Reddit mentions of AMD Ryzen 5 1600 Processor with Wraith Spire (no LED) Cooler (YD1600BBAEBOX)

R5. Pretty close to the i5 in gaming but smashes it in productivity.

Edit: Eh fuck it, full comparison.

i5 7600k - $210. Doesn't come with a stock cooler, can commonly reach overclocks of 4.7-4.8 GHz, 4 Cores / 4 Threads.

Here is a brief comparison between them while OC'd to 3.9 and 4.5

Here is another comparison, this time at 4.0 and 5.0 respectively

Here is a third comparison. 3.8 and 4.7

Draw your own conclusions.

Productivity is a no brainer. 6 Cores and 12 Threads for $210, triple the threads of the 7600k. I'm not sure where to get specific benchmarks for these types of applications, do your own research on that. Anything that takes advantage of lots of cores will do better on the 1600, as far as I'm aware.

---

At the lower price point - 1400 @ $160 vs i5-7400 @ $185 / i3-7100 @ $160

...No comparison. Intel loses the clock speed advantage while AMD retains the core advantage. There is absolutely no point getting an Intel CPU that isn't the i5-7600k or i7-7700k

Figured I'd post this more to show what a joke Tom's Hardware has become.

They conveniently ignored the a Ryzen 1600 which does just as well as the 1600X when both are overclocked, but for $219 and it comes with a very competent cooler.

The 7600K doesn't come with a cooler for the price point Tom's has them listed for, with a cooler, the 7600K will cost you around $269. $269 is uncomfortably close to what we see 1700's go for on buildapcsales.

Might want to reconsider your pricing on the Ryzen 5 1600

Ryzen 1600 is $150 too
here

You might want to lower the price a bit. Right now, it's $209 on Amazon with free One-Day shipping for Prime members.

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/offer-listing/B06XNRQHG4/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new

Amazon has had it for 260 for awhile now.

For the record, lowest has been 245 during the eBay coupon deal

So is this CPU better than my current one and good enough for 1080ti?

> yet you are comparing 1600 with 7600k

I don't understand the confusion here. You stated i5s are much better, I provided a comparison stating otherwise.

>why buy expensive ryzen platform

Ryzen 5 1600 is $219, i5 7600K is $229. Not sure if you're intentionally trolling at this point or just really out of the loop.

>what is the source of your benchmarks?

Ryzen 5 and i5 7600K benchmarks aren't exactly a mystery. Here's one from Paul's Hardware giving similar performance to the ones I linked.

There's currently 3 on Amazon Warehouse too, £183 with free prime shipping. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B06XNRQHG4/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition=used

Okay well I did the math anyways;

1600x scores ~1368 in multithreading and costs 231 euros. Which give it a score of 5.9 from your chart.

The 1600 gets ~1258 in mulithreading and costs 199 euros, getting a score of 6.32.

This was done assuming amazon.de prices include VAT, but if they don't and you need to add 19% on top, you still get 5.31 for the 1600 and 4.98 for the 1600x putting them both above 1700 anyways.

The 1600 is $154 on Amazon and Newegg. It's a hell of a deal imo.

The 1600 is only $129 on amazon as well

Well well well, frenchie.

Agreed , 1600(non x) w/ Wraith Spire $199.99 is the better option for the budget , saved around $30 there .

This (1500x) is their best quadcore with full 2CCX's worth of 16MB L3 cache https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Processor-Wraith-Cooler-YD150XBBAEBOX/dp/B06XKVNRSM/r

But I'm sure the hexacore 1600 is their best midrange CPU (and best value at under $220). It's basically a higher end CPU at midrange price.

https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Processor-Wraith-Cooler-YD1600BBAEBOX/dp/B06XNRQHG4/

Whether the Ryzen 5 1600x qualifies as mid range or high end might depend on your income figure. I'd consider it either. $270 at Amazon right now.
https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Ryzen-1600X-Processor-YD160XBCAEWOF/dp/B06XKWT7GD

Just so you know, these new on Amazon are quite a bit less than what you're asking:

https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Processor-Wraith-Cooler-YD1600BBAEBOX/dp/B06XNRQHG4/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=ryzen+1600&qid=1556857154&s=gateway&sr=8-3

The extra cores from the i5 are going to help you with streaming quite a bit.

It is worth noting, however, that the Ryzen 5 1600 is a very similar processor to that one for a similar price but also has an upgrade path in case you decide to go bigger later on.

https://www.amazon.ca/AMD-Processor-Wraith-Cooler-YD1600BBAEBOX/dp/B06XNRQHG4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1526760293&sr=8-1&keywords=r5+1600

It is not.

