Hello, guys.

Below is my build:

GRAPHICS CARD: ASUS STRIX GTX1060 6G GAMING *currently chosen graphics card*
RAM: Geil EVO RGB X 16GB 2400MHZ DDR4 Dual Channel
CPU: INTEL CORE I7-7700 (3.6GHZ) (4 CORES | 8 THREADS)
CASE: Redline Series RL05
MOTHERBOARD: ASUS STRIX B250F GAMING

Tell me, with this build, what better results can I get at gaming, VFX, and etc? And most importantly are these components compatible with eachother, and will run fine with no issues?

Thank you.
 
Solution
H270F have better features i'm sure.

About the K CPU and Z motherboard, i think not. But in the future, you can OC it and give a extra boost performance and keep for more time before upgrading.
Looks nice, but i highly recommend a K processor and Z motherboard for future overclocking, with that, you will need a CPU Cooler.

Also, check Ryzen, maybe it will do the job for cheap price for Photo/Video Editing or Graphic Design.
 
Hi, lucas. Thanks for your answer.

Do you really think I need the K processor, and the motherboard Z?

Hm..

By the way, which motherboard is better?

ASUS STRIX B250F GAMING OR ASUS STRIX H270F GAMING?
 
Thank you for the answer. I have few last questions, and I am done with my build.

Do you think the PSU Thermaltake Smart SE 630W will support this build of mine?

GRAPHICS CARD: ASUS STRIX GTX1060 6G GAMING *currently chosen graphics card*
RAM: Geil EVO RGB X 16GB 2400MHZ DDR4 Dual Channel
CPU: INTEL CORE I7-7700 (3.6GHZ) (4 CORES | 8 THREADS)
CASE: Redline Series RL05
MOTHERBOARD: ASUS STRIX H270F GAMING
 
Hi,
in order to find out if the parts are compatible, you should do 2 things,
a) put it into PcPartPicker. This is the easiest way, however it is not perfect.
b) After doing that I generally follow the steps on this video, but only if I am quite sure I want this build (it can take up to an hour to do)

If you are doing video editing VFX, photo editing or anything else like that, you want Ryzen. Getting a R7 1700 would double your cores and threads, and supports overclocking without an expensive chipset!

Your bottleneck for gaming in this build will be your GPU, and the 1060 6gb is good for Ultra @60fps @1080p

Hope this helps!
 
@Lehan, thank you for your answer.

What do you mean GTX 1060 6GB is good at 60FPS at 1080p? I heard from someone just now, that it would run at 1920x1080 on ultra setings. I don't know if this is dumb, I don't know much literally about all this. This could be the dumbest question though. But I appreciate your help, really much.
 


You just mentioned psus with far different quality/performance to each other. EVGA has some crap PSUS and some great ones, please specify. Seasonic has some okay and some very great units, again, specify please. Corsair RMX very good unit, CXM not very good but still good and better than alot of Seasonics lower budget units.
 


No problem (it isn't really a dumb question, I was just a bit ambiguous) the 1060 6gb is perfect for running most games at ultra at 1080p, while keeping a solid 60FPS
 


Thank you, then.

I just read the comparison here: http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-7700-vs-AMD-Ryzen-7-1700/3887vs3917

So, as I prefer gaming, as well as workstation more, I'd go with R7 1700, then, since i7 7700 is slightly, a little better than R7 1700 at gaming, and desktop, it'd be better to choose what I want more.

My final question is, the following build (will be compatible with R7 1700)?

GRAPHICS CARD: ASUS STRIX GTX1060 6G GAMING *currently chosen graphics card*
RAM: Geil EVO RGB X 16GB 2400MHZ DDR4 Dual Channel
CASE: Redline Series RL05
MOTHERBOARD: ASUS STRIX H270F GAMING

Also, is R7 1700 reliable?...

Thank you so much.
 


Please answer my question, thank you. ^
 


R7 1700 is a good CPU, and is fine in terms of reliability. You just need to change out your motherboard and your good to go! Almost any cheap B350 motherboard will do and all B350 motherboards support overclocking! Just consult PCPP (pcpartpicker) for compatibility and after that the compatibility check video I sent you and you will be fine!
 


Hey. Don't you think ASUS STRIX H270F supports overclocking? Hm..

Thanks for your answer.

Does ASUS TUF Z270 MARK 2 support Ryzen 7 1700, and its overclocking then?
