Will a 1500x bottleneck a 1070? - personal build

[da_knug]

So I have been looking into building a new PC and was just wondering if a R5 1500x would bottleneck a GTX 1070? Additionally I wonder what you think about this part list, if you have any suggestions to replace any parts or something like that.

 

• MSI B350 Plus Motherboard
• AMD Ryzen 5 1500x
• MSI Geforce GTX 1070 Gaming x
• Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x8GB (3000MHz)
• Phanteks Eclipse P400S
• Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD
• Seagate Barracuda 2TB HDD
• Corsair CX550M 550W 80+ Bronze

 

PCpartpicker says it's 1077usd (about 1350usd in Sweden :() and i'd like to stay close to that price point.

 

Thanks!

It shouldn't. It's a bit better than most i5s, and those are often paired with a 1070. You should be fine.

Yeah believe it or not a g4560 won't bottle neck anything up to a 580/1060, and since the 1500x is more powerful you should be fine.

I don't believe that the 1070 will be bottlenecked by the 1500X. The only thing I would be iffy about is the CX550. But other than that, the build is solid. I would prefer for at least a gold rated PSU, something like an RMi series from Corsair or an EVGA PSU, but your mileage may vary.

oh wow it's even just a dual core, Thanks!

I'd probably still spend the extra for an R5 1600, but that's just me. Good luck with the build.

1600 is more worth

I'm not that concerned with electricity, But I'll think about getting a gold PSU. Thanks!

The efficiency doesn't correlate to anything but pennies saved on your power bill per month.

The CX550M is good enough (with gray sticker, the one with green is bad).

It wasn't the efficiency that was the largest concern with my statement (but that does help), but more or less the quality of the PSU. I'm not saying that the CX550 is the worst thing that you can get because it is not, stepping a bit will allow you to get a better quality PSU that will last longer, but again, it's not the end of the world.

Ah I see then i misinterpreted you, that's a good point, better pay a little more now and save some headache later.
