Has AMD threw a spanner in the worx

[tec123]

Hi just as ive picked my perfect part list, everyone of my friends is now saying i should get the Ryzen 5, Ive had a look but dont know what one i would get and if my parts would need changing

The computer is mainly being used for Photoshop, Coding, Programming, Basic Video Editing(Maybe Never just incase), Dual Monitors, and very basic gaming!

Just want to be able to code, design, and play music at the same time, also play Runescape (That i think is mainly CPU based)

This is my current list

You're fine from aria mate , much of a muchness price wise & at least you get everything together .

2 niggles

1 - the ram is fine but it'll only run at 2400mhz - limitation of the b250 board chipset.

2 - I'd use a better PSU, the evga is OK but mediocre quality.That cx450m from ebuyer for £16 Moreno's just boundless amounts better mate , I know you'll probably have to wait abcouplemof days extra for it but its worth it

Arias PSU selection is pretty poor & the decent ones are overpriced.

Here mate , still average quality but better than the evga & only £6 more.

Better?

 

[madmatt30]

The ram - either of them are fine mate

You can use 3000mhz ram - it will just run at 2400 is all on that board

I spose for the paltry £1 extra it is its probably worth buying anyway - who knows you may upgrade down the line to a board that supports the full speed.

The annoying thing is 6 weeks ago amazon were doing 16gb kits of ballistix sport for £70!!

I bought a couple of kits , wished I'd bought more at the time .

How would a AMD FX build performrice against a Pentium G4560 build?

 

[madmatt30]

The 6300 always has & always will be one of my favourite amd chips.

The issue is its going to be weaker than the pentium for runescape , its a dead platform now & its more expensive than the pentium, a decent board will also cist £10-15 more than an Intel board.

Yes its better for heavy multitasking or rendering but that's not you're requested use.

 

[tec123]

FX 6350 is that better than a i5?,

I just want to make sure the pentium is going to do everything i want, I dont mind spending abit more if itll run everything i want, Video editing, and Photoshop Dreamweaver Itunes Youtube

 

[madmatt30]

No a 6350 isn't better than a current i5 mate , also the 6350 has never ever been worth the extra £15 or so over the 6300.

Im thinking about going with the G4560 but dropping the GFX card, and getting that at a later day so takes cost down to 250 how does that sound
