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 surprisingly good stock coolers. consider using them over any

Is this worth for the 1080? I wanna get into gaming and streaming without drawbacks.

>streaming without drawbacks. Why not an R7 1700 then? Or do you intend to stream using the GPU? Doesn't make much sense when you can stream with a 1700 for a quite cheaper price overall

Better CPU (for what you want), much better CPU cooler (though you could remove it entirely since the 1600 comes with a decent cooler) and faster RAM, for slightly less money.

Okay serious question. I have an rig with an 6700k/gtx1080, and I was looking to get into twitch streaming or similar. Now after looking through /pcbg/ for the past few months I was almost about to sell my PC and start a Ryzen build for the sake of high framerate gaming...until I got a webcam and did some testing.
I was recording, doing web browsing, running discord, etc, all while playing PU Battlegrounds, which is notoriously poorly optimized. At 1080p, in ultra, I'm still hitting 80+ fps in firefights, 120 fps in static environments....which is almost exactly what I get when I'm only running the game by itself.
So what gives, why does everyone shit on the Intel chips when it comes to multitasking? I see the cinebench results and they are impressive, but it doesn't seem to match up with the current fervor that Intel chips can't keep up when using multiple programs, because they can.

6700k is still perfectly fine for streaming (as your testing showed), no need to upgrade.
but it's a better value to buy Ryzen if you're upgrading from anything less than an i7.
and they shit on Intel because AMD is much cheaper for almost the same performance.

>i think H5 is slightly better than that Noctua cooler They perform about the same, but the Noctua is smaller, quieter, has a better warranty and comes with AM4 support out of the box, rather than needing to order a kit.
Nolan Evans
r8 my build m8s, 8/8? I'm trying to go all AMD, no Intel or Nvidia. Then Samsung where I can because I really like their shit (except for anything they put TouchWiz or Tizen on). Followed by Corsair because I like their aesthetic.
So it's kind of themed by the companies I want to support the most. Although, I went with the GIgabyte mobo because it's exactly what I need, without any extra bells and whistles, and the G.Skill RAM because it's high speed, low latency, and good compatibility with Ryzen.
I'm still waiting on the RX Vega, though. They're not looking as good as I was hoping, but I want FreeSync, so hopefully one of the RX Vega GPUs will be roughly the power of a GTX 1080 at roughly the price of a GTX 1070.
That's unfortunate, but I'd rather support FreeSync of G-Sync. Ain't no niggas ever gonna get G-Sync in their TVs; FreeSync is gonna be in everything.
Hunter Campbell
>why does everyone shit on the Intel chips when it comes to multitasking? >it doesn't seem to match up with the current fervor that Intel chips can't keep up when using multiple programs, because they can. That is said about the i5s CPUs in general, not i7. i7 will still do good, but say you run something intensive like BF1 then it'll start shitting the bed. Whereas an R7 1700 can stream without any problem while playing any game there is, it's just straight up superior. But yeah, it doesn't mean you cannot stream on non-Ryzen CPUs.

Were you putting the load on the CPU or GPU? Considering how strong a GTX 1080 for 1080p, i'm fairly sure the load was on the GPU.

Elijah Allen
overpriced RAM. you can get 500GB NVMe SSD for under $200. check review on the monitor (that does UFO test) to confirm it's actually 100Hz and can output that and doesnt drop frames. meme keyboard and mouse.
rest is fine
Robert Davis
You realize in that graph that they keep swapping the 7700k and the 1700x to keep the better one on top and in most of those the 7700k performs better.
Brody Wilson
you're still missing the point, go look at some stats and benchmarks.
that's not how you check actual load.
it also costs a lot more
Lincoln Wright
Shit, I forgot about the PSU because I'm still waiting on the GPU and always do the PSU last.
It's currently at 159W and the RX Vega is rumored to be anywhere from 200-300W. If it's 300W, that puts my build at 460W.
So, should I get a 550W PSU or spend the extra $10-$20 in case I ever want dual GPUs and go with a 750W PSU?

