[SOLVED] Intel i5 8400 or AMD Ryzen 5 2600

[akcultxunion]

Hi everyone , First at all sorry for my bad English I hope you will understand me.
I want to build brand new PC for Internet using ( Mozila ) and some programs like Microsoft Office.
So I have two configuration in mind:

Intel i5 8400
Gigabyte Z370-HD3 LGA1151 DDR4 4000MHz
Kingston 8GB DDR4 3200Mhz
SSD Kingston A400 Series 120GB
I will use this configuration without graphic card.

Total: Around 460 Euro

OR

AMD Ryzen 5 2600 or 1600X
MSI B450 GAMING PLUS RYZEN DDR4-3466+
Gigabyte PCX GeForce GTX 1050 OC 2GB GDDR5
Kingston 8GB DDR4 3200Mhz
SSD Kingston A400 Series 120GB

Total : Around 515 Euro


So I want to open in mozila 25-40 tabs and I want to work it without any problem.
Can you help me please about this ?
Or you have in mind a better configuration for my needs.
Every answer is welcome!
Thanks guys!

The AMD setup is the better rig no question. Though you should definitely get more storage - 120GB won't get you very far these days.

No, not for competitive gaming

For your needs I’d choose the cheaper of the 2 and upgrade to 16gb RAM. 25-40 tabs will eat RAM and the cpu choice is far less important.

The former is an i5-8400 with NO GPU. The latter is a very capable CPU with a decent low end GPU. How is that not better?

I prefer:
Intel i5 8400
MSI B360 Gaming Plus (You're wasting your budget by going to Z370 because the CPU can't be overclocked)
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB 2666 (RAM speed doesn't really affect basic usage)
As for SSD choose whatever you want

That kind of basic task that you mention actually just require a big RAM, even core i3 8100 will do the job nicely.

An i3 will be sufficient for given tasks. Dont waste ur money on i5 , expensive mobo or ryzen. Better spend it on more ssd storage and RAM.
