1600

 

Normally i'd type a response but this covers the absolute basic reasons why. If you need more detailed reasoning don't hesitate to ask

Ryzen 5 1600 is miles better. Won't bottleneck the 1070 (the 7600 can in some games) and will last a lot longer.

[zzzzzzzhhh]

Why would you get a GTX 1070 for 60Hz 1080p gaming, that's a huge waste of money, at least get a 60Hz 1440p monitor or 144Hz+ 1080p monitor. If you only need 60Hz even a 1050 Ti will have almost the same performance to a GTX 1070.

 

Personally, I would go with the R5 1600.

He probably already has a monitor? Which he can always choose to upgrade later?

Still 1600. Resolution effects GPU not CPU

I'm not going to waste time creating an argument about something petty like this, and how you are simply assuming things, but he clearly states it is for 60Hz 1080p gaming.

Always ready to help

[boolin.gif]

and...suggest a good (cheap and best ; p) motherboard for overclocking the 1600

[LUUD18]

Probably going to get a lot of hate for this but if your goal is purely gaming then the i5 would be better at the moment.

There might be games coming out in the future which utilize more cores but at the moment most games use only 1/2 cores.

i5 still has better Single core and Dual/Quad core speed.

was just asking...might get a 144p monitor

You will get hate because you are wrong. Especially when OP is comparing a LOCKED i5 vs an UNLOCKED R5.

 

Please be careful "advising" when you don't know what you are talking about.

OP never said anything about willing to overclock.

 

And I am not wrong. I have read a lot of benchmarks and review and almost all current games perform better on the i5.

1. OP said that in the thread title:

i5 7600 or Ryzen 5 1600 OC

Besides, since i5-7600 can already bottleneck the 1070 in some games, what's the point of pairing it with one now considering it should last a few years?

2. Here's a review from the launch of 1600X, now it's probably even better in favor of the Ryzen chip:

1. He probably means the 1600X. Also where did you see it bottlenecks some games already?

2. In the review the i7 6700 winst in most games?

Did you even read the review???

In the end it clearly says this:

Should you pick the Ryzen 5 1600X over Intel's offerings? Most definitely. The similarly priced Core i5-7600K is convincingly beaten by the 1600X across the board, and the 1600X even registers wins against the much costlier i7-7700K in some tests. These chips give you so much more, and the average frame rates are on par with Intel, but if you do nothing other than gaming on your $1,500 rig, you're still better off opting for an Intel Core i5-7600K or 7700K.

Since you're talking about gaming:

 

Now consider that you're getting 3x the threads of an i5 and the potential to OC both the CPU and the RAM for the same price, while having the same (on average) gaming performance. And as for i5 bottlenecks, run Watch Dogs 2 at 1080p with such an i5 and a 1070. Then enjoy bottlenecks :3

 

OP will not be able to upgrade his GPU later if he gets the i5 as it's already a stretch for the 1070, that's the main reason i5s suck nowadays.