　

200GE: Microcenter ($40) vs Amazon ($58)

2200G: Microcenter ($60) vs Amazon ($78)

1600: Microcenter ($80) vs Amazon ($101)

2970WX: Microcenter ($800) vs Amazon ($915)

(this list is not exhastive but rather is to give an idea of prices across the entire price range)

　

And Microcenter lets you save a farther $30 when bundling with a motherboard.

might be hard to find a buyer. they're $170 new from amazon /newegg after rebate. even cheaper if you have a microcenter

http://www.microcenter.com/product/478826/Ryzen_5_1600_32GHz_6_Core_AM4_Boxed_Processor_with_Wraith_Spire_Cooler

The only thing I would change is to upgrade the CPU to say a R5 1600, which are going pretty cheap these days. The 2200G is redundant because you have dedicated graphics, and a poor choice in general withers only 4 cores

EDIT:

From amazon.fr : R5 1600 : 235 €

i5 6600k : 260 €

• i5-7600k - This 4 core 4 thread CPU is awesome for gaming but struggles under heavily multi-threaded workloads. It doesn't come with a cooler, I would recomend this one. Total price w/CPU cooler = $244.88 USD
  
  
• AMD Ryzen 7 1700 - This 8 core 16 thread CPU is an absolute multi-threaded beast for the price. It's quite a lot less powerful per-core than the i5-7600k which will hurt gaming performance if your CPU is the limiting factor. It comes with a fancy RGB cooler. It's price has been dropping quite a lot recently, already down to $269.99 USD
  
  
• AMD Ryzen 5 1600 - This 6 core 12 thread CPU is pretty much the same as the R7 1700 but with two fewer cores and four less total logical threads. It will have near the same single threaded performance as the 1700. This will also work with the same motherboards as the 1700. It ships with a slightly less fancy cooler as the 1700, but it will still keep it cool. Price is very good at $199.99 USD

Yeah and someone else added in that prices were a lot higher in Canada...makes senses that seller's price is higher than someone who's selling in the US

Edit: https://www.amazon.ca/AMD-Processor-Wraith-Cooler-YD1600BBAEBOX/dp/B06XNRQHG4/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=NK9QO6SBK3I7&keywords=ryzen+5+1600&qid=1556894436&s=gateway&sprefix=Ryzen+5+1&sr=8-1

A new R5 1600 is going for 150 new on Amazon. You might want to try lowering the price GLWS.

whoa! the ryzen 5 1600 got cheaper.

https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Processor-Wraith-Cooler-YD1600BBAEBOX/dp/B06XNRQHG4/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1511083530&sr=1-1&keywords=ryzen+5+1600

I was looking at the Amazon R5 1600 w/ cooler and the Asus Prime b350 w/ Assassins Creed but would this be a much better deal or no?

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XNRQHG4

And the stock cooler with this CPU is actually so solid. I got a Corsair H60 water cooler but only because I stream. Yet, when streaming and running pubg I see max temps of 64C at 3.4GhZ with the stock cooler

Amd Ryzens are pretty nice at the moment and cheap. Ryzen 1600 is a good choice. I recommend a SSD disk and a second one HDD so you have a faster system and also an storage disk. Graphic card will be the hardest. Maybe a cheap 1050 2 gb will do.

The total is around 700. You may need to add some more things put this is enough for full functionallity. Also, I wouldnt buy the parts on amazon, but this way you can search them in a good electronics shop from your country which adds the assembly. Standards can be changed easily, that depends on what you preffer.

(Ignore the dickhead who gave the RAM a 1* review)

That gives you enough left over for a case, SSD and PSU and would be a perfectly serviceable machine for recording.

R5 1600 hands down in that budget, if you can't wait for Intel Coffee Lake in October https://www.amazon.ca/gp/offer-listing/B06XNRQHG4/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new

8 GB ram + Ryzen 1600 + MOBO = 358

RAM is crazy expensive right now... If you want 16Gb, its gonna be like 170$.

and then... spain Pccomponentes 215

Amazon 210

Edit: for 160€ here you get... well, r1400

Hey, great parts list imo. Honestly, there really wasn't anything I could change. With that being said, I went ahead and put together an "alternate" build. Please read my notes before proceeding:

• CPU: If you'd like, you can order your Ryzen 1600 from Amazon for the same price as from Newegg + Free Shipping (and one day with prime). For whatever reason Amazon's page for the 1600 is glitched and doesnt display the right price. To get the correct price ($265), go to this Amazon page, and then add to cart.
  
• RAM: Your choice of RAM is definitely the best value, no doubt. Since I couldn't do anything here, I went and added the next best value. Its slightly quicker, has much better timings, and uses Samsung B-Die (best RAM die on the market).
  
• CASES: I see that you wrote that you really like the Air 240! That's great, its an awesome case. Just for some alternatives, I'd suggest taking a look at the Fractal Design Define C ($95 w/ $5 coupon, awesome value) and the brand new Fractal Design Meshify C ($120+$20 S/H, sadly its a bit pricey). There's also the Corsair Carbide which is also very pricey, but I thought I'd throw it in there as it's similar looking to the Air 240.
  
