What Ryzen Cpu is best for it's price?

[Techpenguin101]

I'm most likely gonna wait for Zen 2 chips to come out and then buy a Ryzen processor, but speaking right now;

 

What Ryzen Cpu right now is best for its value?

 

(Take overclocking and its fan into consideration)

What for?

 

office work/720p gaming- a 2200g is great

gaming and some multi tasking - 2600 is great

workstation/streaming stuff = 2700x is great

that will be 2600 for best value

& 2600x for the best cooler (non stealth)

 

so if zen2 have a non stealth cooler for 8c16t, that may be the best overall cpu

just wait &see

Probably Ryzen 5 2600 then, very strong bang/buck at around $165

If you want to spend more like $300 on a cpu, then 2700x would be the notch-up:

Don't forget, Zen 2 is even more power efficient, which means cooling requirements will be reduced. I actually look forward to the ability to cool an 8 core with a stealth.

Eh, kind of. You may be able to get by on a tiny bit less power, but you should still be putting money into a PSU with good internal design. I would still pick up a goof 450W PSU like people with AMD builds have been doing. You would have some more overclocking headroom using less power.
