If you want help:
>State the budget for your build (and country if not the USA).
>List games/software you use often, as well as your monitor resolution + refresh rate.
>Clarify your goal for build improvements: lower price or improved specs?

CPUs:
>G4560 - Budget builds (R5 1400 - if you can't afford better or specifically need 8 threads but not a very powerful CPU
>R5 1500x - Buy the 1600 instead
>R5 1600 - Best value for higher fps gaming / mixed usage; Get a 1600x if you don't OC
>R7/Xeon/Threadripper - Compute/Multitask/mixed use; Not required for just gaming.

GPUs:
>Integrated CPU Graphics - Desktop stuff and very light games
>RX 560 and GTX 1050Ti - Lower end budget cards, drop settings on newer games
>RX570 - 1080p@60hz at high, running most maxed older games at 144+hz.
>RX580 and GTX1060 6GB - 1080p@60hz maxed, 1440p@60hz at lower settings; Go for the RX580 if you can.
>GTX 1070 - 1080p@144hz /1440p@60hz at high
>GTX 1080 - 1080p@144hz / 1440p@60hz maxed, 4k@60hz in a few games; Probably the highest end card you need for 1080p/1440p.
>GTX 1080 Ti - 1440p@144 hz and 4k@60hz maxed/high in many games; You're kind of going overboard with this one.
>AMD GPUs are suffering a lack of stock and Nvidia a rise in price thanks to miners

RAM:
>Check your Mobo QVL before buying any RAM
>Ryzen benefits from high speed RAM

General:
>ALWAYS LOOK AT PRODUCT REVIEWS!
>Always consider an SSD. Try buying a large SSD for what you'd pay for your SSD+HDD combined, and add a HDD later
>NVMe SSDs aren't for a faster OS boot, they're for productivity/scratch disk/VMs. NVMe and M.2 are not the same thing, M.2 is a form factor.
>The Ryzen lineup comes with exceptionally good stock coolers. (with the exception of the 1600X) consider using them over any sub 35USD cooler.

time to update your shit pajeet

shit thread with shit picture created early
please delete it and make another with an appropriate pc building or hardware related picture please

still for poorfags

>created early
other thread hit bump limit, stop crying

Kill yourself, retard. Saged once again.

For starters, general are created a few minutes before or immediately after they die, regardless of bump limit. You would've learned that by lurking more.
Secondly, it was created 5 posts before bump limit.

if shills like you leave then the thread will be better off, bye fag

>trying to derail the new thread this early

Would I regret using an 8c16t Ryzen chip for a server? Here's the situation.
Gaming and overall build already done
>1700X
>Asus ROG X370 board
>32GB ddr4-2400

I was looking to get a 1600X, ASRock taichi X370, and 16GB of the fastest ram I can find. The 1600X and ram would be swapped into the gaming build.

I know everyone will say wait for Threadripper, but they're showing 180w tdp. I'm looking for low power use as this server will be on at all times. I intend to underclock/volt the 1700X to get as low as possible. If I can get the 1700X under 50w I'd be happy. My dual core Haswell Pentium does 42w. Does all this sound like a good idea?
