Which Build Is better?

I have looked into building a new pc for a while and I have come up with two different options of how I may want to build it, these are the two options: one is amd and one is intel/nvidia

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/gqLJWX Intel

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zx6fgL AMD

I am wondering which one would be better for gaming (light), general workstation use and maybe some other things. I have heard AMD is the way to go but with intel coming out with new cpu's and whatnot I don't know how it will last. Also as in long term use which brand would be more reliable over a period of a few years. Thanks!

ryzen is better for gaming and workstation use, it outclasses the 7500 in every way.

Intels X299 platform is really messed up right now, and not worth investing in unless you want to spend $500+ on a CPU so you can have a bunch of threads and actually use all the PCIe and RAM slots on your mobo.

that AMD build is better, better CPU and better GPU

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

The AMD build is better. You can also maybe save the money just by using the stock cooler unless you want a really silent build.

The stock cooler on 1500X is good enough even for some OC.

 

Also, 1080p monitor for $250? I would go for 1440p at that price point. RX580 can handle 1440p at 60Hz.

What about this Dell or ASUS?

you actually need to spend 1k on the CPU to get all the lanes.... Which is fucked up.

 

Also OP if you can spend 24$ more then I would upgrade your CPU to a R5 1600, you get a couple of extra cores which might become handy later on.

Before you buy amp and dac.  My thoughts on the M50x  Ultimate Ears Reference monitor review I might have a thing for audio...

My main Headphones and IEMs:  K612 pro, HD 25 and Ultimate Ears Reference Monitor, HD 580 with HD 600 grills

DAC and AMP: RME ADI 2 DAC

Speakers: Genelec 8040, System Audio SA205

Receiver: Denon AVR-1612

Desktop: R7 1700, GTX 1080  RX 580 8GB and other stuff

Laptop: ThinkPad P50: i7 6820HQ, M2000M. ThinkPad T420s: i7 2640M, NVS 4200M

Feel free to pm me if you have a question for me or quote me. If you want to hear what I have to say about something just tag me.

Lot better than the original post, better psu, keyboard and the 1600 6-core is a much better option than a 1500x
