First Full Build

Hello Hello,

I´m in the search for a new rig but I'm on a budget and don´t really know what parts to chose. I already have an MSI gtx1050ti and was thinking about moving that into the new computer just to save a few bucks to spend on outer part (will buy an rtx2060 or gtx1660 when I have the money). Is that a valid option so I can get an AMD Ryzen 7 2700x (or a good Intel). I mean running a lower tier GPU for a while isn't that bad if I get a good CPU that will not be in need of change in a while is better than a decent CPU and a decent GPU.

The budget I have is around 860 USD and I already have both GPU and chassi.

Any ideas on what parts to get or any outer thoughts on it?

Whats the goal of this PC? If you're just gaming, you won't need a 2700. What resolution and refresh rate are you planning to play on?

Well, I will mostly use it for CAD software and other renderings, and it would be nice to use my 144Hz 1440p monitor to its full power in games.

The 2700 would save you money and perform as good in workstation tasks- but would hold you back in high refresh rate gaming.

I'd venture to say the 2700 would be better for workstation tasks, since it has higher multi-thread performance.

You can get cheaper RAM and SSD.

WD Blue is around $52 last I checked, and Kingston should be even cheaper. G.Skill still has $88 2x8 3000Mhz on Newegg, I believe.

I thought it would be helpful to let you know that some Seagate devices of the same model and capacity can run different RPM speeds, you can check the part numbers/revision number here and verify what RPM was assigned:

Well, looks like the i7-8700K and the i7-9700K isn´t far apart in price and de 9700K is a bit better (still slower than Ryzen 7 2700x in multitasking).

So my follow up question is. Wisch one should I go for?

  1. i7-8700K
  2. i7-9700K
  3. Ryzen 7 2700x

I´m up for debate on if there is anything I have missed while reading up on these CPUs.
