First one no motherboard?

 

Second one based on a dead platform, not ideal but probably fine for the price

@Ragern I assume you’re living in the Netherlands as it says ‘voeding’ - what is your budget in euros?

 

would you be comfortable building something yourself?

what games will you play? If it's not competitive I'd recommend the Ryzen build with upgrades thrown at it.

Well games like Poe, diablo, Wow, Wot, Csgo, fortnite, Witcher 3 nothing crazy but i was playing on shitty pc with terrible screen on lowest graphic settings, i would like to change it now. For budget option with ryzen and then 1080p 144mhz screen for price difference might be good option. 

Second deal tho provides a really nice screen. Hard to choose.

problem is the graphics card. It can probably maintain 60fps on medium settings in the more demanding of games at 1440p, but I'd rather play 1080p high or very high settings. Upgrading is more difficult for the CPU side as well as there are no higher core count options for this board.

Understand. So if i Will go for ryzen its 1080p with smooth 144mhz right? 

If i Will go with Intel i need to upgrade to rtx 2060/70 to play smoothly on 1440p? 

Summary both options are decent for the price?

your choice of games except the Witcher 3 are all less demanding than average so 144fps shouldn't be too hard, though that needs a) high frequency dual channel memory and b) a faster graphics card. Even in the less demanding ones the 1060 6gb is only good for 80-100fps when overclocked.

144fps and high settings, yes. Last time I heard used market dont exist in your country? Otherwise snatching a used 1070ti or 1080 could be good idea as well. AMD's offering will be the Vega 56 and 64.

Cheaper Ryzen build is more suitable for workstation use (can game but more of a part time job) while Intel build is somewhat unbalanced. I can understand the price, just no idea why the seller would build something like that.

@Jurrunio well used market for sure exist and also i have acces to german used market which is pretty BIG. Im tempted to go for Intel Just because its once purchase and i have everything 2 screens (good and BASIC second) good keyboard Mouse etc. Later on i would go for aio watercooling and better graphics card.

 

Let me know which one u would choose.

Intel since you do competitve gaming. I dont, so I'd buy the Ryzen build myself and slap the fastest card I can afford into it (maybe new PSU)

[Ragern]

Well building system with only New parts would be to expensive for me. Ill think it thro and propably grab Intel setup on weekend then sell gtx 1070 and go for rtx and watercooler for CPU.
