Intel i5 budget build

[KevinH9]

Hello I looking for a budget build I only need an i5 processor and a gtx 1060 my budget is $600

[Damascus]

Get an r5 1400 instead, double the threads

[HKZeroFive]

You shouldn't get an i5 when the R5 processors exist.

[intender]

Or wait and see how much the i3 8350k is going to cost.  quad core k sku i3 with better specs than current i5's.

Deepcool cases aren't very good, I recommend you upgrade to the Corsair SPEC-03 or the APEVIA X-MIRAGE

I was considering jumping to DDR4-2666 but wasn't sure how else to keep the price under $700.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind for future part lists.

I kinda just threw that case in as a placeholder. I wasn't entirely sure what case to go with for such a tight budget.

Even if you get a r3 1200 instead, you'll still be over budget by around $30. Unless you'd rather get a 1050ti.

It's $3.72 over budget, you can recover that by going with slower RAM or cheaper PSU but I'd suggest just skip eating out for a week and get this instead.

userbenchmark isn't accurate, check actual reviews and gaming/productivity benchmarks instead.

with a 1060 the i5 and ryzen 3/1400 don't perform very diferently, and you can upgrade to a 1600 in the future with ryzen while you're stuck with kabylake on lga 1151.

Intel processor are better there faster and are just good with my choice of gtx GeForce and if I needed to switch to a new processor and if intel didn't change socket just like the did with 8th gen coffee lake processor same socket on that all I do is update bios and If support on board I trade in my i5 7th gen for newer

Get crushed? How? The lowest end Ryzen 5 vs a top of the line overclockable i5? Lol try an Ryzen chip that costs at least close to the price of the Intel part.

lol, no. Intel made coffee lake require a 300-series chipset motherboard to work, older 100/200 series chipset motherboards will not work with coffee lake.

so what if i'm using an Intel CPU in my personal build? i got that used for a low price when ryzen wasn't released yet. you seriously think we must use ryzen CPUs to recommend it?

1. 8th gen CPUs aren't compatible with Z170/Z270 because Intel had do rearrange the pins to support the additional cores and DDR4 2666
2. The i5 is not faster than the Ryzen 5 1600, which is the CPU that it it competing with: http://www.gamersnexus.net/hwreviews/2875-amd-r5-1600x-1500x-review-fading-i5-argument/page-4
3. If for whatever reason, you want to buy a CPU based on the brand, get an i7 7700 with a B250 board, it's much better than the 7600K

Also ur cheering for Ryzen when u have intel processor on your build 

So what? I don't understand your point

[YedZed]

OP, you're whole point regarding Ryzen is invalid. I personally have an Intel processor, yes. I built my system months before Ryzen came out. Ryzen is on par with Intel at lower prices, and better at same price. Coffee Lake will NOT be compatible with Sky or Kaby Lake, so you will be stuck with that selection. Finally, Userbenchmark, and most other online auto benchmarking sites, are complete trash, compared to real, video reviews with good reviewers and accurate methods.

Intel has confirmed Z170 and Z270 will not work with Covfefe Lake.

No, AMD has improved through BIOS updates so they perform better.

In averages, very slightly, but the 1% and 0.1% lows, which are just as important were much higher on the 1600. If you don't want to get an AMD CPU, just get an i7 7700 with a B250 board (performance is the same as the 6700K), just don't get a 7600K

 

Or, wait for Coffeelake
