Planning a new amd pc.

[derrickd241]

Planning on upgrading my rig to play doom and bf5 @1440p. I do plan on overclocking the r5 2600 as well. Any other suggestions are appreciated! prices are a bit ridiculous unfortunately. But what do I expect when i want to game in 1440 xD.

Honestly. That is a pretty good rig. However, I would recommend switching the vega 64 out to a 1080 as I just feel more confident with nvidia for my gpu(usually less issues). It also seems to be slightly faster for around the same price and you can use geforce experience which I personally enjoy. Really, it's just personal preference, but i would personally go with a 1080. If you have the money, I would move to maybe a 1080ti as you may have to lower a few settings to play 1440p on the 1080, but it should do fine.

The only reason i really want amd is for freesync. Since gsync monitors are crazy expensive.

you picked a sata m.2 ssd, and the mobo only one slot, make sure you wont regret on future updates.

otherwise get a nvme for $15 more

To be 100% honest I havn't found g-sync and free-sync worth paying extra for. It is kind of a gimmick, but if that is something you wanted, then I would go AMD. Usually with a 1080 or vega, your framerates stay in a range where it is smooth over 60 fps but not high enough to have screen tearing. There is other ways to deal with screen tearing. It's up to you. Free-sync might not be a bad investment since it is so cheap.

Thanks for catching that. I switched it to an nvme m.2  for a boot drive.

Vega 56 is the better option for AMD gpu. Although the Vega 64 is more powerful, it runs hotter and generally throttles everywhere. Also, I updated the motherboard, which now includes 2 m.2 slots and switched the drive to SATA ssd. Cut the cost by about 50 USD
