    So i built my gaming rig myself about 2 years ago now and its never had a real issue apart from recently... Every time i play a new game i set up my preferred balance of graphic quality and fps so when i go back to a game i can just jump straight in and play. but last week i noticed that all...

    Ah okay thanks for that answer, because its a stock feature does that mean it will just do it by itself?

    Is 450watt enough for gtx 1070 and i5 8400

    Bit slow on the reply but i would say 450w is enough but its pushing it i would suggest 550w at least 80+ bronze rated, i have the same set up a 1070 asus strix and an i5 8400 but i have a lot of LED fans in my case too and i chose 550w so i can upgrade in the future

    Which should i buy? i5 8400 z370 for ( $400) or my friend's used R7 1700 X370 for ($450)?

    Yeah thats true but bare in mind intel always has much faster single core performance than the ryzen so when your looking at a game thats hungry for 8 cores the i5 will still be better as its faster single core performance than say the ryzen7 8core, i currently play Pubg which core hungry and...

    Which should i buy? i5 8400 z370 for ( $400) or my friend's used R7 1700 X370 for ($450)?

    I agree with you there but he stated he mainly games thats why i suggested the i5 8400 as it beats every ryzen up to ryzen 7 2700x in gaming but most ryzens beat the i5 8400 in rendering and other things, yes it does depend on GPU, i currently have a 1070 8gb and i only game on my pc and it does...

    The i5 8400 beats the r7 1700 in gaming, in fact it beats all ryzen 3s and 5s and some 7s so if your mainly just gaming then the i5 8400 is your best bet, yes it says its only 2.8Ghz but it auto turbos to 3.8GHz 90% of the time

    Will this build be enough for gaming

    Yeah i was thinking of going for 16gb ram but i cant go over £900 but my motherboard supports up to 32gb so can always upgrade when i have a spare £90, so do you think this build is a solid build for gaming then?
