Posted June 21, 2018 I'm in the market for a PC. I've got a dilemma choosing between a Ryzen 1600/Motherboard combo for $80 cheaper then a I5 8400 combo. I've got a set of DDR4 2400 16gb memory I would love to use in the new build. My plans for the PC will be Gaming/Surfing the web/Some lightt 4k video editing in the future. Also would like to upgrade my GPU (Currently RX480 4gb) to play 4k 60 in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 21, 2018 I would get the i5 8400. Perfoms better in games and the ram speed isn't as important on Intel than Ryzen. hi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted June 21, 2018 Intel will offer better performance in gaming and work better with the 2400 ram speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 21, 2018 I'd save the money and get the Ryzen. @AskTJ is absoulutely right, but it's not worth the price premium to me. It might be to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
