Does anyone know a motherboard with that supports i5 7600k gtx 1050ti DDR4 ram ATX size and includes a wifi chip under $120 Please.
 
If the P.C is for straight gaming stay away from Ryzen. You simply can't beat the aggressive single thread performance from Intel.

Any Z270 mobo with a decent VRM setup will do. Just find one with WiFi. Even if you can't find one with WiFi the add-on cards are fairly cheap.
 
1. Be aware that everything under $120 will give you a substandard sound solution...ALC887, ALC892 or sumthin like that.

2. No sense matching a k series processor with anything but a Z270 MoBo. You can't OC the CPU w/o the Z270 MoBo.

3. The entry point for a MoBo w/ a "k" series processor with gaming quality on board sound / LAN, etc is the MSI Z270 SLI Plus..... which runs about $30

I don't recommend wireless on a desktop, especially when used for gaming, but for MoBos I would use, the cheapest ATX one comes in at about $169

The ASRock Z270 KILLER SLI/AC come sin at $130 .. it gives you WiFI but saddles you with the low budget Realtek ALC892 audio solution
 
In synthetic benchmarks, maybe. In the real world where games use single thread, not a chance.

Umm so a GTX 1060 won't beat a GTX 1050Ti? Lol at least read the whole thing. Nevertheless Ryzen has more cores than intel and is slightly beaten in single thread performance. You get more value out of the Ryzen. Plus there's no harm in getting more cores (Ryzen). You never know when you'll need them in the future.

 


If the game is GPU dependent, you would be correct. However most titles coming out now are CPU dependent or a combination of both. I would rather have a 7600k platform and be able to upgrade the GPU in the future than be be stuck with an inferior Ryzen setup.
 


What are you saying I did agree with him. In synthetic benchmarks the 1060+ryzen setup would get better frames. However in gaming you would be better off with an Intel platform.

 
No game will be CPU depedent with a 1600 or a 7600k unless you like low settings when. Paired with a 1050ti... Hell my gtx760 still holds back my 3350p in most newer stuff and a 760 is basically the same gpu as a 1050ti. So back to topic. A 1600 with a 1060 will always beat a 1050ti
 
Yes when paired with a gpu that isn't a low tier gpu. In those cases the 1050ti will still hold back the 7600k bad enough it'll lose handily to a 1060 with a 1600. I don't care if the 7600k was on ln2 running at 8ghz it can make a 1050ti go faster.
