New Gaming PC Help

[zachparr2442]

So in a pickle on deciding on a new build between these 3

Ryzen 1700 https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HpQJ3F

Ryzen 1600 https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Jn96WX

Intel i7 7700k https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jhF2sJ I already have a cooler from a past build

Now i mostly play games like PUBG, Rocket League, Wildlands, Titanfall 2. 144Hz Monitor

Also record time to time

Any help would be nice

i7-7700K for 144Hz and even recording is good. Streaming would lose performance though. You've got Ryzen 7 in the 7700K build list.

Thanks changed it and yes i was also thinking the 7700k also but i can save alot more using ryzen since i live next to a micro center, and if i get a 7700k i already know im going to delid and try to get as high as possible like i always do.

7700k rocks....

As the above poster said, toss Twitch/streaming, etc., into the mix, and I'd go R7-1700, and OC it a few hundred MHZ higher....

 

[zachparr2442]

I can OC pretty well was able to get my old 6700k to 5.17ghz at 1.42v, im pretty decent at it. Its just better to try somthing new or go with what you know.

 

[mdd1963]

if already running a 6700K, (especially an OC'd one!) you'd be facing reduced framerates at 1080/1440P (10-30% with any Ryzen....unless a streamer while gaming....

(7700k and 6700K perform identically at the same clocks, so that would be a waste of time, a lateral move at best)

I'd stand pat, get a better GPU where it will make a difference...

nah i got rid of my old system and gtx 1080 is more then enough for what i need plus its the sweet spot right now- 450$ for a 1070 or 500-530$ for a 1080 then you jump to 700 for a 1080ti not worth it

While I agree with others who are saying that 7700K rules for gaming, just remember that for the price of your current 7700K build, you can get a Ryzen 5 1600 and a slightly cheaper motherboard and step up from a GTX 1080 to a 1080ti. That will unquestionably be faster over a wide range of games. So yes, the 7700K is the faster gaming CPU, but a Ryzen 5 1600 and 1080ti is actually the superior gaming build at your budget.

RE 1080 vs 1080ti, you're paying 35-40% more for the 1080ti for around 30-35% better performance in GPU limited scenarios. That's a slight falloff in value, but it's actually not nearly as bad as you usually see for the top-tier performance. That's mostly because the 1080 prices are badly inflated right now whereas the 1080ti hasn't been as affected.

Anyway, I actually don't think you have any bad options here. 7700K or 1700 + 1080, or 1600 + 1080ti, they're all good, solid choices that will deliver fantastic gaming experiences. There's pros and cons for each approach, but no bad options IMHO.

Can you post a build with the 1080ti in it so I can see the difference.

 

[MrN1ce9uy]

You've already got the 6700K. Why not wait for Coffee Lake and a 6-core i7? Should be right around the corner.

 

[zachparr2442]

Already post that I sold it. But there is a guy here with a 1700 and a b350 msi mortar for 300 that I'm trying to get ahold of

 

[MrN1ce9uy]

Oh sorry, I missed that part.

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/zachparr2442/saved/3BVt6h sp was able to do a 1600 with a 1080ti better then the other 2 still?