• PSU: The Rosewill Photon is a pretty good power supply, certainly no slouch if you get a working one. This series is hit or miss. I'd definitely recommend the EVGA 650W GQ primarily because it is more reliable, but also because it has an additional 100W overhead. The real steal is that it's only about $5 more once you've completed your $20 Mail-in rebate!
  
• WIFI: Admittedly my knowledge regarding this category and the following are rather limited. All I know is that the AC1900 is a super well respected wifi card and it's on sale for $72 on Amazon, in your position I'd pick this one up.
  
• MOUSE, KEYBOARD, AND HEADPHONES: I threw in a bunch of different alternatives in here since a lot of it is definitely personal preference. The mouse and keyboard you selected would definitely be fantastic, especially if you get the charging pad for your G403. I really like the G502 at its current Amazon price though ($90), and for the keyboards any of them would be fantastic (I'd lean towards the G610). For the headphones I have even less knowledge, but I have the HyperX Cloud and I love it. It's currently on sale for $98 on Amazon.
  
  Here's the pcpartpicker list for those items that I mentioned above, be sure to remove the extra keyboards and mice I threw in for reference. When you do that (and -$20 for the MIR on the Power Supply), this build comes to about $90 more. Like I said before I just wanted to show you some alternatives (what you've selected is already great).

French Amazon website (£198) https://www.amazon.fr/AMD-Ryzen-1600-Processeur-Ventilateur/dp/B06XNRQHG4/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1492259736&sr=8-3&keywords=1600

CPU - Ryzen is a no-brainer here. Music production is very CPU intensive so a Ryzen CPU with more cores and threads would be the better pick here than an i5. Ryzen CPUs are also fantastic for streaming as they provide a stable average framerate (Intel's are known to have a wide variation between maximum and minimum). It is 5 (-10) % behind Intel in gaming but it is usually not a very noticeable difference and I think it is a worthy compromise for all the benefits you trade for. If you opt for the R5 1600 already you will have 3x as many threads as the 7600, and it looks like you'll need them for all the multitasking you have described.

Therefore I suggest you swap out your $336.00 cpu+mobo combo for:

• $219 Ryzen 5 1600 (comes with decent stock cooler) and $85 Gigabyte B350 microatx mobo with crossfire support This route will save you ~$35 with which you can invest into another 1TB WD Blue for all your games and music library OR You can pick up a full sized ATX B350 motherboard with crossfire support and no extra hdd
  
  Everything else I agree with, especially the ultrawide monitor which will be invaluable to your multitasking. you will need to pick a mouse and case but that is your own preference. I suggest an S340 elite as a great & affordable option.
  
  edit: changed the motherboard to one that supports crossfire as you have wished

I was going to go with a similar build as you several weeks ago, and have decided to go with a Ryzen 5 1600 (comes with cooler). The FX technology is 5 years old. You're essentially locking yourself into having 0 upgrades (not cost effective, not a good idea).

The Ryzen 5 1600 is $220 (with a cooler). It's a great deal.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XNRQHG4/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=MBRQQOW0EK0J&coliid=I2E53OHG3AQE99&psc=1

The AM4 Motherboard I am looking at is the Gigabyte Gaming:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XDNB3G4/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=MBRQQOW0EK0J&coliid=I23S2X0S5US113&psc=1

That's $100...
RAM is expensive, but you can get 16GB's of DDR4 for about $120.

That's $440. I think you'll be happier in the long run with those items. The motherboard can hold 64GB's of RAM, is M.2, it's a nice board - plenty of SATA cables. Like I said, I was thinking of going with an older FX - it's a bad idea. Your computer will be FINE for 5 years. The old build will NOT ben fine, and you'll need to upgrade something.....

Please...Stop over to /r/AMD and find out what others think about the R5-1600.

Or you could look at completed builds on /r/builapc.

Or check out the reviews for the R5-1600 on Amazon here:https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Processor-Wraith-Cooler-YD1600BBAEBOX/dp/B06XNRQHG4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1500517543&sr=8-1&keywords=r5-1600

1600 | 218€ | 225€
1500X | 203€ | 209€

I only welected the one sold directly by amazon or managed by them, if you're willing to go with Amazon marketplace there's a 1800X for 432€ and a 1600X for 236€.

They seem to be pretty close to most of the european prices.

My question regarding the X version is what to pick when I already have a Corsair 280mm AIO.

If you're looking for an R5 1600, amazon is selling them for $210 right now. Then again, I'm not sure what your budget is so this could be completely useless

AMD Ryzen 5 1600 Processor with Wraith Spire Cooler (YD1600BBAEBOX) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XNRQHG4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_9lVzzbCY250WQ

Due to mining, Now is not a good time unless you are going for highend Nvidia e.g 1080 gtx or a non Ti 1050 on the low end.. as some GPU's are double the price...

