What about the 980 vs 980ti? I might as well stick to them if i get a good deal

Sure, go for any of them. Greta upgrade! Make sure you get Ryzen 1600 because 1400 might not max out some of these GPUs

Get the 1600.

The stock cooler is good enough and 1400 only has half the cache of the other cpus in the lineup.

 

edit for clarity and to add the following:

 

The extra cores on the 1600 will definitely help in gaming. Even if the game itself can't used them, the ability to have the os and game on separate cores will boost fps.

Side note, If you're planning on overclocking I've heard elsewhere not to get gigabyte motherboards as they don't overclock well. Take with a grain of salt as not from personal experience.

1600 and upgrade cooler later. Stock cooler seems pretty beefy though (I've only taken it out of the box once so I can put it back in. AIO FTW)

Planning on getting a new pc and was thinking, do I go for r5 1400 and a top notch cooler or a r5 1600 and upgrade the cooler later? I am only doing gaming so I dont know if I need the 1600

Get the 1600. The cooler is fine and if you want you can upgrade later. Having 6C/12T is gonna last you longer and some games are actually starting to use more than 4 cores so don't bother with the 1400 unless you're really strapped for cash.

Or you can get the R5 1600 and use its amazing stock cooler that comes with nearly every ryzen and allows for good overclocks? huh? Haha, sorry I get triggered when people underestimate Intel/Wraith coolers.

Thanks, man does yours run quiet? I dont plan to get a super oc, but I want a quiet system

No, they are quite capable of giving a significant overclock.

Lets just agree there were good reasons why intel stopped including their paperweights with k sku processors
