Need CPU advice

[enjoi480]

Just ordered a gtx 1080 ti for new pc build, selling my current build to friend!

 

im not sure which CPU  to get! I will be using it for gaming (obviously) and streaming!

 

im not interested in putting it in my current build with a fx 8350 i want to build a pc that will do WHATEVER i ask of it and do it efficiently and not break a sweat doing it!

any input will be appreciated and the cooler the cpu runs the better.

@ what price point

[VVoltor]

A Ryzen 1700 would be great for streaming and gaming, or a 1700X that would in theory give you a little bit more OC headroom.

Personally I don't think the 1800X is worth it.

[BloodyWaters]

Get one of the Ryzen 7 chips. If you can, get the 1700X's and OC it.

price isnt much of a factor below 600 is ideal. I was considering the 1600x, 7700K, 6800K just not sure about going with ryzen

The 1700x is going to match up well vs the 6800k and will cost quite a bit less. The mobo options would also be more affordable vs x99. Am4 also should have an upgrade path, where x99 is hitting eol status.

what is eol status

[tekgeek1205]

If I had 600USD to spend on a CPU I would get the 1800x. I mean might as well, right?  

 

FX-9590 owner so take my opinion as you please. 

 

eol=end of life

Get the e5-2683 v3 14-28 thread x99 cpu
costs around 400~$
have one myself
modded the turboboost on all cores to go up to 3ghz!

End of life. It will not be used for any future CPUs.

The extra cores aren't worth the hit to clock speed. A r7 1700x should be able to give ~ 30% clock boost with more and enough cores and threads for gaming and streaming.

The passmark says otherwise

you get more PCIE lanes, Cache and various x99 benefits on the

E5-2683 v3

rather than the

AMD Ryzen 7 1700X

Wait for X299

[NrKj105]

it should be delayed until january 2018
but if not it will launch August 2017 am i right?

[PCGuy_5960]

@NrKj105 Why did you mark my post as funny?

[eira]

R7 would be worth it IMO. X99 boards are E X P E N $ I V E

True but personnally i got an X99E WS for 250$ as refurbished , still works

Well you're comparing a 14core to an 8core. With that in mind the 8core does extremely well against it.

You got a brilliant deal there. 

 

[NrKj105]

you can get the e5 2683 v3 for around 300usd + shipping

Not as good for gaming due to lower clock speeds though, plus that's used so it's nothing like being new. Not to mention worse upgrade path.

 

If you were reasonable you'd be recommending an 8 core xeon, not a 14 core one.

Plus, it is an engineering sample.... You shouldn't buy engineering samples, they have a crap ton of issues and don't work on all motherboards...

Ok, if you want the best bang for your buck ryzen 7 setup. Buy the R7 1700 and the asrock taichi (best VRM out of all the mobos and the best colour scheme imo). Pair that with atleast 3000 or 3200 mhz RAM and BOOM. You are good for atleast 3 years. And when the final AM4 cpu comes out, Upgrade to that and BOOM, another three years.

If you take a look at the single thread performance, the Ryzen beats the Xeon. For a gaming machine single threaded performance still reigns king. Thanks for providing support for my previous statement. So like I stated earlier the increased core count for this use case isn't worth the loss of clock speed.