For example AMD RX 580 launched at $200 and now it's approx $350-450 ... I have even seen them on ebay for $800

As you are in the UK you are now double screwed too..

Even mid-high Nvidia cards like the 1070 are 600-700 pounds on ebay.co.uk

At your budget I would be looking at getting a 970 GTX for 200

Then Maybe a Ryzen 1600 for 187

Motherboard and 16gb of DDR RAM will be another 160

Leaving you with 150-250 to get SSD, Power Supply , CPU heatsink cooler , Case and maybe a monitor... maybe even Mouse and KB too.

Audio Interface: Roland Quad-Capture

Headphones: Beyerdynamic DT 770

CPU: Ryzen 5 1600

GPU: NVidia GTX 1050

HDD: Seagate BarraCuda 2 TB

SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB

RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x8 GB

Here's why I chose these components.

Audio Interface: All of Roland's products that I used were well-built, aesthetic and most of all sounding great!

Headphones: I've been using these exact headphones for about 5 years and they are very comfortable, robust and precise in sound.

CPU: The new Ryzen CPUs are in my opinion perfect for music production. They have a nice price-performance ratio and give you 6 cores and 12 threads which can beneficial when using at least 12 tracks (which I assume you will).

GPU: The NVidia GPU is capable of handling most games that are not too graphically intense. You can also pick an equivalent AMD GPU, I have always been with NVidia so that's what I chose.

HDD: The Seagate BarraCuda hard drives are cheap but they work perfectly and 2 TB should be enough to handle all the programs and sample libraries.

SSD: To be honest, I just heard great things of these SSDs. I am sure you can also pick a different brand but I wouldn't risk that with the SSD. 250 GB should be enough for your OS and DAW.

RAM: 16 GB is more than enough and the clock speed of that RAM is pretty high.

Of course you also need other stuff like a PC case, power supply, monitor etc. but I figured I would let you choose these components since they are mostly personal preference. However, I would advise against very cheap power supplies. You don't want them to blow up the whole computer.

My bad, prices are in CAD.

And i took that into account. Quick google search says 180 CAD (now asking 185 CAD) is $137 USD which is still above amazons price new and still goes with what i said. Unreasonable Price...

Doing a 1600 build in a Core V1 -- was considering just doing the Red Dragon 570 8GB for $149. Would it be worth it to up to this? Only looking to do 60FPS at 1080P for non-intensive games (e.g. Siege, BO4, Civ).

This will run both of those really well

Unfortunately, It would not let me post the amazon link because it had been posted here before, hence the 3 camels link.

Here is the amazon link for those concerned: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06XNRQHG4

Here you go! Those are the parts I picked. I had a hard time vagueing the components for the PC. If you are a german speak we can also talk in german if you prefer that more. You have mentioned Adobe therefore I have focused to get a much stronger multithreaded CPU.

• CPU: I went with the cheapest AMD Ryzen 5 processor which is the R5 1400. Gaming performance is slightly behind all the other Ryzen processors however this PC is also overclockable so you can get more cpu gaming performance out of this CPU which evens it out again to the more expensive Ryzen R5 CPUs. If you do not mind spending about $50 more I can highly recommend getting the AMD Ryzen R5 1600. that costs around ~222€ the R5 1400, R5 1500X (~203€) are both 4cores8threads CPU like Intels i7 (~340€) CPUs. the R5 1600 is a 6cores12threads CPU. rendering in Adobe is much much faster if you have a cpu with more cores/threads. imagine 8 people shareing the workload and working together. this is much faster than only 4 people (Intel i5 are 4cores4threads that cost the same as Ryzen R5). even better are 12threads (R5 1600). however in order to stay within your 600€ i had to pick 1400
  
  
• RAM I went with the cheapest 2x4GB Kit that was around 3000MHz. Adobe benefits a lot from Dual Channel Memory aswell as fast memory. Ryzen gaming performance also increases with higher RAM speeds.
  
  
• Motherboard I went with the cheapest motherboard that supports overclocking (if you ever want to do that in the future) aswell as 4 RAM slots. So that you can always upgrade to 16GB of RAM by adding the same 2 sticks again.
  
