Is this worth getting?

No. Buy intel. Games are not multithreaded

i have one alongside with a 1050ti
theyre both midrange pieces so dont expect to max out modern games, though certain games that came out these last few years i.e. gta 5, fallout 4 and so on run on high/very high at 1080p at 60fps

Runs overwatch with an RX 480 at high settings easily, very fast for 3d software, video rendering, etc.

AMD's current marketing strategy is attempting to convince a few million people that Intel is a bully who breaks the law to push them out of markets.
So you tell me whether you should give them any money.

Holycrap nice sjw subreddit we have here on neogaf.

No.

Intel is superior in every way, either wait for Ryzen 2 or get an 8400

AMD is owned by jews too, what's your point? I'd rather pay for jewish shit that works as opposed to jewish shit that doesn't, kek.

You want the best performance per core, not performance across all cores when it comes to gaming. AMD CPUs perform well when there's multithreading involved (not vidya), but each core alone isn't going to match up to Intel.

lord i bet you're one of the first people to throw a bitch fit when jimmy kimmel makes fun of gamers for watching streams. this isn't your pol circlejerk just as much as it isnt his hugbox, faggot. consider suicide

Is building a PC still expensive due to memecoin farmers?

Yes

>get an 8400
Nice meme. It's £100 more expensive currently for the same power while requiring a motherboard upgrade that will be already made redundant by Q1 2018 because Intel forces proprietary upgrades and refusal to do forwards compatibility to Jew more money out of people.

Running a 1600, 1060, and 16 of RAM, things running smooth.

i5 8400 and Ryzen 5 1600 are both good, get whatever is cheaper. 1600 has the potential to be better down the road tho

speculators expect video card prices to go back to normal in 6 months. other components aren't affected. really, the price of an entire PC is like +$100 right now, which isn't that bad considering the nvidia 10x0 is the fastest generation compared to its (baseline) price in like 15 years.

I bought a 1600 so i can grab a zen 2 in a few years and use the same mobo

Just get a PS4, faggot.

ram is fucking expensive right now too

Thanks for your contribution jamal.

>AMD CPUs perform well when there's multithreading involved (not vidya)
You people are literally retarded. Game use multithreading far more often now, especially with this focus on open world games with huge ass draw distances, which is where AMD absolutely shits all over Intel.

Intel's performance is better during single threaded instances (i,e when there isn't much demanding scenery on display), but the performance difference there isn't even remotely on the level of the gap you see when rendering large open environments/tons of particle effects.

it's not that bad, ddr4 ram is just more expensive because production hasn't shifted primarily to it yet

why do you think draw distance is a function of multithreading? lol

"you guys are stupid, now watch as i demonstrate my complete blithe ignorance to the topic at hand"

games are NOT increasingly multithreaded, period. People have been saying they're "going to be soon" since 2004.

>same power

Lmao

also LOL if you upgrade your PC so often you care about motherboard sockets

maybe if you didn't buy AMD crap you wouldn't care about how many generations will fit into your 80$ motherboard?

That's not true but games don't utilize it enough to actually benefit from 8 cores. So that makes the stronger cores from intel more desirable for games.

Yeah, suck a dick faggot, come back when you know what you're talking about and enjoy your drops to sub-60fps lmao.

>7600k

what year is it?

why would anyone care about how Shitzen compares to a 2 generation old intel chip?

>Cryengine
>relevant

"enjoy your drops to sub-60fps" the budget AMD user says to the guy running the 7700k.

They are, mainly because of the consoles making use of 8 thread CPUs. We're seeing this PC side right now, which is why the 7700k will crush most things when it gets the chance to stretch it's legs. This also presents a secondary problem, in that because a game will use all 8 threads that leaves none left for additional work loads, like recording or streaming or anything else that requires CPU power.

We're kinda at a point where if you're gaming at 144hz you can get by with a AMD CPU in some cases, but in all of them the a i7 will crush it. If you're still gaming on a 60hz 1080p screen from 5 years ago like most poorfags do. It literally doesn't matter anymore.

If you don't want to buy an i7, ryzen is your best option.

>, in that because a game will use all 8 threads that leaves none left for additional work loads,

this isn't how computers work. stop.

new i5 deletes ryzen for about same price. stop recommending it, ever.

the 2000s called, they want their ancient meme back.

For the price, yeah.
Intel's 8th-Gen cpus are better, but they're more expensive and the motherboards supporting them are crazy expensive. Plus Intel will probably require a new mobo chipset AGAIN if/when they release a new series.
Ryzen isn't as efficient in games, but motherboards are waaaaaaaaaay cheaper and you get better performance in video/photo work if that matters to you.

TL;DR: Ryzen on a budget, Intel if price isn't an object.
