Is my PC be good enough for future aaa releases?

[Shivansh681]

I am planning on buying a new computer for gaming, so what will be good enough for 6-7 years at a budget price. I am planning of getting an AMD Threadripper 1900X, a GTX 1080 (you can prefer something cheaper but I need an Nvidia gpu only), Corsair H100i v2 water-cooling. Is it good enough for future/ Is it future proof?

[Mohenjo]

yes but dont buy the threadripper for a gaming pc jesus christ. get an 1700 and a 1080ti or a 7700k and a 1080 ti and will last just as long. 

[Guest]

For gaming only no point for TR. I would get a 1080 Ti and a 7700k

[Morgan MLGman]

You don't need the 1900X, the R7 1700 will offer similar performance in games once it's overclocked. That's unless you don't need the 64 PCI lanes and quad-channel memory.

[Armakar]

For those saying threadripper isn't for gaming, do some research please. The 1900X is pretty much an 1800X (8 cores 16 threads) that will overclock better and maybe have better IPC and temps. It's not one of the 16 core chips.

 

While the 1900X is a good choice for futureproof PCs with the 8 cores/16 threads, I think it's worth getting a 1700 or 1700X and using the saved money for a 1080Ti.

Lol.. Don't get TR for gaming, not needed in the slightest.

Ryzen 7 - 1700, 1080ti will be fine or I7-7700k and a 1080ti.

Also don't expect a gaming PC in 6 - 7 years to handle AAA titles, since technology advances very rapid.

[Shivansh681]

Anything cheaper than a GTX 1080 ti?

[Ryujin2003]

Why only NVIDEA GPU? And why ThreadRipper?

And you said "buy" so im gonna assume you're not building? If not

this is a decent option. 

[JamieTurd]

Yes, but Threadripper is a bit much. If you want to stay AMD then Ryzen 7 is a better choice.

you were ready to spend a butload of money on a threadripper. Just use the money you save by getting a 7700k and get a 1080 ti. 

[Cyracus]

for a pure gaming rig technically the 7700k is best, but if you aren't going for 1080p 144+fps the 1700 or 1600 are great once OC'd, and am4 will offer a longer upgrade path, don't get threadripper

Lol... you first want a TR 1900X ($500 CPU), with a 1080 ($500 GPU), and us suggesting 1070 or i7-7700k (cheaper CPU's), you want a cheaper GPU option? You use the money saved from not wasting money on TR and get a 1080ti. (not to mention the money saved on not using the expensive TR boards).

Something tells me you don't have a budget, or have a relatively low budget (then again idk why you'd spend $1000 on 2 components and then say cheaper when i7-7700k/r7 + 1080ti is less than $1000.

[Shivansh681]

A lot of people were suggesting a GTX 1080 ti.

[Shivansh681]

I should probably go for an i7 7700k and a GTX 1070 then?

And not use TR, and use t7 1700 or i7-7700k.

or you could buy a pc for half the price put the other half away, when you feel like you need to replace it sell your current pc and buy a new one with the other half of the money where you will get to see a nice performance increace

What? No lol

Not if you want 5 years out of it.

What is your budget, because it is definitely not TR + 1080 range, if your saying now 1070 + i7.

Actually considering the 1900x is 2 modules compared to 1 module on the ryzen 7 cpus it may experience higher latency and therefore preform fairly similarly. Time will tell ofc what kind of impact this will have

[Ophidio]

There are to many things not known in this post to give you correct answers. Are you gaming, and gaming only? What resolution? 

 

If you are just gaming then Threadripper is ridiculous to buy. Threadripper is targeted towards people who do a lot of encoding and a high multithreaded workload. Gaming is neither of those.

 

Trying to future proof for 6-7 years for AAA titles is nearly impossible. With how fast everything changes you'll need some kind of upgrade in about 4-5 years. 

 

Your best bet is going with:

 

CPU: R7 1700/i7 7700k

GPU: GTX 1080/1080ti

 

Those are what can be afforded in the budget you were apparently planning to spend on Threadripper and a 1080. 

[Shivansh681]

I guess 7 years was a bit too much for me to expect. I am using a potato right now so it will be a huge step from it to the i7 7700k or an amd ryzen 7 and a GTX 1070. So I am probably gonna settle with it. Thanks for all the support P.S. I know I am stupid, I am new to tech and all this stuff.

If he wants threadripper, let hi mget it. You are aware there's an 8 core 16 thread 64 PCIE lane 1900X that will OC to 4.3 easily? It's essentially a better Ryzen 7 1800X.

Do research before you tell people what not to get.

What no?

What are you reading?

No one mentioned a 1070 anywhere.

If you were willing to spend $1000 on Tr and a 1080, you can spend $800 on an i7-7700k or r7 1700 and a 1080ti.

Something tells me you just trolling, since you haven't tried to respond and aren't listening to people.

[Shivansh681]

GTX 1080 tis are overpriced in my country

Definetely pick the r7 1700 over the i7. The 8cores/16threads will fair much better in the future compared to the i7 4cores/8threads.
