Get a regular 1600 or a 1700 if you can spend a bit more, along with faster RAM (2666MHz or faster).

Save money by going with a normal Ryzen 5 1600, as well as using the stock cooler which is a great performer, and use the saved money to get faster ram, around 3000MHz.

 

You can also change from the WB Blue to a Seagate 2TB drive for around $10 more. Worth it IMO.

I'm not certain if the CPU wont bottleneck the GPU, I mean a 1070Ti is a big gun while imo the 1600x is just an average size hand gun

Bullshit. It can compete with an 8600K, especially when overclocked.

If you can afford it, an i5 8400 will be a solid performer. You will need a decent air cooler though.

[ZeouLs]

Considering 8600k has only 6 Threads against the 12 Thread 1600x I would stay with AMD

Would this be a better Setup?

Change to an 8400, buy 2400MHz ram and buy a better air cooler. Look at Be Quiet, Cryorig or Coolermaster. The 212 evo wont be able to handle the 8600K.

 

EDITED:

 

Also, change the board to a B360 to save cash.

If you want to play 1080p 60hz buy a 1060
If you plan to buy a 1440p monitor + 144hz buy that card (or 1080p 144hz)

Dont buy a 1070ti for 1080p. too mucho amigo

212 evo can handle 8600k perfectly

The difference between an 8400 and an 8600K at turbo speeds is 300MHz.

that's why it's necessary to overclock the 8600k, otherwise the money is somewhat wasted

the motherboard is also questionable. de8auer (LN2 overclocker) used this mobo to hit 5.1GHz on an 8700k with low VRM temps, but I doubt the results. It's just impossible for something this weak on paper to be that good.

 

What I do know is that there is no debug features.
