Should I buy i7 LGA 1155 or a Ryzen 5 1600?

[SupremeMusic]

Hi guys! I'm new here I built a PC before but I built a FX8350 not the best but does the job. I'm not a crazy fan of the blue vs red team. I just want to play games so my question is should I build an old i7 3770 I can get it at goodwill for 125 with micro atx but I'm going to buy a z77 motherboard from a guy I met on CL or should I do a new Ryzen 5 1600 with a x370.

Also a guy is selling me a 980ti hybrid for 350$ Which I might get I missed out on a 200$ Titan X he had for sale then he had Titan black too for the same price idk if I should take a chance on that

Ryzen's gaming IPC falls between Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge. You're looking at a locked 4 core 8 threaded processor and an unlocked 6 core 12 threaded. With more cores and threads, and the capability to clock higher than the Ivy processor, I can see it beating it in games. However, Ivy would beat it in others as well.

unfortunately you don't have the option to upgrade to ryzen. the FX8350 is AM3 CPU and ryzen is AM4 and they and AM4 motherboards are not backwards compatible with those CPU's . so an upgrade to ryzen would involve getting a new CPU, motherboard, and RAM

Yeah I know I have to buy a new motherboard and ram I will be getting a x370 if I do and buy corsair dominator ddr4 3000mhz but I'm asking is it worth a little more to do that or Cani achieve better with an old lga1155 i7

just for a more modern build it would be better to go with ryzen if your not looking to invest in a more modern intel setup.

as others have mentioned on here ryzen matches the performance of ivy and haswell CPU's

They also match performances of a i5-7600k

See I was thinking that too but a guy at microcenter told me that they will be not selling for LGA1151 soon so I was wondering going older or new Ryzen 5 1600 plus I like the stock cooler if I do go with the LGA1155 I can use my corsair 100i v2 with it

I would go with the 1600, its cooler is decent, and its cheap.
