Question CPU for this setup! Ryzen or Intel? Why?

[elpajarointernacional]

Hi guys, ive posted some time ago about a GPU to choose, i already bought an RX 570 8gb and some other things, so my new setup is:

-A10 7870k
-2x4gb 1600mhz CL11 DDR3
-Asrock FM2a68m-hd+
-Asrock RX 570 8gb
-EVGA 600w Bronze
-Toshiba 1tb HDD
-Thermaltake H21
-Asus Xonar DSX 7.1

So, the questions im bringing to you are:

-What CPU do u think i need for this setup?
-Can u recommend any Mobo and Ram too please?

Just gaming? Or planning on streaming? Or other tasks?

I'd probably go with a ryzen 5 for gaming, if looking for bang for your buck. Or an Intel I5 9600k for best performance, again gaming only. If planning on streaming and other multithreaded tasks, I'd definitely go ryzen 7.

Yes, gaming most of the time! thank you for the advice...

Can you list out your budget for ram+cpu+mobo?

I also recommend trying to fit an ssd into your budget as well. I switched recently and won't look back!! Like Nomercy said state your budget, and people will throw a pcpartpicker build up for you.

Thank you all guys! sorry, but i didnt post my budget because i live in Argentina and here the prices are very changing, i would say that here prices are maybe 25% to 30% more than USA, so i want to spend no more than $500 here, that would be $350 to $400 for you...

Hmm. You'd have better luck searching there, I looked at army tech and a few others and your local pricing is considerably different. A Ryzen 5 2600 at one pc store was US$258 my price. You will have better luck probably looking in classified adds etc maybe getting a slightly used Ryzen 5 1600 or 2600 on sale. I'm at a disadvantage not being able to read Portuguese.

Ill reccomend 2600 cuz there is no big price difference between 1600 and 2600

If you wait about 1 month, the prices will be going down in your country, I am sure. AMD has just slashed their prices in America and the ripple effect will reach you.

I'm running:
CPU: i5 6402p
MBO: msi h110m
RAM: 8gb ddr4 kingston (single channel)
GPU: gtx 1060 (3gb)

Been wanting to upgrade on something like ryzen 2600x or 1700.
Will use it for streaming and gaming. I saw ppl advising 1700 for more cores if you need it for streaming. Anyone around here stream and play with one of these ryzens? Is there any effect on gaming (fps drop, stuttering, awkwardness..)

I'm using Nvenc to stream atm.. (gpu encoding) and it's cool, but I know cpu encoding would be better graphic wise. Just wondering how much impact it would have on actual gaming while streaming. Cause when using gpu as encoder, impact is minimum..

Thx.
