Question Is this a decent PC build for 1080p.

[Shamba]

Upgrading my PC soon and I was using Ryzen before. But I want to use Intel again, so is this system alright? Are there any suggestions you would make? Roughly the same budget.

GPU: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2060 6 GB OC
CPU: Intel Core i5-9600k (stock, i have no interest in oc)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 RGB Black Edition
RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury 16GB (2x8 @ 2400MHz)
HDD 1: Toshiba 1 TB 3.5 7200RPM
HDD 2: Seagate BarraCuda 1TB 3.5 7200RPM
M.2: Samsung 970 Evo 500GB
PSU: Corsair CXSM 550w
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-B365M-H MicroATX

What do you have now? Why the move back to Intel? Performance between Ryzen and Core is fairly even in games. I wouldn't spend hundreds of dollars just to get similar performance.

Old cpu would chose something more recent. Look at i5 11400 for instance or wait for i5 12400.

Agree with above. Why Intel? What Ryzen is used now?

Current is Ryzen 5 1600 with the Prime A320m-k motherboard. So i can't oc the CPU and i'm starting to reach some crazy bottlenecks in some games. Also, here in the UK (all sellers that i looked at) the next upgrade would be a Ryzen 5 3600 which is actually more expensive currently then buying the motherboard, CPU, and Cooler.

 

[Shamba]

TL;DR i would stick with Ryzen, but atm it's crazy expensive compared to swapping to intel. (at least here)

 

[Vic 40]

You're using the one stick of ram in that build with this cpu? The Ryzen 1600.

Get that Intel might be better, the Ryzen 1600 isn't great, but get at least the 11400(f) or wait until Socket 1700 brings the 12400 to the table.

 

[Shamba]

No i'm using two 8gb sticks @ 2400MHz. So dual channel. Here is my current setup.

RTX 2060
Ryzen 5 1600
Asus Prime A320M-K
16gb hyperx fury (2x8 @ 2400Mhz)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't have much of an upgrade path with my current build. Where I live (UK) the prices are much higher for some reason compared to intel. The CPU, cooler, and motherboard cost less than a Ryzen 5 3600 for me. If I wanted to get a similar amount of upgrades I would actually have to spend quite a bit more with Ryzen.

Going back from 12 threads to 6 threads is not a good move. Agree with the others: get an Intel i5-11400 or a Ryzen 3600.
You also need faster RAM because 2400 MT/s is pretty slow for Intel 11th gen and Zen 2.

 

[Shamba]

Is the stock cooler with the Intel i5-11400 good enough? I don't intend to overclock at all and ofc if i decide in the future i can buy it then and there.

 

[Shamba]

nvm i can't overclock it so i dont need to worry. Should I get Intel i5-11400 or Intel i5-11400F? is the only difference onboard graphics?

 

[Shamba]

So does this look a little better? https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/n8ypxc I can upgrade the ram in the future.

 

[mdd1963]

Even an A320 is likely compatible with at least a 3600 or 3600X with a semi-recent BIOS...

Might not defeat the 9600K in peak or even average FPS, but, I bet the .1% and 1% lows are better with Ryzen compared to 9600K's just 6 cores/threads.

If you have the money for all new mainboard and CPU, start shopping at 12600K...

I run my RAM with 2666MHz speed because of my motherboard, but I don't feel anything slow in my computer to be honest. PC is still very fast. I think difference in performance is very small when it comes to RAM speed.

Personally would i get a better motherboard like one of these,

Not too worried about the ram right now.
