Getting back into the swing of things, so I drug my PC out of the closet after a few years and it hasent stood up to time very well. Currently has an fx-8320 black edition on a GIGABYTE GA-970A-DS3P,with 8gb of hyperx Blu ram, a  pny gtx 650ti, and a Corsair cx 600 psu. As I am a AMD fan boy id prefer to go the ryzen route and want to try to stay under 1,000. Mostly will be used for gaming and media. No desire to stream lol. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thank you. How big of a leap is the performance of the 2070 super over the 2060 ko?

i'd say around 12 to 18% depending on the game...when GPU limited.

I would swap the 1600 out for the 2600 which newegg has a sale on for 124.99 currently but otherwise a very good build suggestion up above.

the 1600 AF is the same as the 2600...just cheaper...same 14nm chip.

have to cut down too much to fit the 3600 in, now you have worse motherboard, worse RAM which is also out of stock at this price, worse SSD (faster but half the size), worse case and worse PSU. And most important much worse video card.

For a 15% faster CPU and a 2tb hard disk drive. not worth the cut :)

Worst case he upgrade to a newer ryzen cpu in a year with 8 or 10 core the tomahawk board will take it.

Odd, neweggs list the 2600  as a 12nm. Guess they typoed but then again they do have thousands of items for sale so it probably happens fairly often.

humm not sure then but i know for a fact the AF is faster than the original 1600 and in testing was the same as the 2600 if running the same clocks (ship 200 mhz slower base clock i think) but i would tune it to 4.0ghz and call it a day anyways.

if i'm not wrong zen was on 14nm, zen+ on 12.

 

1600af and 2600 should be both on 12nm

they are both 12nm. the listing on pcpartpicker is what confused me.

the thing is, i picked the Gen 1 ryzen, defenetly swap it for the 2600 then:

and tighten memory timings. super important for ryzen, and there's a neat tutorial here. no trial&error, and is basically idiot proof

Ahh, I wouldnt sweat it as considering how fast AMD is releasing their new chips its easy to get confused though if someone was to sweat over AMD it might be Intel.

I don't really see much of a difference between the Gaming Plus and the Tomahawk except for Type-C and some heatsink. Also the case and psu are good enough.

That PSU is way too expensive, you can get similar quality for less or better quality for the same price, and 650W isn't really necessary in this build.

Also, r.e. the PSU, there don't seem to be any reviews RN and the policy is generally to assume it's a bomb until proven otherwise. So you're gonna want something like a Seasonic Focus+ Gold or similar
