I would recommend getting the Ryzen 1600 over the i5 7500. The PSU is good enough for your build.

Well the Ryzen 5 1600 is better than the intel i5 7500 but it's your choice. Your PSU should be fine.

[johnny5c]

You'll be drawing around 300 watts with the i5 and 1060 so you're good.

[inlowj]

Yes it will be enough wattage to power your upgrade!

[Anghammarad]

with the latest bios you should be good to go.

Thats over 300+ Euros instead of 200 for i5

Yeap, updated it last night ^^

Guy this isn't a debate of ryzen is better or not. There is a preexisting system that just needs a new cpu. no complete haulover.

Save up for an i7 or 8th gen i5.  The new i5 may have 6 cores, worth a couple of weeks to months wait imo.

Well imma just buy 8th gen i5 when it comes out, and give this i5 to my gfs pc, who is rocking i3 6100 aswell, but she is using her pc just for world of warcraft, soo its all guud.

Wow won't see much of an improvement, extra cores are meaningless there.  Plz get an i7

Maybe i should just drop everything and go for i7 -6950k? And be done with it? Or wait for i9 and go with that ...

[Anghammarad]

with the H model chipset. K models are out of the question. 

 

Then regarding I5 or I7 depends on what the machine is used for. Unless it is used only for multicore optimized applications/games, the I5 should be more than enough. Ok ok no overclocking etc. 

 

And there aren't so many titles right now that gain form having more cores in regards of games. For video editing that is another thing, there would, depending on the software, be an enormous speed boost regarding the I7.

Jesus, I can't tell if you're trolling lol.  An i7 6700,6700k,7700 or 7700k will give a great boost that will give you very long and short term gains.

[Anghammarad]

Aaaand to be a nitpicker myself, the PSU is ok if not too old. If it is older than 5 years think about swapping it out. Preferrably with 500-550 watts. Such a PSU is able to keep up for a while and isn't running in the upper quarter of its ability.

 

Edit: just read the Entry again. and I think this answers the question =P

God, i dont need anything higher than i5 for my games, imma be completely fine with i5. I was fine with i3, i just need it cause i3 cant realy run PUB.

Why are people going completely off topic? He asked if his psu would be good enough, not which cpu he would get.

yes this plan will work. you dont need to upgrade the psu. the psu will have 200w left and thats enough power to also game with this psu

Don't ! Really

 

Adata has excellent Ram, but their SSD lack. Grab a crucial for example, should be the same price range but much more reliable.

 

I really hate to do that to ADATA because I really love their Rams, but SSDs from them is a whole other thing which is a pity.
