Probably better off with a 6 core 12 thread CPU, either the R5 1600/2600 or i7 8700 You don't need a GTX 1080 for 1080p gaming, a 1070 or even 1060/580 would be fine. Are GPU prices finally back to normal then? I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly... Spoiler What is your budget/country for your new PC? what monitor resolution/refresh rate? What games or other software do you need to run?

Are GPU prices finally back to normal then? GPUS are still pricey. Cant find any GTX 1080 for under $600 USD on newegg or amazon. But the I5-8400 is still a better CPU for gaming than Ryzen right now. It provides more potential head room in the future. | Ryzen R9 3900x Enermax LIQTECH II 360 | Asus ROG Crosshair VI Hero| Nivida FE RTX 2080 Ti | Corsair Vengeance 16gb @3200MHZ | Crucial 500 GB SSD | 1TB WD Blue SSD| Corsair HX 750w Platinum+ |Corsair Carbide Spec-Omega| Gigabyte Arous 27QD 1440p 144hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus AM4 is going to last a while it seems, and it's better to have the extra multi-threaded performance should you ever need it.

I was playing Overwatch, had 6 VMs opeen and was installing a game with no noticeable performance impact. Ryzen 1600 is the best all around CPU imo still. So I can agree there. Im getting my buddies 1800x and am gonna sell my 1600 to my brother. | Ryzen R9 3900x Enermax LIQTECH II 360 | Asus ROG Crosshair VI Hero| Nivida FE RTX 2080 Ti | Corsair Vengeance 16gb @3200MHZ | Crucial 500 GB SSD | 1TB WD Blue SSD| Corsair HX 750w Platinum+ |Corsair Carbide Spec-Omega| Gigabyte Arous 27QD 1440p 144hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
