[SOLVED] Intel or amd

[Daniel_571]

Hello, I'm planning to upgrade my computer and need a advice I go Intel or stay AMD. So to help me best here about me now I Asus m88x plus ; AMD A10-7890k ; Colorful 1050Ti 4gb ; 8gb Crucial 1600mgz. So basically I don't want to spend more than 300€, don't need the top high level, more middle. I play more online games and until now no problem running. The new Fallout 76 desired to play I'm thinking about Ryzen 5 1600x or Ryzen 5 2600. For Intel don't have ideas. I have been whit amd from 2000 year. First I was using only my CPU+Video than I buy video card, I like to upgrade. I need Cpu Motherboard and ddr4 Ram no more 300-350€

Depends on your expectations. I had an x4 760k and upgraded to a Ryzen 5 1600, and it's certainly the biggest difference I've felt in a long time.

I wouldn't really bother with the 1600X personally. If your budget can accommodate a 2600 that would be good, though I suspect it's the price of RAM which will be the biggest issue. 8GB is getting to be on the low side now.

Perhaps something along the lines of the following:

Can always upgrade the graphics card later if you want to.

If the you do not need top end then the Ryzen's cannot be beaten. The 1600's are at a really, really good price and the 2600 would make a great foundation that can be upgraded, especially with the B450 motherboards..

The Ryzen 2600 is a step up from the 1600 and if you can get that, that would be even better. On the memory side, try to get the fastest RAM for your money as Ryzen likes fast RAM and actully makes use of it....something like DDR4 3000 or 3200

Not entirely sure what you mean with reference to RAM. It's often mentioned not to mix and match RAM. So if you wanted to increase your RAM, you'd be removing what is there and replacing with a whole new set ideally. And as vMax suggests, the faster the RAM the better for Ryzen. Again, on the current budget it may be difficult as I mentioned earlier.

If you want to do more heavy overclocking then an X470 motherboard is recommended; certainly one with good VRMs which can handle the increased power load. Define your needs.
