Which combo is better

[Repchich]

So, I came to one of the final steps of buying pc components, and that's CHOOSING the actual components. I have two choices that, let's say fit my budget.

Setup 1

MB Gigabyte AB350 $123
Ryzen 5 2600 w/Wraith stealth cooler $196
8 GB DDR4 2666Mhz RAM $96
GTX 1060 6 GB

Total: $415

 

Setup 2

 

MB Gigabyte Z370P-D3 $118
i5 8400 $197
8 GB DDR4 2666 MHz $96
GTX 1060 6 GB 

 

Total: $411

Note: Already have the GTX 1060, just asking which setup (performance as well) would suit me better. Also, the prices are the ones in my region, ordering anything online would only be $50 more expensive! Mainly playing games like For Honor, Battlefield 1, The Division, stuff like that...There is also B360-pro asus for the same price. Is it worth it?

My personal preference would go out to AMD, simply due to having guaranteed support till 2020 and a better stock cooler. If you were to go with the i5 though and you don't plan on getting a k cpu later you can save a bit by going with a b360 board.

get a b450 strix instead of b350

Why is tye B350 board so expencive?

 

You can get this board for way less. And its most likely a better choice

but did you see the note? I can't purchase anything online. It would just be $100 more expensive due to shipping!

You don't get it do you? That's like $150 more expensive, and i dont have that kind of money. Plus can you tell me what's the Difference between b350 and b450?
I'm looking for budget ones... and on the market that i go by, everything's overpriced!

Motherboards aren't quite my thing. What's the difference that makes it so MUCH better to get a 360?

Also we have a B-360-PLUS and B360-PRO from ASUS that's a lower price than both of them... is it worth it? it's for Intel!

Only two board i can recommend to your 2600 is the B450 tomahawk from MSI and B450 or B350 PRO4 boards from Asrock. (Note the B350 board might not have the correct BIOS).

Mainly pricing, if go for a z series chipset on the intel side al you're really paying extra for is overclocking support, which is wasted if you don't have a k series cpu
