Ryzen 5 or Ryzen 7 which is more good price/performance

[mikehistory]

Planning to build a Ryzen Rig.

I'm thinking of Ryzen 5 but Is the extra price for Ryzen 7 worth it.

 

Need build advise. Thanks!

 

It will be mostly used in video editing , programming and some moba at a 1080p monitor.

I don't want to spend too much on gpu, what's the CPU with the best integrated graphics right now?

Well there is no Ryzen 6... soooooooo

 

For video editing the Ryzen 7 is easily worth it for the extra cores/threads. As far as AMD CPUs with iGPU's you only have the Cheap Athlon options or the Ryzen 2200g ow 2400g but not really great for your use case. 

[paddy-stone]

There is no such thing as Ryzen 6, so Ryzen 7 is definitely better

 

 

The APUs at the moment, the best is the 2400g, I would wait and see what Ryzen 2 (3rd gen) brings in a few months time.

Micro center has r5 1600 for 79.99$ and if you get a comparable mono you get a 30$ discount too.

Depends on what ryzen  chips your are directly inferring to and weather you plan on overclocking or not.

I think he meant Ryzen 5

not everyone lives near a microcenter and there CPU's are in store purchases only to get the Super cheap price.

on ryzen the best with igpu is r5 2400g, the r7 1700 overclocked would probably be your best price to performance on ryzen, at least in the US. I hear that any video card works the same for video editing, may depend on the program used, but Jayztwocents went all the way back to a gtx 660 when vega launched and all the cards he tested with got the same end result.

I sent my dad to pick one up for me along with a B450M motherboard. Money well spent.

As always it depends on what you need.

MUST BE NICE!  Some of us Live in Florida and the nearest Micro center is  a 6hr drive

I live in Florida. I don't know how you're getting to Atlanta in six hours. I live a lot closer to it than you do (Panhandle) and it takes five.

The Ryzen 5 2600 is plenty powerful for the majority of consumers. Even while recording gameplay in CPU intensive games and simulation my Ryzen 5 2600 doesn't break a sweat and experiences no drop in frames. I suppose if you conduct a lot of video editing and rendering the Ryzen 7 will probably save you some time during those tasks.

Yeah, it's OK, I was being obtuse

 

If you absoloutely need something right now! Then I would go with a Ryzen 7 perhaps, depending on use case... and depends where you live, some are lucky enough to have pretty substantial reductions in price right now. But overall I'd say the Ryzen 2600 is a great buy for price/performance, as the Ryzen 7 is quite a bit more expensive for just 2 more cores.

Is there a good igpu on the Ryzen 5 and 7?

They don't include GPU's with them; You'd have to get an APU like the R3 2200G or the R5 2400G

No, only the 2200g and 2400g have iGPU's or the cheaper athlon processors.

Ok.. I'm thinking Ryzen 5 2600 and rx570 will that bottleneck?

 

and for the ram, is higher frequency better even with a gpu?

[MadmanRB]

Should be good to pair the RX 570 with the 2600, but yes try to get faster RAM if possible.

Overall right now the Ryzen 5 2600 is a great value processor as not only does it have decent gaming performance but those threads and cores come in handy for video editing.

You will not have any type of bottleneck with an RX570 on a R5 2600. No GPU out today should be bottlenecked with an R5 2600. For the Ram, get 3000-3200mhz with as low a CL as you can find, most kits typically are C16 which is good and sufficient.
