Posted June 16, 2018 Hi! After a long while I've decided its time to upgrade from my Old i3-2100 and GTX 750Ti to something better. The options in the market which I can afford is the Ryzen 5 1600 and the Intel i5 8500 and a GTX 1060 3GB with a B350 or B360 Motherboard respectively. I'm from Bangladesh and here the prices are quite steep and my build Budget is around 77,000 BDT which is US $911 at current exchange rate Prices for the CPU Ryzen 5 1600 - 15,000 BDT which is equivalent to US $177.42 Or, Intel i5 8500 - 17,200 BDT which is equivalent to US $203.44 Also, the GTX 1060 3GB is priced at 24,000 BDT which is equivalent to US $284 I'll be using the PC for Gaming, Editing in Premiere and Photoshop, a bit of Music Production and lastly watching LInus's Beautiful Face I want the PC to be a bit future proof as in an upgrade path so than i can Upgrade later on if i need to. Games I'll be playing - Watch dogs 2, GTA V, Far Cry 5, PUBG, Fortnite, Battlefield series, Forza, Dirt 4, Minesweeper (JK) etc. It will be a huge relief for me if you guys help me so that I can purchase the system soon. Thanks In Advance.

Posted June 16, 2018 117 is a great price for the R5 1600. I use one and I had to pay 220. The i5 pulls ahead in single and quad core processing, by a small amount, and the R5 pulls ahead in multi-core processing, though again by a small amount. I say take the R5 because it will cost less. My R5 has given me no problems and I have it running at 3.65 ghz stable with the stock cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 16, 2018 With the competition between AMD and Intel starting up again, both should be releasing new processors regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, also i made a typo actually the price for the 1600 is USD 177. Also as I'm only going to be using an SSD for boot drive and rest with HDD what do you think about Optane which has also got me thinking.

Posted June 16, 2018 177 is still a good price in my opinion. Linus actually did a vidoe and its effectiveness, linked here personally I think it's a great deal to be able to load the apps and games quickly and still be able to store all the crap that finds a way to pile up that you never access.

Ryzen has a much better upgrade path Also keep in mind that the 1600 comes with a much better stock cooler Let's agree to disagree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 16, 2018 Author Do you guys think that Optane Memory is a good deal to make an Intel Build? After seeing the results of the performance enhancement using optane my mind is bamboozled and I'm again confused about the two options. But, seems like Ryzen will allow me to Upgrade till 2020 with the same Chipset with Bios Updates. Both Options are pretty tempting. Can Ya'll tell me something which can finalise my decision!. Sorry for troubling as I've been waiting a while to build a new system and I don't want to regret if you know what I mean.
