Which PC should I buy?

[r.matas]

Okay, so there are two PC I found that (in my opinion) are pretty good.

1. Intel CORE i5-8400 2.8GHz, 400GB SSD, ASUS Cerberus GeForce GTX 1070 Ti 8GB, 1189€.

2. AMD Ryzen 5 2600 3.4GHz, 240GB SSD, MSI Radeon RX 580 ARMOR 8G OC, 829€.

Just for gaming? The first one has a slightly better gaming cpu and much stronger gpu. You can lookup reviews of the 1070Ti and 580 to compare.

What resolution and Hz is your monitor?

The Core i5-8400 with a 400GB SSD and a GTX1070 Ti is a great deal at 829 Euro's and far more powerful on the gaming front...If the PC is for heavy workloads like rendering, editing and encoding then only would I consider the 2600...

Just realised the first one is cheaper. I’d definitely say it is better unless you are doing something that needs the extra threads of the 2600. The second pc should be no more expensive than the first so it looks like a bad deal.

1920x1080 and 60Hz.

Oh crap I mixed them up. The prices are mixed!

1920x1080 at 60Hz, then both will more than handle it, though the 1070ti is still far better in the long run than the 580 and that would swing it for me...

I mixed up the prices! ;D

To be honest you don’t need a 1070Ti for 1080p 60Hz. A 1060 6gb will run current games at very high to max settings at 60fps and 1070 will run max or very close. The 1070Ti is better suited to 1080p 144Hz or 1440p 60Hz.

Ha ha ha...mixed them up...Boy I though that was too good!!! Me personlly, if you have the money to spend, go for the 1070 Ti, thats if it comes with the ram 16GB and all the other things required, if not, then you could probably shop around and build it yourself around Ryxen or Intel..Its the GPU that really matters as we are in a good period with great CPU's from both AMD and Intel...
