[SOLVED] Intel or AMD?

[jq84]

I want to build my first gaming pc and Iam confused in Ryzen 2700x or i7 8700k? And I also want to ask, internet speed in my area is slow, So i've to run pc for consecutive 2 to 3 days for downloading Games. If i go with 2700x does it make any fault? Or intel integrated graphics worth? Or iam very confuse in gtx 1080 ti or rtx 2060 does rtx worth to buy?

Intel integrated graphics are very weak. AMD integrated graphics are better. But, if you are going to build a gaming computer, you want a dedicated graphics card ... the best that is within your budget. Actually, depending on your budget, I would scale back on the CPU a bit. The majority of games utilize the GPU far more than the CPU, but naturally there are exceptions. Get a list of games you are interested and look for reviews that use those games for benchmarking.

So, step 1 ... determine a budget.
Step 2 ... get a list of all the stuff you need (case, PSU, drives, memory, windows, etc) and price those items.
Step 3 ... with what's left pick a GPU and CPU ... price wise I would do CPU price/GPU price ratio of 30/60 plus or minus

The 8700k would be a better”gaming” cpu with better performance. The 2700x is a good cpu and a little bit less money. If you want to spend a little more and get better performance the 8700k is a good option

Both CPUs are grossly overpowered just for gaming,for intel the sweetspot is at i3-8350k if you prefer to have overclock because you play more simulators,strategy or what have you that needs clocks and/or the i5-8400 if you are more worried about games in the future needing more cores/threads (they won't)

RTX 2060 is very close in performance to 1080ti but much cheaper. Also you get RTX. It's totally worth getting. Get the 8700k, or 8600k, or 8400 if you want to save some money but 8700k does give slightly more FPS especially in 1080p resolution.

I can't imagine anyone intentionally choosing a 4c/4t cpu for any gaming system in 2018, much less this year, frankly.....(other than if making a misinformed mistake, for example)

Certainly, no one trying to achieve 144 fps in the newest games will say all CPUs are grossly overpowered...

Ryzen is priced nicely, but, I'd still go 8700K over the 2700X if it were my money being spent...and most especially if planning on a 144 Hz monitor...(which for gaming will require a beefy GPU anyway)

The 2060 matches the 1070 Ti almost exactly, but not the 1080 Ti....(alas!)

The i3-8350k at stock is just ~12% behind the 2700x (or for that matter the 8400, I also mentioned)and the i3 has another 25% of overclocking...if you look at the list of games those are the most multithreaded games available.
You have to really live the hype to believe that 4 (good) cores aren't enough today.
