Gaming and game development

Is it better to buy ryzen 5 1500 x + RX 460 or g4560+rx 470. The price is virtually the same. The main purpose of the pc will be Unreal engine game development and medium/high gaming. With unreal engine being the priority

how long can you wait and save up ?

I mean, he rx460 is fine. but if you can wait a little, getting a better gpu right from the start will be better.

whats the rest of the build ?
(ram, ssd...)

I think that the balance bethween those two would be ideal. I would grab a ryzen 5 1400 and gather some more money for a rx470 or gtx1050ti

16 gab of ram 2400 mhz , samsung 850 evo 256 or 128 GB i will see

only get 8gb of ram and get a better cpu/gpu

[XspazzayX]

The price is the problem. In my country ryzen 5 1600 + RX 570 costs 700 dollars

g4560+570 only get 8gb of ram and see if u can get a 580 or 480

I'd go for a 570, SSD, and a decent amount of RAM. If you don't have and SSD, you'll be waiting a couple minutes for it to initialize. 

[XspazzayX]

But are you sure g4560 would be good enough for Unreal engine since it only has 2 physical cores

This would also be good. It has a high clock speed, so it'd still be good on compile times, and you get a better GPU for testing your game once it's up and running.

no. don't underestimate the value of more ram.

im at 16 and I get up to 99% REAL fast.

mostly for unreal engine and other apps. they take up a lot of ram. multitasking ftw !

when i am on bf1 i only hit like 9gb usage

It runs decently on my PC with a dual core (No hyper threading) Pentium and 1050 Ti. Though I think Unreal Engine favors four cores. 

 

EDIT: The recommended spec is a quad core CPU. Though it still runs fine a dual core, as long as you have a good GPU.

are you seriously reccomending a DUAL CORE PENTIUM for a 3d game engine ?

1400 is crap at least get a 1500x

and 1600 is like 20 pound more than 1500x i would get that

The 1400 has half the l3 cache of the 1500x, but that doesn't make a noticable diffrence. And The 1400 can be OC'd just as high as the 1500x. The only advantage of the 1500x is the slightly better cooler.

Nope. But I'm saying that in my experience, it runs better with a nicer GPU. If the OP can't afford both a quad core CPU and a 570, then he should get a dual core (And this is a dual core, hyperthreaded, 3.5GHz Pentium, basically an i3) with the 570. I've tried to run it on my 2012 MacBook Pro (2.5GHc Dual core HT i5, iGPU, 16GB RAM, SSD) and it runs like crap. Tried it on a 2012 iMac (2.9GHz dual core HT i5, GT 650M 512MB, 8GB RAM, spinning HDD) and it takes forever to load and doesn't run very well. But I can run it on my 2.9GHz, non-HT dual core Pentium, with a GTX 1050 Ti, and it runs pretty smoothly. IMO, it's the GPU that makes the biggest difference. You'll probs notice it even more once you start adding high quality textures or a bunch of objects. With the slower CPU, compile times might be slower, but the actual game, in the viewport, will be much smoother, so you'll be able to see how it runs on a decent GPU.

whats your budget ?
(something we all should have asked a lot sooner XD)

[XspazzayX]

We cant really talk about budegt since a PC that costs 800 in THE USA costs over 1100 dollar in my country and im using the cheapest store available

[XspazzayX]

It would be super easy if i lived in the USA since i could spend 900 dollars and get a great PC. But here in my country for 900 dollars i cant get much more than g4560+rx 470 or Ryzen 1500+rx 460

[XspazzayX]

Would RX 560 be good for Unreal engine game development. Dont ask me about CPU or RAM because i already got that figured out
