[SOLVED] desktop configuration dilemma

[lkappvc]

I'm buying a new desktop, and these are 2 options I can afford, but can't decide which one is better for gaming: i3 9100F 3.6GHz and AMD Radeon RX 560 or AMD Ryzen 3 1200 and AMD Radeon RX 570? So if someone can help me, I would be grateful.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

A computer is comprised of more than just a processor and a GPU. In fact it needs other reliably built components to help it provide a consistent output when taxed.

Please list your proposed build specs like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:

we can then start to give advice's and suggestions. If you recycling parts from an older build, state their age.

Motherboard: AM4 A320, 2x dimm ddr4/sata 3/glan/audio 7.1/usb 3
Ram: 8 GB ddr4
SSD/HDD: SSD 240 GB sata 3/ 2.5
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 570
PSU: 500W
Chassis: Mid Tower
OS: /

OPTION 2:

This is info given on websites I'm planing to buy from. All components are new.
Thank you so much for helping me.

Neither does look really appealing, Can't find a used system with better specs? Going by a solid seller which doesn't sell bodged systems.

Does the Ryzen system have dualchannel ram?!

The Intel cpu is the better one where the RX 570 is the better gpu. Think that in several games the 1200 will bottleneck the RX 570,but for upgrade reasons this system would be a better choice. Mean getting a Ryzen 2600 in for a decent amount of money (look at used).


What budget do you have and any hesitation to build your own system? What country are you from? If you want to persue this angle.

Out of those two options, for gaming, the RX 570 / Ryzen 1200 system would likely be the better choice. The 9100F CPU is a bit faster than than the 1200, but the RX 570 is a lot faster than an RX 560 (about twice as fast), and in most modern games that will tend to make more of a difference.

I agree that it might be worth shopping around to see what else is available though.
