Build gaming-productivity

[phoebus1997]

Hello there! For a gaming-productivity build (AAA games, Unity-Android Studio-Photoshop-occasional Premiere Pro use) what's the best CPU to use? What's a good build for 700-750€? Buying from Italy. I'd think, if possible, for a 1080p graphics

I think an AMD R5 1600 or 2600 will do the job for your needs.

Is AMD better than Intel? 'Cause I got to a computer shop to ask for some ideas, and he said to "leave the AMD idea because they are terrible with temperatures, and if I overclock an AMD I'm risking to burn also the MoBo"... Dunno if he was serious or not, I hope he wasn't haha

That is such a bullshit. The only reason he said that is because Intel is more expensive and he would make more money by selling it to you. I'm running a 2700X with STOCK cooler overclocked to 4GHz and my temps are between 35-50 depending on my work. Wow I want to falcon punch that guy so hard

LOL.

I'll explain: I've never had a tower pc, nor I've assembled a pc before. I only had a laptop, but for uni I need some more power, so I thought to buy components and to build a good bang for the buck pc, possibly not over 700-750€. I saw some Ryzen and i5 comparison videos and I saw that Ryzen loses a lil' bit of FPS in games, but at the same time it's still playable and in productivity meanings, works better than Intel in some cases. 

Do you think that, if I get the 1600 or 2600, I should need a non-stock cooler? I would think about OC, but I've never done it haha

No both the 1600 and the 2600 have good stock cooler. I think the the 1600 has a better one iirc.

Ok, cool... I'll see how I can do a build and then I'll post here to get help or, probably, to be flamed for my inaccuracy hahaha

This is just about what you can get

The case doesnt really matter, up to your preference, I dont know anything about cases but the be quiet pure power psu is like the cheapest I know that doesnt suck. A 1050Ti should give you good enough FPS for 1080p. The SSD is for your OS and heavy games like Squad or Arma 3 that take like ages to load.

Sounds pretty good to me! I'll probably use a 250GB SSD to save a bit and a case from CoolerMaster that I know it's 25€ in a friend's shop, but for the other things seems quite good! Thanks, mate