  
• CPU cooler you will not need. there is an amd stock cooler coming inside the CPU Box
  
  
• Storage: I went with an 240GB SSD which is enough for windows 10, GTA V, Sims and all of her most frequently used software like Adobe. if she ever runs out of storage space you can upgrade with an additional HDD in the future. While an expensive and small 240GB SSD is totally optional i can highly recommend buying one. the PC will boot within seconds compared to minutes, software especially Adobe will load MUCH faster and the PC will just feel faster. it doesnt matter if you have a $1000 CPU, if your main storagedevice as a slow HDD the PC will always take forever to load something. for the future: 1TB costs around 50€, 3TB costs around 80€
  
  
• GPU I went with an RX460. If this were a gaming rig I would have went with a much cheaper CPU and more powerful GPU however since you mentioned Sims and Adobe the RX460 is all you need. GTA V will run at 1080p90-100fps at medium settings. around 60 at high and around 40-60 at ultra. a GTX1050 would be around 10% faster however they cost 40€ more on amazon which is not worth it.
  
  
• PSU I went with a beQuiet pure power 80+Silver 500W. very high quality PSU which actually is very quiet. 500W is definitly total overkill for this rig however if more GPU performance is ever needed you have the option to upgrade to an RX580 or GTX1070 without the need of buying a new PSU
  
  LINK TO AMAZON SCREENSHOT HERE
  
  this got me to a total of 583€. which leaves you with around 20€ for a computercase. I dont want to pick a PC case because you have to pick one yourself you know your sibling will like. You can save money by reusing an old computercase or buying second hand. You just need to make sure it is microATX or ATX formfactor so that the motherboard and PSU fit. You could definitly pick the cheapest case there is however they are cheap for a reason (no USB 3.0, very little space for any large GPU, cheap construction which "gets the job done" however have lots of sharp edges and are annoying to build with. When you found a case you like go to https://geizhals.de/ and check for the cheapest amazon listing. the amazon search filter is fucking shit.
  
  Here are some personal recommendations I can give you. Check out YouTube or on the bottom left side of the link I included with the cases for inspiration:
  
  
• ~43€ Thermaltake Versa H15 cheap, basic case which has lets of space for any upgrades (support for long graphicscards and 3x 3.5" Bays for lots of HDDs and SSD) and very builderfriendly, microATX(medium)
  
  
• ~60€ Fractal Design Core 1500 minimalstic, comes with Fancontroller, microATX(medium)
  
  
• ~86€ Fractal Design Define Mini C reduced noise, similar to Core1500, slightly larger, microATX (medium)
  
  
• ~80-110€ NZXT S340 and NZXT S340 Elite(tempered glass) in its various colours, expensive however very beautiful, ATX (big)
  
  If you have any questions regarding anything feel free to ask me in german or english. both is fine!

No, you can get a new 1600 on amazon for $176 right now. There's no difference between the two except for clock speed and you can overclock both to around the same level.

https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Processor-Wraith-Cooler-YD1600BBAEBOX/dp/B06XNRQHG4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1525049299&sr=8-2&keywords=1600x

https://www.amazon.co.uk/AMD-Ryzen-1600-Desktop-CPU/dp/B06XNRQHG4 136 pounds if you have prime or use prime trial

Newegg and Amazon has this CPU priced at $265 so you wouldn't be able to.

AMD Ryzen 5 1600 Processor with Wraith Spire Cooler (YD1600BBAEBOX) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XNRQHG4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Z8ErDbTNS3J0J

Can get 1400 on amazon for less

You do know that the R3 2200G is only 4 cores and 4 threads right? The R5 2400G is the one with 4 cores and 8 threads.

If you are considering getting a CPU. I highly recommend getting Ryzen 5 1600 or 2600. Many games are starting to use more than 4 cores, so having 6 cores is a better option.

If you don't want to spend a lot of money, the Ryzen 5 1600 is only $175, only $15 more than the R5 1500X. Paying $15 more for an additional 2 cores and 4 threads is a steal in my opinion. At least when comparing those two processors.

• • -
    Also, even Intel has finally admitted that multi-threading is becoming more of a thing. They've made their i5's and i7's 6 core processors now. Shouldn't that be an indicator?

what vernacular do retailers call price drops? yes, "sales".

You can order all these parts for free to Finland from amazon.de, should take 2 weeks. Ryzen is good for streaming and the second gen ryzen is too expensive for the 2% performance increase. 16gb of ram should be enough and the gpu has enough juice to stream most games at 1080p 60fps. Also i found a pretty cheap 27 inch 144hz screen. Ole hyvä.

just finished my first pc build and nothing's on the monitor. ez debug has lights on dram and cpu, but i don't see anything wrong. the only thing i can think of is updating the bios, but the computer isn't even on so i can't.

193 euros, I'm not sure how much lower they are ready to start pricing this.

Yeah.. This is what I purchased.

It advertises 12 threads, but I'm trying to look it up and not seeing the same. I may have to return this.

O, god, I didn't even know that they were different. I just thought some listings were lazy and didn't add the x...

So, my current one is this, a 1600 (I guess not 1600x).

Aside from the cooler, a quick look says the x adds a bit of speed. For a bit more, and no cooler. I don't exactly have money for that. Is it worth it? Should I save a bit more before going? Or is the 1600 enough?

