Better combo for gaming?

[matus177]

Hey guys!

 

So I was just thinking and I came up with this. I would like to know what do you guys  think would perform better in gaming. Just asking about these two nothing else.

 

1. Ryzen 5 1600x / Asus Rog Strix B350-F + GTX 1070

2. Intel i5-8600k / Asrock Z370 extreme4 + GTX 1060 6GB

I would take Ryzen and the 1070.

 

The 8600K will give you higher single-threaded performance, but paired with a more midrange GPU, you won't see as good performance as the 1070. The 1600x also has 6 more threads which helps a lot in multithreaded workloads, gaming or otherwise.

If you're only gaming at 1080p 60hz a 1050ti will be fine during the current GPU drought.

1600x with the 1070 would be a lot better. 

 

(I know you're not asking but you'd be buying into last gen hardware. If you can, wait for Nvidias new GPUs this summer and get a Ryzen 2 chip. You'll get a lot more bang for your buck)

Agree with the 1050ti. In my opinion people who are buildimg right now should buy that, wait for new gpu release, resell the 1050ti and go for whatever they need.

Do you guys think that 2600x is that better from last gen 1600x? I mean like if you look at price difference it is ~50€ (160 -> 210) but the performance boost is not that high (~10%). Plus you have to consider motherboard. Is the b350 chipset still good for new generation? Or would be better going with b450 (possible price increase).

Kyle from bitwit showed no major difference from X370 to X470, same is probably true for B350/B450, though we might get some better B450 VRMs this time around.

What's your budget/country and what are you using the PC for?

Not building. I just had a thought so I asked. Ye, saw that video. This was originally posted in CPU's section.
