parts should be fine, no matter whether you end up with an Intel or AMD platform, as the parts should work with both just fine with no issues.  If you're sticking with one GPU, the PSU will be fine as well.
