Help understanding

[skeeler88]

Im building my first pc within the next month or two, but I still havent decided what processor to get. I am going with AMD because its cheaper and provides more cores so if I do stream and play at the same time, that will help. BUT what the difference between the rysen 7 2700, the ryzen 2700x, the ryzen 7 1800x and the ryzen 7 1700x? Why should I choose one of the other for what I want to do?

The difference at stock is in the clock speed

 

1700X 3.40 GHz (boost 3.80 GHz)

1800X 3.50 GHz (boost 4.00 GHz)

2700 3.20 GHz (boost 4.10 GHz)

2700X 3.70 GHz (boost 4.30 GHz)

 

The 2700 and 2700X are second generation (recently released) and the box also includes a decent CPU cooler.

2700, buy decent ram, apply proper timings with the timing calculator and have a blast.
