Upgrade to a 1070

[Chris Blackwing]

So let me make this clear before I start, my budget is not that flexible.

Is a downgrade from a ryzen 1700 with a X370 mobo to a ryzen 1600 with B350 mobo worth the upgrade from a GTX 1060 6gb to a GTX 1070 ?

Any other combination in the same cost with better results n performance is welcome

If you don't need the 8 cores and don't do SLI, then go for it, though wait with that 1070. If Vega 56 launches at around the same price it might be the better buy.

110% yes.

[Chris Blackwing]

Don't think I will be running sli in this build

[Thinkfreely]

Been stated but unless your going to need 8 cores, or SLI there is no point in the 370 platform. But out of curiosity, what is your budget? Does downgrading the mother board, but not the CPU leave enough left for a 1070?

Only gaming then yes. 

Heavy streaming/video editing and other work task that requires multi threaded performance  then maybe no.

About $760-780 for the cpu mobo n gpu.

The costs r as follows

B350       :- $100

gtx 1070    :-$470
ryzen 7 1700 :-$290
X370        :-$140
gtx 1060    :-$330

So the only 3 components you need need are CPU, motherboard and graphics card right?

If your ok with a mini, which in my experience there is very little performance difference. The Zotac 1070 is on sale for $379. Then you can use the extra $100 you saved, buy a 1700 and a 350 combo

Much better deal than $470 for a 1070. If youre going to get a 1070 for that much ($470) you need to save another $40 and get a 1080.

Apart from gaming i do plan to do some editing, i still edit some vids from my xbox one, 1080p 60fps using a really crappy A8 6410 n a Radeon HD8570 ;-;

So will that downgrade in the cpu affect that ?

yes

[Chris Blackwing]

takes abt 7 hours to render a 30 mins vid

More cores will help with Editing. The 1600 is great because you get two extra cores and 12 threads, so for gaming/editing it is a great value. But like I said you can get a 1700 which when OC will perform better, and 2 extra cores/threads within your budget.

M worried about the mini tho, arent mini's in the middle ground between the 1060 n 1070 ? Or m i misguided ?

No not at all. Mini's just usually have a slightly lower clock and TDP, and wouldn't OC as high, but in terms of pure fps? Like a 3-5 FPS difference.
