New Build High End

[Camelsmaycry]

Greeting LTT Community

 

I'm looking to build a high-end gaming machine, I kinda need help picking between AMD Ryzen 2 and Intel 9th Series.

 

Which one would fit better into a 1440p 120Htz+ set up?

 

The rest of the specs I kinda have an idea of what to pick its just the CPU that's giving me a headache.

 

Thank you

well, we don't have any numbers on zen 2 yey. or do you mean the 2000 series? it really depends on your budget. what is your budget, location and exact use? any prefferences? Including monitor/keyboard/mouse inside it?

Sorry I meant 2000 series always thought it was called ryzen 2, Budget is around $2000 USD, Mostly Trip A games nothing else TBH, No preferences regarding companies and No monitor but I need a Wireless gaming mouse and Wireless Keyboard (preferably Logitech).

just a plain one or anything special like mechanical or something? or gaming oriented?

I mean I just built my pc for around $1700 (not including monitor or peripherals) and I used the intel i7-9700k. If your going pure gaming I would do the intel series.

May I ask why did you pick the i7 instead of i5-i9 or previous gen 8086k?

I picked the i7 over the i9 because the i9 at the time was like $200 over msrp and I wanted those 8 cores and not 6 from the i5. Though you could probably get a away with the i5. Try this link that has results over diffrent cpus in different games

you could get away with a 8700k or even a 8600k/9600k if you want, not that much into peripherals in general, so I recommend that someone else looks into it too

always thought it was called ryzen 2

It actually is, but the microarchitecture is called Zen+. Ryzen 3 is gonna be on the Zen 2 microarchitecture. (Confusing I know). Ryzen 4 (if it were to exist) might be on Zen 2+
