    I7-7700K or Ryzen 1700X ?

    If you mean i7-8700k (it's over my budget), and 8600k isn't available in my country. The 4790 works good but I want to upgrade my RAM and motherboard (supports 4th,5th generation and DDR3 ), that's why i want to get a new CPU too

    I7-7700K or Ryzen 1700X ?

    Hi everyone, I will be upgrading my CPU soon (I7-4790), and I am not sure which one of those I should get. Most of the PC usage is for gaming. Which one will do better ? (Also good for future proof) Note: Not going to Overclock anything.

    Is it bizarre to have 3x4Gb memory instead of 4x4 ?

    So even if it's the same model , speed , type it could go slow or not even work. Guess I will just save up a little bit and buy 2x8g. Thanks for the help.

    My motherboard is kind of old (supports ddr3 memory), and I have 2x4gb HyperX fury and wanted to buy one more RAM (same type). Is it okay if I have 3x4GB ram (12gb total), because I only heard of systems having 2-4-8-16-32 GB ram and not 12 Motherboard : Gigabyte G1.Sniper Z97

    AMD Ryzen 1500X or 1600 for gaming ?

    I think I will take everyone's advice and get a new board instead, since replacing everything would take me a while to get that kind of budget. I am using Gigabyte Z97 and it's been 4 years since I bought it (guess RMA is out of the option) Last thing, do the new Motherboards support ddr3...

    AMD Ryzen 1500X or 1600 for gaming ?

    Yea I just use it for gaming and I never overclock anything and there is no heating issues (if u consider Rx 480 reaching 85c is normal) Should I apply thermal paste on the CPU as well ? Am not really good with that stuff so I never did it
