[SOLVED] Which upgrade would be best for gaming?

[polariux123]

I use my pc for gaming and a little desktop. I mostly play big modern games like Battlefield V and AS Creed, and will continue to do so in the future. Here are my two suggestions:

660$ upgrade: (this is a bundle)
Ryzen 7 2700X
ASUS ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING
HyperX Fury DDR4 2666MHz 16GB

720$ upgrade:
Intel core i5-8600k
Asrock z370 extreme 4
HyperX Fury Ddr4 2666MHz 16gb

What do you think would be best? Do you have any other sugestions?

Best? i5 8600k

Best Value? Ryzen 2700x

https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i5-8600K-vs-AMD-Ryzen-7-2700X/3941vs3958

The i5 has better single core performance which in most games is the important factor. However the Ryzen 7 has 2 More cores so will multi task a lot better and will probably perform better in future games that make better use of multi core performance.

Of the 2 i'd say go for the Ryzen.

Also the next Gen of Ryzen will be on the AM4 socket so you have a guaranteed upgrade path.

Ok, thanks for your answer!
One question. Would it be possible do overclocking on the B450 mobo and Ryzen 2700x? (im not that into AMD) And do you know if the corsair H60 liquid cooler would be enoght for an OCed 2700x? If it Even fits The mobo tho...

You will be able to overclock on a B450 board, the X470s are more overclock orientated and you will get better results from them but obviously at an increased cost. But for the most part the B450s are fine.

That cooler will begood for overclocking with.
