new pc Help for midrange PC Build

[Rafeeqalmas]

Hi Friends, How are you?

Need your help friends for my new Budget PC Build. I have selected some parts. Need your opinion. My budget is $600 ( Indian Rupee 40k )

 

Processor : Intel i5-8400 or AMD RYZEN 5 - 1500X

Motherboard : Intel - Asus PRIME-Z370-P or AMD - Asus PRIME B350-PLUS, (optional pick for amd mobo - Asus PRIME B350 F Gaming )

Ram : Crucial Ballistix 2400mhz 8gb single stick

PSU : Corsiar VS550 watt 

 

Note : All ready got 1TB Hdd and I dont budget to get new graphic card ( I have Radeon R7 200 series card ). Im going to use this new pc for gaming and for working in photoshop and little bit video editing. Im indent to use this new pc several year. Got no budget for frequent change. My current pc was bought on 2010 feature Core 2 duo. So you can guess my situation 

 

Please share your opinion on above mention specs. Tell which processor will be suitable for my workload 

 

Thanks

Both R5 and 8400 should work pretty well, although AMD mobos might be cheaper.

Also, highly recommend getting an SSD for the OS, even if it's a small one.

If you're going intel, don't get a Z series board for a locked CPU. it's a waste since you can't OC anyways with an non-K CPU.

 

get a PSU that's not a bomb - try the Corsair CX450

 

other than that, it seems mostly good.

You don't have a choice with LGA1151-v2 with not getting a Z370 board

Oh, yeah forgot about that little detail...

in that case grabbing a Ryzen 1600 would probably be cheaper. go for that. (since the 8400 will beat the 1500X hands down)

get ryzen, next time you feel like putting money into your pc you can just upgrade the cpu and get more performance (E: because amd is making am4 cpus until 2020). From what I hear z370 is only going to support one generation of cpus

if the option is between the i5 8400 and the 1500x i would get the 8400. I would get the 1600 if I was going amd though.

@Cyracus Thanks for info. I decided to go with Ryzen 1600 and my motherboard option is Gigabyte GA-AB350-GAMING 3 AMD. Is this mobo fine. There are some less price mobo but this one has more SATA port and USB port. So I selected this. What is ur option? 

[Cyracus]

this is probably worth a look over