Thanks! So would you say these would work together,

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B06XNRQHG4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&psc=1

And then the 16gb ram too

The ryzen 1600 has 2 cores and 4 more threads for only about $20 more. [$168] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B06XNRQHG4/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1521591522&sr=8-1-spons&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=ryzen+5+1600&psc=1)

Also, get a CX550(2017) instead of that Seasonic one.

You are stretched thin on that budget, even with some first-gen Ryzen parts. Best I could come up with is this combo and it goes over your budget after tax:

Items (3): $199.49, Shipping & handling: $0.00, Estimated tax to be collected: $16.46, Order total: $215.95

I'd get a better CPU (here), a cheaper motherboard, cheaper RAM, add an SSD (I was going to recommend the MX500 but this is cheaper and much faster), cut back on the HDD storage to make up for it, get a better RX 580 (more VRAM), a cheaper PSU, and a PCIe Wi-Fi adapter instead of the USB one.

AMD Ryzen 5 1600 is actually $269.99 CAD if you buy it from Amazon directly.

If you still want to go for the 1600X then go for it.

GTX 1060s and RX 580s are overpriced on both Amazon and eBay whether they're used or not because of Ethereum mining so I would wait for prices to go back down to normal if I were you.

Is there much a difference between the Ryzen 5 and the Ryzen 7? I notice one is significantly cheaper. I was looking at this one.

Yeah, put one of these in my fiance's rig and it seems to run amazing with a GTX 1050 Windufury. While I wait for videocards to deflate in price I may pick up another Ryzen 5 1600 w/ WraithSpire cooler. For the price I'm killing two birds with w/ one stone. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XNRQHG4/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I've got a quick question. How can I get 2933 RAM speed off of this kit, with this CPU and this board. Is there a video that walks me through it? Likewise, would I need beyond a stock cooler or would keeping it at 2933 be ok with the stock cooler.

You can get your parts much cheaper if you order them from other countries of the EU (outside Slovenia).

I would upgrade to an AM4 motherboard; you would have to replace your DDR3 with DDR4, but it will future proof your setup for a while. Also in terms of upgrading CPU I would go with a Ryzen 5 1600, it's price to performance ratio is pretty much unparellelled and you are going to have a great rig.

I would say get:

ASUS Prime B350-Plus

AMD Ryzen 5 1600

Kingston HyperX FURY Black 8GB

https://www.amazon.co.uk/AMD-Ryzen-1600-Desktop-CPU/dp/B06XNRQHG4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1506648205&sr=8-1&keywords=Ryzen+cpu

Would be a lot better options I presume?

These were the items i was looking at:

https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Processor-Wraith-Cooler-YD1600BBAEBOX/dp/B06XNRQHG4/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1506156352&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=ryzen+1600&psc=1


and

So while I've got ya here, here's what I'm looking at getting.

MOBO = https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Motherboard-B350M-GAMING-PRO/dp/B06X3Y7KB5/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1506017338&sr=1-2&keywords=Micro+ATX+AM4

CPU = https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Processor-Wraith-Cooler-YD1600BBAEBOX/dp/B06XNRQHG4/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1506022022&sr=1-3&keywords=Ryzen+5+1600

RAM = https://www.amazon.com/PNY-Anarchy-2133MHz-PC4-17000-Desktop/dp/B012ASF47I/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1506022064&sr=1-1&keywords=pny+ddr4

This leaves me room to upgrade further up the AM4 line in coming years and I can also jump from 16gb to 32gb when I can afford it. I think this is a pretty good upgrade all around and should have me smoking shit with my 1060 6gb.

Than a 7700K??

Look for the Ryzen 5 1600 or 1500X.

/r/hardwareswap might be your best bet for a graphics card. 1060 3GB's are around $200.

Pretty Case

Ryzen is definitely a good call. There is an R5 1600 deal on amazon today, $130 after rebate. Definitely a great deal.

Don't get either of those. Get this.

That's not apples to apples at all. The R5 1600 and 1600x is comparable to the 7600k in performance, not the 7700k. And again, the story is the same.

R5 1600 at 210

and the 7600k at 240

with the 1600x at $230 on sale, base price 266

Ryzen Link
B350 Mainboard Link
DDR4 3000Mhz RAM Link

All together that's 404 pounds. That way you can get a watercooling loop and still be below the preassembled price.

EDIT: I bet if you search around a little you will find even lower prices. From one PCMR-Member to another: Don't go for preassembled stuff. You'll feel proud of your accomplishment when you build it yourself. Trust me .

Oh, I missed the non-K. Still, it's not a good move to go to a platform as old as the one the 3770K is on.

