Hi guys,

as a student i am currently working with a Surface Pro 4 and actually im kinda fine with it even though i cant do much with it. But now i saw this offer and i think this might be a good one. At this point a need a good advice because these two are way to similar

Offer 1:
CPU: Intel QuadCore CPU i5 6600K, OC @ 4 x 4600 MHz with Cooler: Scythe Mugen4
MB: Asus Z170-P
RAM: 16 GB DDR4
GPU: Sapphire HD 7870! with 2048 MB,

Power adapter: 350 W

 

 

Offer 2:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 6-Kern CPU, OC @ 6 x 3800 MHz.
MB: ASRock B450M Pro4-F
RAM: 16 GB DDR4 Speiche
GPU: Gainward GTX 680 Phantom with 2048 MB

Power adapter: 600 W

 

 

in both offers there is a 256 GB m2 SSD + 1000 GB HDD included

both offers will cost roughly the same ~330€

 

 

 

 

I looked up some comparisons. The GPU seems to be equal. The Ryzen seems to be better then the i5 on benchmarks - but in the benchmarks i saw they aren't overclocked, so now i dont know... The motherboard are comparable, but B450 is way newer. Pls correct me if im wrong. Right now i dont have any further information, but maybe i can ask the guy offering.

 

As i wrote, i dont have a need to play games on high settings. Actually i want a good bang for my buck. And maybe if i want to upgrade the components there should be the opportunity in the future.

 

Thank you very much for any advice!

The ryzen system is way better.

All in all good for the price at around 330€? As i looked up the used parts on ebay those bought together would be more expensive than this offer - thats why i am confused
Because there is no real need to buy a system now but in around ~6-12 months.

 

Thanks for this insanly fast answer!

The ryzen system is way way better:

The CPU is a 6 core with a single core speed equivalent to an i5-6500 but 6 cores and multi-threading.

The GPU is also good to have considering how expensive are brand new GPUs.Not only that but it's better than the first system.

And the power supply/ power adapter might allow for a newer graphics card to be bought when you ever need one.

IF I were you I would buy it in a heartbeat!It's such a good offer.
