Ryzen 7 1800x Deal. Is it worth it?

[UltimaHeart]

My local micro center is selling the Ryzen 7 1800x for 350 bucks which is 150 dollars off the original price

is that worth the money or am i better off getting the 1700x/1700

[themctipers]

1800x is better than 1700x or 1700, but if you're buying it for more expensive than 1700 then don't

 

i think 350 is what the 1700 is in the us, so buy it

[19_blackie_73]

depends on what the 1700 costs. If you get the 1700 for 100 bucks cheaper then no, if only <$50 more, then probably

[PCGuy_5960]

Do you have a cooler? If you do, it may be worth it as it's better binned than the 1700(X) and doesn't cost a lot more, if you don't, get the 1700

[Shiv78]

Better off with a 1700+ overclock.

Only get a board from ASRock, Asus, or Gigabyte, MSI's Ryzen boards are unstable.

[jwacher]

you can get the 1700 for $290 on amazon. WIth a little overclocking you can get the exact same performance. If you don't want to mess with overclocking then go for it.

1700 MSRP was like 329 IIRC but they are like 300 now. 1700X on sale on Amazon for 300. 7700k is over 300

got it!

Would the 1700, 1700x or 1800x bottleneck the 1060 6gb, 1070, or 1080?

YEa but you also get money off at microcenter when buying cpu and mobo. But thats with both. The 1700 is 290, 1800x is 350

no you will be fine. THe 7700k will perform slightly better at really high FPS but not much.

it's basically the same. The $30 off on the combo is the same as if you were just buying it off amazon (if you were getting the 1700x)
