@Blind X might want dual channel on that build. with APU's, your performance is HEAVILY dependent on ram performance, speed, and bandwidth

Am not saying him to stick with the single stick. Whenever he has the money he can get another 8GB stick. I know how much important bandwidth is but you shouldn't be compromising on GPU for that reason.

your build and my build are the same price. but mine already includes dual channel memory.

That's what I was asking. You are considering dual channel over a Good GPU? If you agree to that then I am no longer in any mood to prolong this bizarre conversation.

I found a pc on kijiji for $520 CAD.

 

It had an i5 4960k 8gb of ram and an rx 480 8gb

The build I suggested has the Ryzen 3 2200G which is on par with the 4690K and is much recent. 8 GBs of fast DDR4 Ram however you will be compromising a bit of performance on graphics card but that won't be too much.

Its a great deal for 520 bucks but the overall build is more than 5 years old with a 3 years old graphic card. Also the 4690K with the corsair cooler means that it was Overclocked and in 5 years it might have some sort of performance degradation but thats not too much of a issue. The thing to take in consideration is whether you feel comfortable going with such old specs or you build a brand new similar spec system that has all components in warranty where you are compromising a bit on the GPU. Am mentioning the GPU again because its  very slightly behind so if you are not benchmarking or stuff like that then you migh not be able to tell at 1080p but at 1440p that gap will increase because of the half amount of VRAM it has considering the RX 480 which has 8GB.

well i was aiming for an intel chip anyways, the cooler is new. so is the case. fl studio mainly supports intel chips. plus it has an 850 watt 80 plus gold psu and thats pretty new as well. it may or not be the best choice but i have alot of upgrades i can do in the future as i just have to upgrade the cpu mobo and ram, the rx 480 8 gddr5 is good enough for me.

If you want an upgrade path Intel is not the way to go, with AMD you can just swap out the old CPU for a new one into the motherboard with a BIOS update at most assuming your board isn't some bottom of the barrel item (AMD will support the AM4 socket until 2020 and they are sticking to that)

Vega 11 iGPU that comes with the Ryzen is about equal to a GTX750 or so, so while its no replacement for a proper GPU its still very much powerful enough to run most e-sports titles
