I'm long overdue a complete overhaul of my CPU/mobo/ram. Primary use is gaming & CAD - some multitasking but nothing crazy.
In Aus I'm looking at these 2 options:
Ryzen 1600/ASRock B350 Pro4/8GB RAM @$530
i7 7700 (non K)/ASRock B250 Pro4/8GB RAM @$600
I understand the 1600 performs very well in multi-tasking & multi-threading applications - while the 7700 has the lead in single threaded applications (gaming).
Is the $70-80 extra worth the single-threaded performance increase in the stock 7700?
