Sacrifice an SSD?

[ChackoM]

Quick question --> I have a R5 1600 in my build, but I've heard the R7 1700 is miles better. Planning to play major AAA titles, with a lot of multitasking. However, due to my budget, I would have to sacrifice my SSD. Is that worth it? I could get one later on, saving up money . Also --> 2TB is for dual booting, and I can switch between the Vega 56 and 1070, but the monitor is freesync

No, get the Ryzen 5 1600 and the SSD.

Also, what is your GPU?

Ryzen 5 1600 is more than enough

Right now it's a Vega 56, but if the benchmarks tell me otherwise, I'll go for a 1070

Thanks for the input! Also, although it is only a $30 increase, should I go for the X version?

No, there is little benefit getting a 1600x over a 1600

The LED strip is only $14 so it's not a huge deal
