Vega 64 or GTX 1080 for build
5 minutes ago, i_build_nanosuits said:yes because ultrawide can quite often be disapointing when it comes to games...and also it's only 1080p resolution the one you've picked and it's quite big so it will look atrocious if you sit anywhere close to it for gaming....games support ultrawide resolution for the most part these days but many are just ''stretching'' to fill the screen so the images looks just wierd. a good 16:9 is better.
You can still go with the Ryzen CPU if you like it better, it's similar in performance overall...8400 game a bit better but i doubt you'd see any difference...but for ryzen i would save some money and get a B350 board instead.
Just now, SoloDolo said:I can agree. I game on a 3440x1440 Acer Predator and to me its incredible. It looks and plays incredible. I think going with the Ryzen 1600 will be fine for him. Hes an AMD Fanboy and think this will make him feel better. Though I personally view brand loyalty is stupid as hell.
Then maybe this build would be the "best of both worlds"?
