I was thinking of building a PC for gaming mostly and i wanted to know which combo is better, A R5 1600 paired with a 1080 OC or a R5 2600X with a 1070Ti FE? Rest componets are same and the cpu cooler is hyper 212 Evo.

Are you located in the USA ? 

 

The 1070 ti is usually better value so it depends on the pricing. I would avoid a Founders edition though and go with a good aftermarket card.

 

As for the cpu again it depends on the price. The Cryorig H7 is a better alternative to the 212 evo.

I recommend the 2600X + 1070TI combo, though please try to go for a aftermarket 1070TI.

 

The Hyper 212 Evo is an ancient cooler that is thoroughly outclassed at its price point by so many others. Go for the Cryorig H7 or the Arctic Freezer 33 Esports edition.

I can't go beyond a founder's edition but can go for a 1080 OC card(it is galaxy 1080 EXOC) , I only have the options listed above but yes, I will change the cooler to cooler master's rgb one(air cooler). I will be playing sandbox games mostly, especially the ac odyssey!
