Help needed with new build!!!!

[yoshiii]

Hello

 

I had to sell my 4790k system a few months ago. Now I need to buy a computer again and I would rather build.

 

What system would be best?  Ryen? i7 6700K ? 8350 ?   

I need to build a system for as low price as I can. Main purpose is content creation, graphic design, 3D design, etc. Will play games. 

The more cores the better.  I want at least 6 cores (or 8 threads) 

 

Which platform will be the best for the money?  I need to build lowww price. I plan on at least 16gigs of ram. 

 

Is Intel still worth trying? X99?  

 

Or AMD?  Ryen? 8350?

What is the price range that you are looking at? Around $1000? The term "low" has a different definition for everyone when building a PC.

Best for the money?  

Some of the intel stuff seems to be marked down in prices thats why I was wondering.

 

The 1700 is 8 correct?

1000 dollars or less. Below 800 is even better

yes, 1700 is a 8c/16t CPU,

not really worth it, ryzen 1600 or 1700 would be better

Correct. The 1700 is the best bang-for-buck 8 core CPU you'll find right now.

The Intel side of the spectrum (i7 6700K/7700K) seems to be focused on gaming performance and does well, if not better than Ryzen in that catagory. If you are looking for a beastly workstation with a performance boost, Ryzen is the way to go. Keep in mind that Ryzen 7 CPUs come with actually decent stock coolers, saving you some extra cash since Intel's stock coolers are rarely suitable for gaming or heavy graphics processing workloads.

1700X = Better performance and overclocking ability.

1700 = Better performance per dollar.

 

Wouldn't touch FX with a 10 foot pole.

FX is dead now, not worth considering

if you want a higher binned chip get a 1700x, you can OC further.

How big of a difference in overclocking between the 1700 and 1700X?

Would depend on your luck in the silicon lottery, but like @nerdslayer1 said, the 1700X will be higher quality silicon.
