1070ti 1600x

[misterman]

is the 1070ti good for 1080p gaming with the 1600x by amd or will the cpu hender gameing preformence

[Morgan MLGman]

It's a very good match, however please consider buying an R5 1600 instead because it's essentially the same CPU with lower base clocks, but it costs less money, can still be overclocked for basically the same performance and it comes with a good stock cooler allowing for OC right out of the box.

there shouldn't be any bottlenecking with either but I do suggest you go for the non-X version as it's not hard to OC the 1600 up to those speeds

Still, those CPUs are identical besides their base clocks so if you plan on overclocking, the R5 1600 should give you pretty much the same performance while saving you a few bucks that might be used into other things like getting faster RAM. Faster RAM improves performance of Ryzen CPUs so it might be a better investment.

Actually Morgan I think you're seeing this wrong way, OP has a beefy AiO and the 1070 Ti is a powerful GPU, would actually recommend stepping up to the R7 1700 since it costs close enough to the 1600x which he already is comfortable affording.

Well yeah, actually that makes sense too. It won't give OP better gaming FPS but it should last longer and it's super-cheap in some stores

Also, we have the same PSUs now!

Same AiO as well!

 

Yes the r7 1700 won't help in games, maybe in a tiny few like Ashes of Benchmark multi-threads perfectly and such but at least his minimums will be safe regardless his multi-tasking ^^

IMHO the 1600 is a better choice for gaming than the 1700, $100 difference that can be invested in a Ryzen+/Ryzen2 update (better clocks, IPC etc)

Or just more and faster RAM, since it's awfully expensive (I'd get a 1600 + 16GB 3200 MHz RAM rather than a 1700 + 8GB 2666 MHz RAM, for example)

i got it for the same price as the 1600 so i thought it was better for the same price but i am wrong?

Nothing wrong with it, should serve you well ^^

k thanks

btw how is the 8700k going for u i might upgrade when i get my next paycheck

[Agosto]

You just got that CPU, why upgrade now? That would even mean buying a new motherboard obviously.

For you next upgrade, wait for new Ryzen iterations, which will be compatible with your mobo (after a UEFI update)

IMHO going from a 1600X to a 8700K now is a waste of money
