New PC - White/RGB

[JustAnotherIntelFanBoy]

Budget: Around 800usd (a bit more is okay if needed).

Aim: Gaming (60fps)/Univsersity/Maybe some coding in the future (Microsoft Visual Studio f.e). (Currently studying engineering)

Monitors: 1. 22" LG IPS FULL HD (1920x1080).

Peripherals: Mouse and Mech. Keyboard.

 

Extras: NO OC / NO VR GAMING / NO 2k,4k,8k Gaming / NO RENDERING / NO EDITING/ NO STREAMING

 

I have the: Storage (1tb HDD and 240gb SSD) + GTX 970 + W10 64, already from my previous setup and if I upgrade I will keep them.

 

1st INTEL:

2d AMD:

(it has a better ram speed due to AMD benefit with it)

 

I'm not convinced with the AMD beacuse of the performance in games vs Intel.

I want some opinions, and if you want to suggest some changes, please give some reasons for it.

8th gen is near, I know, but I'm not intereseted in having the last beacuse it is almost the same as 7th.

 

I know that I can have some rgb troubles with Tridentz RGB memory on MSI mobos (they were realased for ASUS mobos at first), in that case I will put: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/ntYWGX/corsair-vengeance-rgb-16gb-2-x-8gb-ddr4-3000-memory-cmr16gx4m2c3000c15 (3200 in the case of AMD)

 

I don't worry about the extra usd between them, so only consider performance in games and how many years I can use this rig.

AMD has slightly worse single threaded performance, which does translate to slightly lower performance in games vs Intel. However, in my opinion the large increase in multi-threaded performance is worth it.

As I said, I'm not interested in multitasking; just gaming, a few programmes and some coding.

 

That's why I'm more into Intel than AMD.

Well it's your choice

you can pick whatever between them cause you wouldnt feel much difference at 1080p. & yeah intel will give you better frames & ryzen provides smoother experience but both are fine.
