A better graphics card or a better processor?

[milossredojevic2802]

So I can either get:

Ryzen 7 1800X paired with an Asus ROG Strix GTX 1060 06G

or

Ryzen 5 1600x paired with an Asus Dual GTX 1070 08G.

I really can't decide.I kinda want to have a 60% gaming and a 40% content creation PC.
I am aware that if i go with the ryzen 5 option,it will be better for gaming,but at the same time I guess the ryzen 7 will do a lot better rendering and editing,and the gtx 1060 will still do the job.

If you have 1080p monitor, go for first option. Otherwise might be tough call.

I have an asus 1920x1080 27 inch monitor which i bought for 300 bucks.It's an awesome monitor,but how does this monitor relate to the decision of which of those 2 options I should take?

 

[DRagor]

Because on 1080p monitor in most games you will not feel any difference between 1060 and better card.

 

[milossredojevic2802]

Well,idk I will be playing games like PUBG,League of legends,I will probably stream on twitch or youtube,what do you think is the best?

Pretty easy for me, GTX-1070, if gaming is the main reazon of existence of the pc.

 

[milossredojevic2802]

Yeah,but will the ryzen 5 perform as good as ryzen 7?

once they are both overclocked, yes

PUBG does not do well with either so they will behave the same


i7 8700k + gtx 1060 would be ideal since you value gaming more


it is also superior in every metric especially once overclocked as ryzen has poor OC overhead in comparison

 

[milossredojevic2802]

Well as much as i've read the Ryzens are ideal for mix od gaming,rendering,editing etc.

no, ryzen is a price compromise

the i7 8700k is the ideal
