AMD OR INTEL ?

[Devel0per95]

So here's my story :

 

I want t build a mid range gaming pc, was thinking of core i5-9400f/ GTX 1660/ MSI tomahawk z390

Then the Ryzen 3rd gen cpu new line is released, So the R5 2600X is cheaper ithink!

i just need someone to tell what to go with and why ?

 

Conclusion:

Intel i5-9400 or AMD Ryzen 5 2600X

 

Best Regard.

AMD!

 

Now lets tell me why:
PURE gaming performance is a little bit better on the i5 side of things. But with ANYTHING else Ryzen is considerably faster. Also mobs should be a little cheaper to get. When going Ryzen, do you still plan getting a 1660? Then you won't notice the CPU difference in gaming much. But as I said earlier: In everything else Ryzen is just faster ;:)

When it comes to heavy graphics gaming (ex: candy crush, solitaire )  Just kidding.

(GTA V, Black ops 4, Battlefield, AC: Origins, etc)

is it worth it to get the R5 2600X or i5-9400f?

R5 2600/x with B450 Tomahawk

 

Or the new r5 3600 with B450 tomahawk.

 

Dont fall into the trap of non-ht CPUs

R5, because this is even less CPU bound. 

Also: you won't notice the difference between AMD and Intel in gaming anyway. Its minor when not using super high end GPUs.

And ilke I said on EVERYTHING ELSE the AMD blows the Intel chip out of the water (and the platform cost is cheaper)

Okay Thanks.

as @goldenlag mentiond above that the B450 is ad good mobo, i agreed!

any other suggestions ?

it is, as longs as you don't want to OC much or have the need for much storage etc. But just for gaming and doing "normal" pc stuf -> fine

 

Suggestion: check out ram speed benchmarks for your Ryzen. There is sort of a sweet spot for the most performance/$$

i will only add an m2 120gb or more and a normal ssd of 1tb

 

for the ram i will go 3K Mhz

 

should replace the cpu stock fan?

Storage/ Ram: nice!

 

Fan: Depends, the stock cooler for the R5s is quite good. When willing to OC or wanting a really silent experience you need something better. But idd suggest trying the stock one. When you feel like you want more silence and/or want to do some OC (wich I don't suggest with that board anyway) you can still get some better cooler (I highly recommend Noctua here).

Thank you for all your suggestion and guides  i will go RYZEN

Is there a reason why you arent considering R5 3600?

Low budget!

looking for a processor less than $200

Okay i understand. But if possible you should try get the 50$ difference between 2600x and 3600. The IPC increase and higher clockspeeds are amazing. 3600 4.0 ghz vs 2600x 4.0 ghz the 3600 is as promised 15% faster.

I see!

I'm buying parts every time i get my salary (ever first day of the month)

i might buy! it depends (i live alone so i need to home stuff and food before everything )

 

but yea i would like to get my hands on the R5 3600

Yeah and if you even wait a month or so there might even be a mobo cpu bundle which will be abit cheaper.

I recommend getting the Sapphire Pulse or Nitro+ versions instead.
