He doesnt know how and doesnt want to decrease the life span

Overclocking within reasonable voltages and temperatures doesn't really harm the life span. For Ryzen, under 1,4 V is absolutely fine on a decent motherboard for daily usage. For Intel, it's a bit lower. Overclocking is fairly easy, just change the Vcore and multiplier. You'll technically have to overclock RAM, as that is what the XMP profiles do.

As I said, overclocking is just changing 2 settings, and running a program to check for stability. Not hard.

Which would you go with?

Depending on the desired detail levels, you could go with either. The Intel might give slightly higher framerates but the Ryzen allows for overclocking in the future. They both have a solid upgrade path as well.

what do you think of seon's build?

For 1080p 60, very overkill.

Even a 1060 6GB could be considered overkill, depending on the desired detail level.

I agree with that. A 1060 6GB or RX 580 would be more sensible. But a 1070 sort of fits in the budget. 

Also prioritised slightly differently on the case, PSU and storage

It's really not that difficult.

 

1. Start with a reasonable voltage/frequency (on Ryzen for example you could try 3.5 ghz with 1.27v)

2. Run a stress test like Asus realbench for 5 minutes

3. If temps are under 80C, noise levels are fine, stress test passed, and voltage isn't too high (above 1.4v), then raise the frequency by 100 MHz and go back to step 2

4. If the stress test didn't pass, raise voltage by .01v and go back to step 2

5. If it passed, but noise, temps, or voltage was too high then go back to the last setting you thought was fine

6. When you think you've got a stable OC, run a stress test for 1-2 hrs to ensure stability.

 

That really is it. It's that simple. Hell, if your friend doesn't even want to bother that much they could just put in 3.6 ghz and 1.3v and it would probably be fine.

Way too overkill and a waste. An 8400 pretty much performs as well on a newer platform and for cheaper.

C'mon guys we're almost in 2018 and you're recommending SATA SSDs for new builds. By spending an extra $30-40 on an NVMe SSD like THIS one OP's friend can have around 300-400% speed for a 50% price increase. SATA SSDs offer horrible value vs the more affordable NVMe offerings.

Main rig:

• Ryzen 3600X • X370 Killer SLI • 16GB Corsair LPX 3200Mhz • Strix 1070ti • Define R5 • SuperNova 750 G2 • Evo 1TB + X300 4TB •

Secondary rig:

• Acer prebuilt • Rzyen 1700X (upgraded) • OEM 1060 3GB • 256GB SSD + 1TB Seagate (upgraded) •

This is a great build for the price. Since it sounds like your mainly gaming, you'll get the most FPS out of the intel system as opposed to the ryzen And @Lurick build is pretty solid. 16GB of RAM gives you breathing room for future games requiring more and more (some already need more than 8GB) and the GPU will also ensure to keep your minimum of 60 FPS target intact for the foreseeable future. Having an SSD as your OS drive is great, and for any games you put on it, can speed up loading times by a good margin.

Heres a video of benchmarks showing how each CPU can perform:

Skim through it and take a look at how each performs to get a good example of how far you can push it and what it will produce. Hope this helps a bit ^_^

If no overclocking and looks aren't important, the stock intel cooler is plenty.

If you want to toss something on there though then a beQuiet slim is good :)
