after getting my dollar to SEK converter I see that is abysmally small compared to i5 7600.

From what Im gathering the i5 will be good enough and maybe Ryzen will be better?

If you can wait about a month for the R5 processors to be released, there will probably be some real world game benches to show FPS in 1080 at stock and OCed. The R5s biggest benefit will be the more cores and the biggest weakness will be that it will not stock clock to the same levels as the 7600.

Sir RYZEN R5 is better than i5 cause you get more cores and more performance than i5 at that price point

How do you know?? And the question was best CPU for intensive gaming, no budget stated. I5's can cause stutter due to frame times in cpu intensive games, and ryzen 5 is completely untested

He asked another question that is i5 or R5.. For that the R5 is the answer cause it's clear that it has more cores and better clock speed..has hyperthreading and also overclockable

No he didn't, you did, in fact in practically every answer you have stated R5 lol. Now I'm not discrediting Ryzen at all, however, R5 is completely untested and if R5 series arrives with the same issues as R7 then it cant really be recommended as a pure gaming chip. Whilst R7 is a great range, as a pure gaming chip it can not be recommended - if however you use some multi thread programs and do editing as well as gaming then it's a great choice.

 

The Op asked if anything better than an i5 7600 is needed for CPU intensive games - at the moment the 7700k cant be beat for gaming

The games will pretty much be TW games, ashes of the singularity, PDX games and Starcraft.

 

I mostly play strategy games but Im looking at gettng into other games with my new PC and if I buy a gtx 1070 I get for honor or ghost recon for free.

 

But if I need to get an i7 for my faves Ill have to scrap that.

What do you have at the moment? And what is your budget?

[TOBZLAY3R]

So I should get a i7?

 

I might have some problems with fitting that in my budget. I currently have a laptop and Im buying a whole new PC.

heres the build. I havent even checked compatibility yet but yeah: https://www.inet.se/kundvagn/visa/10282629/

 

[TOBZLAY3R]

budget is around 17000 SEK

i7 gives higher FPS and also higher minimal frames and BEST framestime.

 

Which is why i7 is better than i5 in gaming..

 

Of course i5 will gets up 60+ fps in most games,FPS not the only thing to consider,

 

Some games like BF1 will need an i7 for 100% butter smooth gameplay

 

If you game at 144hz+ also you will prefer an i7

What is that in $$$ or £££? Also you have a b150 board (non overclock) with a k series CPU. Quickest budget slice I can see there is to drop to a 250gb boot SSD + a normal HDD
