[Resolved] Ryzen 5, or 7?

[TurnerTech]

Hello, I am building a new gaming/streaming/mild workstation PC, and I would like some educated people's opinions. I have been asking about parts and utilization for a while now and am almost ready to order the parts and start the build.

 

The current parts list is this; https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Fkd7hy

I currently have a Ryzen 5 1600x 6 core processor, and I'm wondering if I should go up to a Ryzen 7 or not, (for the extra cores).

I am planning on using this PC for streaming every once in a while, mild video editing, and normal everyday uses, I am thinking about the Ryzen 7 since it can come with more cores which would make the streaming easier on the CPU not eating up all of the cores.

 

Any suggestions appreciated!

Thank you for your time, I hope you all have a fantastic day!

 

Thank you for everyone's help now I have this resolved!

What I would do, go for the 1700 and keep the stock cooler that comes with it. That would almost negate the price increase (stock cooler is very good).

 

Or you can wait a month, as 2000 series is about to launch very soon.

Weird to have mATX mobo but SFX power supply.

 

Ryzen 2000 series will come mid-April, so wait for that first.

the new 2000 series is coming out pretty soon. id wait for that

if you are going to lightstream and game, Ryzen 5 would be enough for you. Also you can save that bucks to other things or just save it

if you want breathtakingly new performance and better than this generation's ryzen you will want to wait until mid-april and consider Zen+ (2nd Gen Ryzen)

How many cores will the 2000 series have, and what is the estimated cost?

 

the power supply is going to be changes soon anyway, and about how many cores will the 2000 series have?

1600x doesn't, but 1600 non x does, and so does the 1700 non x.
