1080p gaming 1400 vs 1600

[_domdaly_]

For 1080p gaming 60fps.
Should I get the r5 1400 or r5 1600 for 1080p 60fps

My rig would be:
Ryzen 5 1400/1600
16 gb ddr4
Sapphire r9 290

1600 by a long stretch if you want to drop the chip in & just play.
That extra $50 gets you 2 extra cores,4 extra threads, a better cooler & faster base/boost clocks.

I'd fight as hard as possible for the R5-1600, it gives much better performance, more cores, and clocks higher...; sell a few pints of plasma!

If you plan to get Ryzen, try really, I mean really, hard in your pocket to reach at least 1600.
The best bang for buck for home usage by Ryzen starts from 1600 in my opinion.