The Ryzen 5 1600 should not cost 250€ in Europe. It's at 200€ in Germany, https://www.amazon.de/AMD-Ryzen-5-1600-Prozessor/dp/B06XNRQHG4, shipping it to anywhere in Europe should not cost 50€. The 1600 is a lot better with regards to price-performance than the 1600X: It is cheaper, can be overclocked to the level of the 1600X, and it even comes with a solid cooler that allows that. And right now it is a better option than Intel, yes. Coffee Lakes release will show whether that stays true, but the upgradability of AM4 will remain regardless.

Should I go with the regular r 1600 or 1600x?

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813157880?Item=N82E16813157880&Tpk=N82E16813157880

Ryzen 1600 should fit her requirements and is $101.

https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Processor-Wraith-Cooler-YD1600BBAEBOX/dp/B06XNRQHG4

​

Try using the app OfferUp and search for parts there. May be able to find very cheap used components.

If you have an old laptop or pc that is any version of windows before windows 10 you may use that device's windows key and you should get window 10 free

You're going to have a tough time hitting 144 FPS with that 2200G. The G means it has an integrated graphics chip, which you don't need since you're also buying a graphics card - but you're still paying a little more for it.

As another user below suggested, consider getting a 1600 instead. Otherwise, the build looks pretty solid.

Where are you buying your parts?

Alright, here you go:

click me you son of a dog

wait dawg newegg has a combo that saves you $15 on top of a $20 rebate

I like the mobo a lot cause that's what I bought

Computer's acting up. A team of scientists cant' solve the issue, and it's about a 5-6 year-old build. I've replaced several parts, can't fix it. I want to build a new machine that doesn't reboot 20 times a day of it's own accord, even from BIOS.

The answer to your question is right within my post. "I've had a LOT of issues with my current computer the past few months and thought I should have an upgrade path planned out if I can't get things in working order again."

How does the https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Processor-Wraith-Cooler-YD1600BBAEBOX/dp/B06XNRQHG4

compare to my i5-2500k?

Also, if this can be sent to France, there's no reason to believe it can't be shipped to its home country, is it ? :)

Pretty shitty.

• Only DDR3 12GB of RAM, DDR4 has been out since 2014.
  
• 1TB harddrive is okay, if it's in good condition.
  
• 760 is pretty outdated but just like the 1050ti and should be upgraded to something a bit better when the craze for mining is gone.
  
• I5 is going old and not too good for gaming. Try this.
  
• The motherboard i'm guessing takes DDR3 and not DDR4 so you should upgrade to the B350 only if you're going for the AMD card!

here's the processor i mentioned above:
https://www.amazon.com/Intel-Desktop-Processor-i7-7700K-BX80677I77700K/dp/B01MXSI216/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1499856273&sr=1-1&keywords=i7+7700k

its $310 and has a processor speed of 4.2 GHz, but again im pretty new to the whole processor/PC building thing so there's probably more to the comparison than i am aware of.

Also i'm not sure if this is the same processor but i found a ryzen 5 1600 on amazon for $200, as compared to the $295 one listed on PCpartPicker link below:
https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Processor-Wraith-Cooler-YD1600BBAEBOX/dp/B06XNRQHG4/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1499856568&sr=1-1&keywords=AMD+-+Ryzen+5+1600+3.2GHz+6-Core+Processor

Whoops! My bad. I accidentally grabbed a 1500 and not a 1600. Good catch! On the amazon page here for the 1600, though, it does come with the Wraith Spire Cooler, so we're all good.

Amazon

I would suggest to use US version for the time being and put a budget, to say, $550. UK prices are incomplete and many are broken so you can get something way better. Here's what I mean:

In fact... I really can't say anything wrong about this build and would seriously recommend it.

Not bad fam.

But I don't think you'll be happy with that Ryzen 3, See if you can get a Ryzen 5

https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Processor-Wraith-Cooler-YD1600BBAEBOX/dp/B06XNRQHG4

It'll cost you an extra 20, but it'll be wildly better than the Ryzen 3.

And if you can afford an extra 40

https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Ryzen-Processor-Wraith-Cooler/dp/B07B428V2L/

I use the Ryzen 5 2600x and I love it.

Strange board, but it appears to be a Dell X370 OEM. This means you can most likely upgrade with any 1st gen Ryzen CPU. 2nd gen may be possible too, if Dell released a BIOS update for that board, but can't say for sure with a non-consumer board like that.

I would recommend going with the Ryzen 5 1600 not only for compatibility reasons, but also because it's an excellent price right now compared to the 2600.

Ryzen 1600 is on sale for a great price right now.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XNRQHG4

And then any B350 or B450 motherboard would be good to pair it with.
https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Gaming-B350-Motherboard-TOMAHAWK/dp/B06WVFFXXL

Then you just need DDR4 ram.

​

Would I be doing anything wrong? this setup would definitely achieve 144fps or close to at high settings right?

The R7 1700 is the better buy for the reason its:

1. hyper threaded octo core, important in world where greater core counts are becoming common place and better suported/ uterlised.
   
