What pc to build

[MegaMasterMike01]

I have the opportunity to build these pc for the same price what one should I build

 

 

i7 6700 non k

16gb ram

120gb ssd, 500gb ssd, 2tb hdd

500w psu evga

gtx 1050ti ftW

coolermaster masterbox q300l case

 

or 

 

ryzen 5 1600

16gb Ram 

500gb ssd 

500w psu evga

rx 580

coolermaster masterbox q300l

 

I mostly play games so I don’t care about video editing and streaming I want the best pc for gaming and I’ll also going to upgrade in the futer so I want to know what if these PCs would be the best platform to start and build off of 

[ch3w2oy]

The Ryzen for sure..

[Jurrunio]

Both are not what I'd spend my money on. Also what boards?

 

500w EVGA PSU doesnt give that much confidence, check PSU tier list in the subforums

Random RX 580... You sure it's not used? also if it's an MSI Armor then embrace the loud cooler.

 

And the case is cramped and no good in airflow as there are too much panel than holes.

The second one wins by a mile.

I agree with @Jurrunio though, there must be some kind of middle ground. For example 500GB of storage is really rather restricting.

So you would go the ryzen over the i7 for gaming?

The 1050Ti is shit. So in terms of the builds, yes.

The Ryzen build is better, and if you can get the 1600 for $90 it's a great deal for it.

 

500GB SSD is enough, grab a 1 or 2 TB HDD for additional storage when you can later.

 

Case is weak but you're not overlocking or needing to cool much.  Airflow is good to have but it's not going to put you in the danger zone for anything.

 

Enjoy your PC.  People in this thread are quibbling over a few FPS or degrees, nothing to worry about.

that's the first good price I've seen for a 6700k in a while.

Still, the 1600 gets my vote because AM4 has a hell of an upgrade path, depending on the motherboard you choose. What were you going to pair with the 1600?

I was going to try and get a b450 at a good price so I can upgrade to ryzen 2nd gen if I wanted without having to buy another motherboard

What would be a better case for airflow for around the 40-50$ range?

That's the way to go then. Get the cheapest one with a VRM heat sink, the B450M Pro4-F is a good choice.
