Wait for the Ryzen?

[Walt]

Hi everyone,

I'm building a game PC and I'm stuck at the CPU. First my idea was to buy the Intel core i5-7600K for 265 euro. Then I saw the video about the AMD Ryzen. Do you think for the same price it will deliver the same performance? Is it worth to wait? 

 

Thanks!

Yes. Probably. Most likely,

We'll have to see. Ryzen in general is getting hyped a lot so it's important to keep in mind that we won't know performance numbers until reputable third-party reviews emerge (and not some dodgy leaks from the internet).

 

If you can wait for Ryzen, why not?

At this point in time i would just wait, ryzen is almost here and even if it sucks, the I5 you're looking at isn't going to go up in price

I think so, at least it will lower the price of intel. But nothing is for sure. You can change you mobo to z170 and get a ssd will be nice

The Samsung 960 EVO 512GB is a pci m.2 SSD which is 6 times faster the a normal SSD  

 

And for the motherboard I really want a intel core i5-7600K and therefore I need a z270 motherboard.

did not see the ssd, z170 will work for i5 7600k, both of them have a lga 1151 socket
