[timtexx]

Hello , im planing on upgrading my 6100 i3 , shoudl i go amd for gaming or upgrade my cpu to a 6700k? Its 300€ in my country , while the 7700k is 350€ , or get a new mobo and a ryzen 1600 for 330 €? I have 8gb of ram atm runnign at 2133 mhz

Only gaming?

 

If only gaming I say wait for Intel coffee Lake to drop and then see if you can find a good deal on a used 6700k or 7700k

Gaming and streaming , but nothing else  at the moment

Do you stream a lot or just kind of casually? And what GPU do you have?

i have a 480 rx from AMD , i stoped streamign when i sold my ps4 , now i want to get back into it  but i heard that u need atleas 3000 mhz ram for ryzen so i would need to buy new ram aswell , and the prices for that are way to high , i rather get a 6700k and a new freesync monitor for that money

You don't NEED 3000 MHz, it's a sort of thing that's preferable but not necessary.

 

If you're streaming I think Ryzen would be preferable seeing as you don't have an Nvidia gpu. However, you are using an rx 480 and I'm not sure if that would tax the CPU enough to heavily affect streaming. Either way, I think going for a 6700k or 7700k would be enough for streaming, you may just have to turn down stream quality or something.

 

Assuming streaming isn't something you're REALLY focused on, I think a 6700k or 7700k would be a better choice.

Im not 100% focused on it , maybe in the future yea , and i also dont mind if i stream at 30 fps

Ryzen since u could sell away the i3 + the motherboard and get a new GPU or other stuff

I just bought my gpu half year ago , since i plan on playing 60 fps on 1080p only and 480rx does a good job at it

The reasonable thing would be the i7 since that's only the CPU and everything else stays so no money lost.

No windows reinstalling (most likely and such.)

 

A ryzen system is at least cpu+200€ (german market).

This counts a B350 Motherboard with 16Gb of 3200Mhz RAM kit. ( I checked for an Ryzen 7 thus 3200Mhz, no need with Ryzen 5)

So "only" 400€ in total on german market with is a good deal. (especially compared to i7 being 350€ alone)

 

However, since you want to stream (twitch  or alike) I'd suggest the Ryzen as more cores provide a better allround experience.

Here's an interessting readup.

TL;DR Version is, Ryzen works fine out of box while intel needed extensive tweaking to run as smooth.

Both did equally fine in the end, however.

 

Another note: Not sure on how well you could sell the i3 (in any case) since the pentium G4560 pretty much made any i3 obsolete.

So maybe a "bundle" might be a better selling point ( CPU + MB + RAM )

Yea i think ill just stick the the 6700k since thats gonna be the cheapest option and get a new monitor aswell

I'm running the i7-6700 non k and I'm happy with it so I can savely say, it will serve you well.
