Second build ever looking for more options

[NedlohSugnid]

Hey guys, I'm trying to piece together a build for around 700 - 750 (the cheaper the better). Its been awhile since I've built a PC, like SSDs weren't really a thing yet, and I'm unfamiliar with AMD Graphics cards and I've been out fo the scene awhile. I want a new PC because my old one is, well, over 6 years old. I pieced it together probably around 2008/2009 and the only thing I've updated was the graphics card.  Im trying to look at the options for a Ryzen Build vs an Intel One. from what I can tell the Ryzen one is a good bit cheaper. As for what I want to do with the computer I mainly play Overwatch and WoW, but I'm looking into streaming as well as possibly some heavier load games. As far as case preference goes I want one with a window and looks fairly simple, I really like the NZXT case, but I'm also thinking about springing for the 100$ be quiet! Pure Base 600 case.

My Current PC

Intel Core i7 950 @ 3.07Ghz

Asus Sabertooth x58 MOBO

Corsair TX 750 PSU

8GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 2400 RAM

PALIT Sonic GTX 460 video Card

Hyper212 EVO cooler

So How does that look? I'm wondering if the R5 1500X is worth it over the R5 1400 or if the R5 1600 or 1600X would be worth the cash. I also may have chosen some shifty parts so let me know if you guys see something that looks off. I'm also wondering if there's anywhere I could shave a bit more money off the build. I'm not planning on buying this until August so I understand prices are probably gonna change between now and then. Any guidance you guys could give would be great. Sorry if it sounds like rambling, I'm just trying to get the best value and future upgradability out of my buck.

coolers come with thermal paste so it's not necessary to buy extra, plus your current hyper 212 should have a tube that came with it that you can use. why aren't you just keeping your power supply? and i'm not sure this ram will work as intended being a 15-17-17-35 kit i'm really not sure about that though i haven't tested this, Ryzen prefers tighter timings and if it was CL16 it wouldn't work past base clock for sure.

 

It's not really possible to stream with a lower budget system unless you use hardware encoding which doesn't look as nice, look at the "shit manufacturers say" video that LTT made on ryzen for streaming. an i7 doesn't really cut it (for 1080p streaming at least)

 

I personally think the 1500X is totally worth the money, over the 1400, because of the big extra L3 cache. it affects hit rate more than most ppl realize and that makes a difference in performance.

lol dude you stuck an RX580 in there where's he going to find that we don't know if the craze will die down by then.
