Posted September 5, 2018 I should also mention that an 8400 + GTX 1060 is fully capable of 1080p 60fps, but the second PC can do it much better and then some. mechanical keyboard switches aficionado & hi-fi audio enthusiast switch reviews • how i lube mx-style keyboard switches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's the first then it's not a bad deal "Make it future proof for some years at least, don't buy "only slightly better" stuff that gets outdated 1 year, that's throwing money away" @pipoawas -Frequencies DON'T represent everything and in many cases that is true (referring to Individual CPU Clocks).

Posted September 5, 2018 both pc will produce 60fps, but the second one is even better. for $560 is cheap.

Well, yes, I meant in full, NMVe M.2 SSD > SATA SSD. It's true in this instance, the 970 Evo can do "Read speeds up to 3,500MB/s", I don't think I need to read the first build's SSD to know it's inferior. mechanical keyboard switches aficionado & hi-fi audio enthusiast switch reviews • how i lube mx-style keyboard switches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're mixing up your terms, comparing things that aren't related. M.2 is a form factor, and NVMe is a protocol. PCIe and SATA are interfaces. In this case you are correct about the 970 Evo being better, but for a boot drive sequential speeds don't matter. It's the random read speeds that matter. That's why a quality SATA drive can be faster than a cheap PCIe one (such as the 600p series). Make sure to quote or tag me (@JoostinOnline) or I won't see your response!

Posted September 5, 2018 Quick break down, at 1080p gaming, your CPU is more likely to bottleneck than your GPU (as long as its current or last gen) in most cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think the CPU would bottleneck often with either build in modern games? Edited September 5, 2018 by TLOUFoREVer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
