Ryzen 5 build vs i5 build (read the question thoroughly)

Purpose:

 

Gaming AND 3D work: New and most titles at HD or FULL HD @30fps (average) at medium to high settings. Not interested in 2k or 4k gaming.

 

I am not interested in ultra settings, more than 1 monitor setup, fancy LED backlights, aesthetics, overclocking.

 

BUDGET: Exceeding by ~$140.

 

i5 build: https://in.pcpartpicker.com/user/abhinav1337/saved/6VZmGX

It's not bad value but I would personally go Ryzen, not sure how it is priced there on India though.... a 1400 is a better pick than the i5 7500 personally saying.

That's more cheap but a b350 mobo is expensive as a Z270 mobo in india

I don't get this part. You mean the build or the CPU? It is priced around 15,500.

The build as a whole isn't bad... I just think that a ryzen 5 CPU would prove better since it has more threads which means it is more future proof... roughly speaking

How much would you rate this build on a scale of 1-10, 1 being crap.

xD just commented informative.  @Folktale consider nabbing a older gen i7, they go really cheap and will smoothly outperform a 7500

I give it a 5, it will play games fine, but not at the best quality, considering the tight budget is hard to change stuff... a SSD is always desirable for boot driver but not of extreme need... the monitor is no big deal... 21inch 1080p is meh... the sweetspot for 1080p is 24inch... a 1050ti can do any gaming on 1080p but not at the highest settings... and like I said the expected life of an i5 right now is very little compared to the i7 and ryzen.

I give it a 6.5/10 because of your sticking with intel/Nvidia to the point of harming your build.  An RX 470/570 will outperform a 1050 ti for about the same price and a 1400 will pretty easily wipe the floor with the 7500, especially when more games use lots of threads.

i7 processors are insanely priced compared to i5. Sa, a very big no.

I'd give this build an 8.5/10.  It is the best you can get for your budget (aside from switching to ssd perhaps)  It also costs less!  And it outperforms the i5 build

I think you are wrong here. I saw many videos of 1050ti playing at ultra and high settings at Full HD settings.

I own a 1050 ti, you are somewhat correct there.  It will play esports games on high-ultra, everything els on mediumish graphics.  1050 ti is your best option

Get a 1400.  The 1050 ti will run those titles decently but most are CPU heavy games that will benefit massively from the extra cores on the 1400.

Nope. The RX470 is costly compared to 1050ti :(
