What's your take on my build ?(bottleneck question)

[iosifkh]

I wanna buy new components for my pc
ideal resolution 1440p

Ryzen 5 1600
Gtx 1070 or 1080 idk
MSI B350 PC MATE
G.Skill Ripjaws V 16GB DDR4 3200MHz CL14
SSD Samsung 860 EVO 250GB

Will there be a problem between the r5 1600 and the gtx 1080(if i go with it)

 

[Obakasama]

Main problem would be price. For 1440p gaming the GTX 1070 should be sufficient.

If you're going witha 1080 get an1700 ryzen

 

[sizzling]

1440p 60Hz or 144Hz? Big difference in requirements.

For ryzen is better g skill flare x than ripjaws v

if going with a 1080, I'd spring for the 8600K if possible, despite the extra $150 expense in cpu, cooler, mainboard...

The R5-1600, although quite competent, is not quite as fast as the 8600K, and lags on min framerates (in comparison with 8600K) on some games, especially if trying to maintain 144 Hz refresh rates. (If playing with 60 Hz refresh monitor, no perceived difference)

(The R7 variants are not faster than the R5-1600 in today's games, I'd only consider them if a heavy streamer and/or home video editor, etc...)
