Question Ryzen 2700X

[DavidUSSR]

Should I buy Ryzen 2700X for games like GTA V and Arma 3 ?
And what's the difference between the 2700 and the 2700X ?

depends on your graphics card and motherboard, but the 2700x will run both games very well.

only difference is base and boost clock and the TDP
the 2700 can easily be overclocked to a 2700X with a good motherboard

I have been using the 2700x for a while now and it's a good chip in my opinion. I just switched from using Precision Boos Overdrive to man OCing and im running stable 4.2 on all cores at about 70c after an hour of AC: Odyssey. I am also running 2 GTX 1070ti's at 2k on very high in the game. I think it's a great chip for the price.

If you're getting a Ryzen CPU only for gaming, i strongly recommend you to just get a Ryzen R5 2600.. With that you will save few hundred dollars.

R7 2700X is an overclockers & productivity CPU. It's designed for heavy CPU workload scenarios.

The difference between standard R7 2700 & 2700X is that the 2700X will clock higher & potentially running at more stable operation under extreme clock speed situations..

I love my 2700x I'm running a nearly 800.00 custom Koolance Liquid cooling system, however you only need a basic one. 70c is rather hot even with a stock setup if you're using the stock fan. I however recommend waiting until Zen2 comes out if you're going to get a Ryzen system. I've had mine since Oct. 2018, First one had a very small problem the memory controller was bad, I've had this one since the replacement and it's been running flawlessly.
