Depends entirely on the application. Playing games at 240 Hz? Yes. Playing games at 60Hz or even most games at 144Hz? Nope.

 

As long as you overclock your CPU and get fast Samsung B-die memory you won't be hurting for an Intel chip.

I have hard drives still... also I play at 144htz 

ssds just cost too much and I store my games on an external hard drive anyways

You definitely should be using an SSD if you can afford a GTX 1080....

 

Seriously, get something like a 120GB for your OS and programs and put your games on the HDD. The speed difference is night and day. You never have to defrag your C drive and deal with how slow it is while you use your PC.

 

I haven't had a hard drive in my desktop or laptops for a very long time and I do not miss them.

I still remember the first time I experienced an SSD.  I'll never forget that day.  It's such a beautiful thing.

I don't have to delete old games for space either :P. I have 2 TB of total SSD space though.

Also I’m waiting for the 1080 to drop in value and a ssd is like $80 for a small one and I couldn’t care for it

Also 8tb can store a lot more than 2tb so I’ll have it for a long time

The 1080 won't drop in value. By the time mining has died down, Volta will likely have been released. Until there are huge expenses for mining, people will be eating up GTX 1060s and above.

 

Here's a perfectly good 120GB SSD for under $50 USD https://pcpartpicker.com/product/zc8Zxr/a-data-internal-hard-drive-asp600s3128gmc

True but any decent SSD will easily run circles around that 8TB hard drive.

Get them and play merrily.

Also a ssd can hardly store any games and as well an external hdd you can use on any pc so I dont have to download the games over and over

My 900gb ssd + 2tb hdd will easily last me until 2020 when samsung starts selling ssds that cost the same as hdds per gb

External ssds are more durable and lightweight

depends on the game u play, there are many games a ryzen wont run at 144hz, wait for zen+ or go with a 8700

[Frankieanime158]

No, it won't. The 1600 can carry a 1080ti even. The statement of 'it bottlenecks if you want frames passed 100' is technically untrue. Yes, the CPU is incapable of the insanely high frame rates of an intel CPU, but that doesn't mean it's bottlenecking the GPU. The gpu will still run at 100%, doing every bit it can. A bottleneck would be seeing a GPU run at 40-50% when really it should be hitting 100%. That means the CPU is incapable of letting the GPU fully stretch it's legs.

Your fps will be buttersmooth, the cpu will definitely not bottleneck a 1080.

I see alot of brand snobs spuiting disinformation to support their narrative like the idea that a 1080ti will be bottlenecked when combined with ryzen 1600 just simply isn't true. Yeah the 8700k is a better choice for gaming i'm not saying that at all.  Maybe @4k that would produce a bottleneck 

[Emberstone]

Coming from someone who owned an R5-1600X overclocked to 4.0 GHz, you’ll see some bottlenecking at 1080p (I even saw some with my 1070; wouldn’t reach max usage in some games). At 1440p or higher you’ll be totally fine though.

Interesting how you came to this conclusion, as I have a definite improvement in all my games moving from my 4790k. Initially it was worse but as the updates arrived and the ram could run higher, I have seen an improvement, not massive, but 5- 10%

Even with my 1070, there were instances where GPU usage would dip from 100%. Overwatch on Ultra could see dips as low as 70% GPU usage during big fights (but was pegged at 100% most of the time), Destiny 2 sat around 50-80% GPU usage during public events and in things like the Leviathan raid, PUBG was all over the place even on maximum graphics.

 

Since my monitor is 1080p144 and I prefer high framerates over resolution, the experiences I outlined above (among a few others) are why I ultimately scrapped the setup and went for broke with an 8700K.

 

As for the setup itself when I was still using Ryzen, I was on the latest BIOS and the memory was running at 2933 MHz. After AGESA 1.0.0.6 released, I could get 3066 MHz stable, but the latest BIOS on the Asus Prime B350-Plus dragged that down to 2933. Memtest showed it stable and my Cinebench score was 1350, so there wasn't anything whack with the system. Some games just couldn't take advantage of Ryzen enough to see the 1070 at 100% all the time, I guess.

 

On the flip side, games like Doom (that are incredibly well-optimized for high-core-count CPUs), ran beautifully. I recorded this video at lossless 1080p with Doom maxed, and it was between 150-200 fps the entire time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMABcoNlP1Q

 

So it wasn't all bad. Just many of the games I like playing had inconsistent performance from not taking full advantage of my GPU.

[i_build_nanosuits]

if you care about rendering more than 60 frames per second, then yeah you're leaving a fair bit on the table even compared to a 7700K in games..

 

the 8700 and 8700K CPU's are even better to the point where it's worth to spend more money on them if you have a high refresh rate 1440p monitor with Gsync and stuff..