would i be better off getting the anus b350-f strix for 546 pln or the msi b350 carbon for 528 pln? looking at memory support, the msi is much better, i couldn't even find a single 3200 mhz kit under 650 pln which would be listed as supported, while msi claims the b350 carbon supports pretty much any kit i can find in stores also the anus board has no ps/2, not sure how much that means these times i've already ordered the ryzen 5 1600 so now i need to decide on the mobo pretty soon
Jayden Ramirez
if AMD get 600W.
never get dual GPUs it's a meme, it's better to replace with one better card.
what the fuck is a pln?

1. I've been following the Ryzen chips since they were released. Except the number crunching benchmarks, it doesn't seem very well utilized
2. Please tell me how to check load
3. They're the same price but 7700k has no bugs and has more motherboard flexibility
Hudson Hill
>overpriced RAM. All 3200Mhz 14CAS RAM is expensive, but Ryzen benefits a lot from high speed RAM. I don't mind paying more to eliminate bottlenecks.
>you can get 500GB NVMe SSD for under $200. I don't want 500GB, though. I want 1TB of M.2 RAM because I want the fewest cables in my build and the fastest speeds. Plus, I wouldn't need to upgrade that Samsung 960 EVO shit for a looooong time.
>check review on the monitor (that does UFO test) to confirm it's actually 100Hz and can output that and doesnt drop frames. I didn't even know I could do that, thanks for the info. What's the UFO test and where can I search this monitor's results in it?
>meme keyboard and mouse. Fair enough, but I like RGB expernals, the keyboard has Cherry MX Silent switches (my girlfriend always complains about and Cherry MX switches I've had being too loud), and I'm a WoWfag, so that mouse is great for me.
Leo Reed
The series of PSUs I'm interested in only come in 550, 650, 750, etc. So should I go with 550 or 650?
Aiden James
If you want gaming AND streaming then definitely look into Ryzen. 1080 is fine, only consider Vega if you are not looking to build to immediately. I am in no way suggesting you wait for it as some might, but it may be another option if that lines up with your time frame. Mining craze is dying down but 1070 prices are still high so may as well go 1080, and certainly so if you are targeting higher refresh rates and resolutions.
Kayden Hughes
Your RAM and CPU shouldn't be a bottleneck.

Landon Adams
1. what 2. resource monitor or openhwmon 3. 1700 is almost $50 cheaper for more cores/threads. ryzen 5 performs almost identical in most tasks that are threaded for almost half the price
since AMD uses more power get the 650W
>CL14 that explains it but im not sure how much of a difference that makes in performance vs CL15 and 16 to make it worth it.
>I don't want 500GB, though. I want 1TB of M.2 my point was that there are cheaper options than Samsung PRO series for the same storage. >RAM wut?
>What's the UFO test google monitor ufo test >and where can I search this monitor's results in it? i dont know of any site that has a repository for them. search for reviews and just go thru them and see if they do it.
guess mouse and kb is fine for you then.
Elijah Cooper
>Buying a used Xeon workstation with an E5-1620 and 16GB DDR3 RAM is more than $100 cheaper than what an equivalent performing CPU, Ryzen 1500X, 16GB DDR4 RAM and motherboard alone would cost new
So exactly why would I buy a PC new? If your budget is less than $800 then it makes no sense whatsoever to buy a PC new since any CPU worse than the 1600 isn't worth buying at retail price.
The only drawbacks I can see is that it's relatively power hungry and has limited upgradability but I can just sell it when I'm going to build a new rig.
Chase Adams
it's only $10
>So exactly why would I buy a PC new? to get the latest features the platform offers, if they appeal to you that is. otherwise, not really any.

>there's 2TB options from other brands and models. 1TB drives are fucking terrible options these days. For just [x] more money, right? There's literally nothing wrong with a 1TB drive for basic storage needs.
