7700K/GTX1060 or 7600K/GTX1060 or 7600K/GTX1070 for 1080p 60fps gaming

Ishan_bansal · Feb 28, 2017

I'm only going to do gaming at 1080p 60 fps. I'm gonna hookup my pc to a Sony LED TV via an AV Receiver so that's going to fix my max fps to 60. Also I don't want to upgrade the cpu anytime soon that's why I'm considering 7700K. So which one of these configs will be best for me 7700K/GTX1060 or 7600K/GTX1060 or 7600K/GTX1070?
In case of 7700K vs Ryzen 1700, I guess 7700K will be better at gaming, right?

Which is better remains to be seen, and it will come down to individual games. Older DX11 titles will probably run much better with the i7. Newer game titles that like lots of threads will do better on Ryzen, in all likliehood.

For 1080p, the 1060 is enough for now. If you want some longevity the 1070 isn't a bad choice.

If you can afford to wait a week or two for reviews, you should.

7700k and 1070 is probably the best choice. That way you don't have upgrade for long time plus you can still play the poorly optimized games if you are unfortunate enough to buy them.

well actually an i7-6700k is even enough, but if you asking with kaby lake processor, then actually an i5-7600k is enough, the turbo boost clock is actually the same as i7-6700k turbo boost, for 1080p 60 fps gtx 1060 is actually enough, but if you want the more powerful one then get 1070. i recommend you using monitor rather than tv, because there is a lot of tv with low refresh rate and sometimes the response time is relatively slow, which is bad for gaming

My setup is for gaming on couch, hence the TV, I'll be using a Logitech controller for every game so I don't plan on moving to monitor gaming anytime soon. As far as 7600K is concerned I'm skeptical about its life as it's already used 100% in most of the games, what would happen by the time next gen cards come out.

the cheapest choice out of those sh**s on 1080p ultra and you are only going to go below 60fps if the entire lobby in gta 5 attack you with rpgs.

jk... but kinda serious

those are 6gb 1060s right?

Ishan_bansal · Mar 1, 2017

In terms of CPU power I'm not concerned abt the cheapest one, if that was the case then I would have simply gone with a 7500 and be done with it. Yes, ofc it's 6GB, 3GB ver is kinda pointless.

It's final, I'm going with the i7. AMD support in my area is virtually non existent and this being an entirely new platform of sorts will have its early bugs which will probably take a few months to iron out. And as far as the initial reviews are concerned, Ryzen is more of a workstation kind, as rightfully explained by Gamers Nexus, the one which conducted very extensive tests on 1800X. 1700 is basically a lower clocked version of 1800X, so I expect a little lower performance for that. Yes I know that 8c16t sounds very future proofy but I'm sure that the i7 won't let me down anytime soon. Getting Ryzen feels like a gamble right now.
This is the final spec sheet
i7 7700K/212 EVO
Gigabyte Z270 HD3P Mobo
Gigabyte GTX 1060 6GB G1 Gaming
Corsair Vengence RED LED DDR4 3000mhz 8GBx2
Cooler Master 550w SMPS
Samsung 850 Evo 250GB
Corsair Carbide 100R Cabinet

good choice. you won't be having any problems at 1080p ultra, that's for sure. although people are going to give you crap on the power supply, I don't know enough about them to comment, but you may want to get final confirmation on that.
