So i was building my gaming pc and at first, i wanted to go for a Ryzen 5 1600, but something happened and now i can go for a slightly better CPU - the problem is, which one (except for the 1600x version)?
I'd be okay with changing the mobo for it, it can be either intel or ati -
anyway, something slightly better than the 1600, but somewhat worth the prize difference. Any tips?
I'm going to pair it with a gtx 1080.
