for that budget you might be better off going for a Ryzen 1600 system. tough DDR4 prices are skyrocketing lately.

provide more information maybe please? i'm no expert here. like Cpu. graphic card. ETC. details.

DDR4 and GPU prices have been really high recently. I'd personally wait for the prices to calm down a bit

sorry

 

Ryzen is AMDs line in recent processors. they offer great price to performance. the Ryzen 1600 is a 6-core beast, that's even overclockable!

they need AM4 motherboards tough, and DDR4 RAM. especially DDR4 RAM can be pretty pricey lately, but the performance upgrade over a Haswell i5 is worth it!

yes, much more powerfull even!

[AdoptedAsian]

Also, Ryzen 2 is being released this and next month which is apparently going to be 15% faster. I'd personally wait until at least Ryzen 2 is out.

Not really..

Still a better choice, seeing its a newer platform though.

4 more threads tough. multithreaded games(which are more and more these days)will greatly benefit from that.

nope, im afraid there's no DDR3 Ryzen boards. you could always sell your memory tough, as it is pretty profitable these days

Wait for Ryzen 2 like @AdoptedAsian said.

You'd be wasting a lot of money on the GPU and possibly RAM and missing out on Ryzen 2 if it's any good. If you don't feel buyer's remorse then go ahead I guess.

1. ram already got from my old pc is why i don't wanna switch to ddr4

2. 970 doesn't cost that much?

3. when is ryzen 2 coming out?

[Keikavoos]

 

Consider getting a ryzen 5 1600X 

And do yourself a favor and don't go for graphics card and generaly building a pc right now, new ryzen series is on it's way and will be released soon. Also volta and navi (new nvidia and amd graphics) are coming and they are a LOT better than gtx 10.. and vega series, let alone the gtx 900 series

I agree, except get a 1600, X is pointless.

i don't have the money even to get the new ones that will come out that's why i'm getting these parts. even if it came out no money to buy it. as i said budget 870

the only thing i'd be wasting money on from your point of view is the gpu? but the this gpu is.a good price? unless you know another gpu that goes along well with i5 4690k cpu and is cheaper? than the 970 and better..?

Volta probably won't be for gaming. Ampere would be more worth it I think. Also, Navi is coming late 2018.

Cheaper/better?

 

Cheaper is a 960, better is a 980/980ti

no GTX 970 is a still a great card today for the money.

price/performance is likely what he meant.
