I am building a new pc, but i need help choosing the cpu. The amd combo costs 169 euros for the cpu and 73 for the mobo if i pick a b350, or 140 if i go the x470 route. The intel combo costs 165 for the cpu and 60 for an h310 mobo or 90 for a z370. The gpu will be a 1060 and the main use will be gaming, and some autocad and solidworks, but rarely.

I'd pick the R5 2600 every day of the week.

 

Also, there's no way a Z370 board is that cheap.

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.
