[SOLVED] Is this Ryzen the right one for gaming and what do you think of this build

[florianwahl2]

I want to build a low budget RGB gaming PC but i also want to render sometimes.

Ryzen 7 1700
Gskill Trident Z RGB
AsRock B450 (cheapest mainboard with rgb headers and for ryzen i could find)
Shakoon TG5 RGB
Sapphire Rx580 4GB (allready have it)
530W PSU


is the ryzen 7 1700 the best for Gaming and can i OC it on the boxed cooler? Or would a other ryzen be better for gaming with less cores and better single-core performance?

A 2600x would game a lot better and be in the same area rendering wise. If it's 50/50 gaming if probably go 2600x

 

[Supahos]

The 2600x is aroun 10-15%. Better gaming 15-20% worse editing.

is there a cheaper alternative? its a bit out of my budget

 

[Supahos]

A 2600 non x can be oced above 1700 gaming performance on the stock cooler. Usually the 1700 and 2600x are the same price but I'm not sure of prices outside of the USA

 

[florianwahl2]

here in germany its 40€ ($45) above the 1700

 

[florianwahl2]

so ryzen 5 2600 would be better for gaming right?

 

[drivinfast247]

Yes.

My R5 2600 would be perfect, haven't found anything it cant handle, even when not overclocked.