2. On a socket that won't be obsolete in 18 months (L1151).
   
3. guaranteed to remain viable as a gaming/ genral use cpu for far longer because of reason 1.
   
   Besides R7's Can be found for less than $200 these days and when ryzen 2 releases next quarter they'll be even cheaper.
   
   If the R7 is out of budget the R5 1600 comes in cheaper for a slight loss in multi core performance.
   https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XNRQHG4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_AlO6BbVRQZAF4
   $130

Not to mention there's actually a R5 1600 for 129.00 right now on Amazon:

https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B06XNRQHG4?th=1&psc=1&sa-no-redirect=1

OP pretty much this except get the Ryzen 5 1600 for $10 more

4C\8T CPUs are still enough and shouldn't bottleneck a 1070 but games are moving towards 6 physical cores as the norm. Consider getting a 1600, it's only $10 more in the states:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XNRQHG4/?tag=pcpapi-20

For entry level/mid, probably the Ryzen 5 1600. I've been able to find it regularly for around ~$120USD

r5 1600 does come with stock cooler.

https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Processor-Wraith-Cooler-YD1600BBAEBOX/dp/B06XNRQHG4

so save money on cpu cooler and get 1080 with the saved money.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/AMD-Ryzen-1600-Desktop-CPU/dp/B06XNRQHG4

This one?

$200 is it's usual price these days.

Amazon has plenty

https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Processor-Wraith-Cooler-YD1600BBAEBOX/dp/B06XNRQHG4/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1501074859&sr=1-2&keywords=Ryzen

If I got that would that make a huge difference or should I just keep saving up for the 400-500 ones?

Yes this morning it did go down but now is back up. I am in AMD not for short term profit. You are only looking at how AMD performs in a single day. I am in it for the long run.

AMD company itself has great management. Dr. Lisa Su was selected as 2017 Fortune's World’s Greatest Leaders. AMD also bought in AR and VR companies. AR and VR is the future. AMD's recently released products all have excellent reviews. They also come with great price, much cheaper then Intel. Ryzen R5 1600 sold out at Amazon
https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Processor-Wraith-Cooler-YD1600BBAEBOX/dp/B06XNRQHG4/ref=zg_bs_229189_20?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=VVGZMG3TWXS7KDN8V8T8

I don't care if the stock price of a company that I invested goes down in a day or a week. Also the movement of the price of a stock in a short term period doesnt represent the performance of the company. The price of a stock can change for other reasons that are not related to the business. For example: the price of a stock can down if large institution investors pull out their funds because they want to capture bigger gain at other stocks. What I care about is how AMD will perform in the next five years. With the new release of Vega, Ryzen 7 and Ryzen 5, and Naple. I think AMD will be a great investment :)

Cheers

Okay I had a look at the ryzen and I see your point it looks good, but what mother board would i then have to get if I'm getting https://www.amazon.co.uk/AMD-Ryzen-1600-Desktop-CPU/dp/B06XNRQHG4/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1495128113&sr=8-3&keywords=ryzen+5+1600 ?

The motherboard looks good but I wouldn't get that CPU. You really need more than 4 cores these days.

This is my suggestion, R5 1600.

I tried to find RAM at amazon.fr but they seem to be sold out of everything good. I would suggest looking for something that's DDR4, 2x8GB, 3000 MHz. Bacon_jews linked a good one above if you don't mind ordering from a different site.

It's $117 on Amazon. That's not bad. You think it's a better choice?

EDIT: I think you added "Even that's way better" after I replied

Okay, I'll probably change that. I wish the price was going the other way though!

what frame rate? https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Processor-Wraith-Cooler-YD1600BBAEBOX/dp/B06XNRQHG4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1510453525&sr=8-1&keywords=r5+1600

the 1060 3gb is more powerful, but if youre going anything past 1080p OR playing games with high quality textures the 3gb wont cut it and you will get stutter and you will need to drop the settings.

You could get the rx 570.

And the ryzen chips are currently on sale in on amazon right now.

The 1600 is only £136 on amazon right now, and I would highly recommend picking it up, even if it doesnt fit your budget very well:

If you have/will have use for the extra threads, otherwise stick with the R6 1600, it's going for 190 on Amazon and NewEgg

Price check on the following parts

Zotac 1070 this one

Asus prime x370-pro motherboard this one

Ryzen 1600 this one

Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB 3200MHz C16 white this one

not really sure of the prices and want to make a post in the upcoming days, thank you!

So for about $250 I could get these, right?: (using amazon for quick search)

Amazon link

oh wait, I think this comes with a stock cooler? So i should have to do anything with paste i guess...

Or a return from Amazon with a new sealed old Pentium chip as a replacement for the 1600. Not bad for a maximum priced 1600 at $225.
