What CPU?

Posted

Location: UK but ill take advice from anyone of course

Monitors: 1 but planning to (In the far future) to upgrade to 2

GPU: RX 580 (Can be swayed, but i'm going for AMD for Freesync)

 

For reference I play stuff like BO4/Fallout 76 at least for upcoming games

 

Right after research I (Originally) made the decision to buy the R5 2600X which would cost me around £195. However I was told the I5 8600K would be better for me which would cost me around £240, is it worth the extra price though or is this all overkill and should I get cheaper CPU in general?

https://gyazo.com/cdbccdab8cc3699ba031995ee2fd4c1c This is the "Full build", I already have a 250GB SSD. I can be swayed with most of the build tbh but thats my original draft

Just get the 2600X. It's a little bit faster than the 1700X, and the 2700X is about £100 more, so it's not worth it.

Around £1000 but that includes peripherals and oh yeah forgot.. Phanteks Enthoo Pro was my original choice and again willing to be swayed if there's a reason I shouldn't get that

If you want to lower cost further, drop the memory to a 2x4gb kit.

Yeah that's what I'll probably do if not then the 2600, now just need to decide if I should wait for Black Friday

Can I ask why the Vega56 though if the 1070TI is the same price?

Why just 1 stick of RAM?  Ryzen likes dual channel as well as high speed RAM. Do a 2x4GB config instead.

 

Or are you planning to add 8GB later?

CPU: Sempron 2500+ / P4 2.8E / P4 2.6C / A64 x2 4000+ / E6420 / E8500 / i5-3470 / i7-3770

Yeah If I feel like 1 stick of 8GB is too little then i'll add another otherwise I feel like 8GB should be enough for now

Because Freesync? You're pretty much getting Freesync for free in this case.
