Hello all,
I was just wondering which route I should go. I'm upgrading platforms. I'm wanting to move to the new Zen 2 from AMD. I used to stream, but gave that up. Now I just game and us my PC for homework. I'm in school for cyber security, so I'm using VMs every so often. I will be transferring my 1080ti to the new platform though. I play mostly competitive shooter games like CS, R6, OW, and also the occasional Skyrim or RPG game, so I do need my frames to be high for shooters. So my question is, could I go with the cheaper Ryzen 5? Or should I go with Ryzen 7? Would I actually see any benefits of spending the extra money for Ryzen 7/would Ryzen 5 bottleneck the 1080ti? Money is a concern, but not too terribly. Thanks in advance!
