CPU and GPU combo for 144fps+ on league overwatch and cs go.

[Budget_pc]

It's my first time building a pc and need some budget-ish tips for components that will let me play less demanding games like league of legends cs go and overwatch on a stable fps without stutters . If possible let me know cheeper options that give about the same enjoyment. 1080p ofcourse

Intel option... some say the intel are better for gaming.

I would personally go for the Ryzen as its probably best bet for the future.

RX 580 and he doesn't need 16 gigs of RAM ,Games need 8 you get like 5 or 6 FPS by adding an extra 8 gigs waste of money and you don't need much faster than 2400 ,2133 Is fine in my opinion

He does for CSGO as the game loves RAM and loading the maps fully into RAM. While 8GB's does meet requirements it has some hard effects on a few games. Games that have to deal with on the fly compression causes a good deal of FPS min. I suffered this at only 8GB's and upgraded to 24GB's. It made the game run smooth from that point on. Speed depends on what cpu. For ryzen its a 9ms differance which does slow game perforance.

If you don't believe me ,watch this and this guy knows what he is talking about https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKIavpEQQGg and CSGO doesn't stress a system as much of these games

 

[elbert]

The video doesn't have CSGO also its 16GB test is a 4 DIMM that would cause performance differances in itself. Also it states Ryzen wasn't out so really doesn't mean anything on that rig. Understand first CSGO works off a compressed pak files so compress tests of RAM is important.

CSGO maps tend to be few hundred MB's but loading everything for a map also includes stock textures, models, sounds, and effects. Some maps may result in 2GB's total. This not counting what the game engine nor OS requires. You dont want your game having to uncompress a lot during game play.

 

[FullmetalJacket]

Cs go is based on one valves older engines It really doesn't stress the system at all ,But if you wanna still be right after seeing legitimate benchmarks,So be it ,Ignore fact

 

[elbert]

CSGO is based on an ever evolving engine that this summer is getting 8 core support. I seen no legitimate benchmarks for CSGO. I would even question the RAM tests for other games as it wasn't done with 2 sticks for 16GB vs 2 sticks for 8GB. There is plenty of issues with using 4 sticks on dual channel to negate higher amounts of RAM. Now in every test you cant ignore the performance did increase with 16GB's. That being on fresh test bed is best case for lower RAM. An average system with a lot installed would way heavy on the lower 8GB's. Now one thing for sure is the number of people coming here for help with huge fps drops with only 8GB's of RAM.

I'm getting 120/30 fps on most games with a Geforce 1070 and weak 9590 and 2133 DDR 3 2133mhz ,No issues at all

 

[FullmetalJacket]

Its still and old platform just because its gets revisions doesn't mean Ram is going to make a huge difference and with 2 ,4 or 8 core optimized games..........And it if becomes a problem later you just buy 2 more sticks ,They will only drop in price because the ram prices inflated at the moment

 

[Slumy__57]

Well I'm going to more or less ignore everything that's already been posted, considering the OP hasn't given a budget yet, and I don't typically think $800 when I think budget. So, OP, what is your budget for this build? Neither of the games you posted are very demanding, are there any other games you are gearing this system towards?

And while 16 gigs of ram wouldn't been necessary for either of these builds, it is a good idea to opt for 16 gigs when doing a new build. This provides an easier upgrade path for the future. People said the exact same thing about 8 gigs of ram a few years ago: "Oh games today only use 4 gigs of ram, you'll never need more than that, 8 would just be overkill." Things progressively need more memory, both RAM and VRAM. And as long as you will likely be sticking to the same CPU architecture, it's not a bad idea to "future proof" when it comes to RAM.

I have a R9 280, 24GB's of RAM, and T960 old thuban and my FPS never drops below 90 on CSGO. Cant tell you how many come with 1060~1080's, i5's, but only 8GB RAM with drops down to 30~40fps. If your ok with stuttering and large fps drops build an unbalanced system. I wouldn't suggest any GPU higher than a rx470 with AMD's old CPUs. Now Ryzen can performance to push highend GPU's but still needs a balanced system.

 

[FullmetalJacket]

When are ever going to use 24 gigs of ram do you work Disney lightworks or do cad or something.

 

[elbert]

I make CSGO maps, models for my maps in blender, and photoshop for custom textures. CSGO is mostly what I play.
