. ddr5 ? havent heared about that yet and dont blieve its gonna happen anytime soon.

DDR5 is coming after the AM4 plattform is moving to AM5. So 2021 for the consumers. 

 

 

@sluz just get a CPU that fits your budget. Depending on Vega pricing you might be able to go for a Vega Freesync combo or Rx 580 with freesync. 

 

If the 8400 is a bit out of budget a r5 2600 with B450 or 1600 with B350 will be cheaper.

 

Remember to grab a good mobo. B350/360 PRO4 from ASrock or B450 PRO4 or Tomahawk. The tomahawk is from MSI, its only good om B360 and B450.

well, i mean i got the cash for a better build, but i think i wont go over 1.5k E. i mean i wont be too strict about it, if there is a much better option for a particular part for a few dollars more ill go for it.

also the monitor (and a mechanical keyboard) are not on the budget, ill just get those however they end up costing, cause im really looking for 27" and a new keyboard (yes im still on rubber keyboard from my pc like 20 years ago).

 

i've read that generally the cpu and gpu should be like 50% of the price cost of the build. should i follow that rule approx?

also can anyone explain me this benchmark from this article on anands? is 8400 really overperforming more expensive cpus? should i look for the K version if it even exists, to OC it? especially if i get intel id probably end up OCing it since later when it gets a bit old new intels will be on a new socket and i wouldnt be able to replace it. 

 

btw, prices are a bit weird here, and ill try to check out how much would each combo cpu + mobo + cooler(if needed) and ill post it here.

call me crazy but generally for a gaming build i do 50% budget on gpu alone approx.

So here's the preliminary mobo/cpu combo, without too much research done in mobos. It seems that cpus here are reasonably priced (still higher than you could get online as far as I see on pcpartpicker), but, and a huge BUTT, gpus are retardedly expensive here.

For example just for comparison EVGA GTX1080Ti SC Black Edition Gaming, 11GB GDDR5X, 352-bit, 1670/1375MHz, 11G-P4-6393-KR costs around 650 usd (lowest price I found) and here it costs over 1k usd (1036 usd).

Also mobos for amd seem cheaper than intel counterparts and for example I can get aorus gaming 5 for amd for approx the same price of aorus 3 for intel.

I think with my budget I could even stretch it for a 1080ti possibly if ordering from abroad. If I spent like 1000$ / 850E for a cpu mobo and a gpu, I think the other 500$ would be enough to cover an ssd, a psu and casing.

Mind you I havent decided yet on the gpu, mobo or the cpu, but I will try to gather as much info and put some more configurations and prices for them.

a quick update:

i did some gpu researching a bit and 1080ti is out of my price range. i think ill have to settle with a regular 1080 or 1070ti. on that note which of the 2 do you think would be better?

 

also i can get this one on sale in the next few days

what do you think about msi gpus in general, and particulary about this card?
