Which ryzen 5?

horaciob92 · Jun 22, 2017

PC will be used for work and casual use. Will be using it for:

■ Running 2 IDE programs at once (Android studio, visual studio, etc)
■ Will run max 1 virtual machine
■ Connecting two monitors
■ Multiple browsers running with memory leak and monitoring plugins

Is ryzen 5 1400 enough? Or is it better to pay the difference for 5 1600?

theonerm2 · Jun 22, 2017

I'd get the 1600. It's not that much more.

In my country in price there is a difference of 70 dollars. The rest of the components would be with 16gb ram and b350 motherboard and gt 710 video card. Do you find it suitable?

theonerm2 · Jun 22, 2017

The 1400 is capable of doing the work you want. That all is suitable for a work PC and nothing else. It's terrible for gaming but pretty good for a work PC. The 1600 would be a bit better but the 1400 is capable. Get what you can afford.

Ditto, save up for the 1600 imo, much more powerful, and the extra cache will come in handy.

What do you think about the ryzen 5 1500x? worth it?

horaciob92 :

The 1500x is the same as the 1400 with a higher clock speed. Since all the Ryzen chips are unlocked you can easily increase the clock frequency of the 1400 to the speed of the 1500X. Both CPUs are 4 cores and 8 threads. The 1600 does stand out with its 6 cores and 12 threads. If you ask me, the 1600 is the sweet spot for most builds today.

Chugalug_ · Jun 23, 2017

It has a higher cache.
At the point of getting the 1500X, most of the time a 1600 for a bit more is worth it.

jason3871 · Jun 23, 2017

Yeah, 8MB extra of L3 cache.

Any of those will work fine. Quicker runtime would definitely be better, especially with multithreaded applications, so I would go with the 1600. It all depends on your budget. A lot of CPUs would run virtual machines just fine. I would prioritize RAM as VMs run better with the more RAM you have.

I would also go with the 1600 and if you have an decent budget get 16 GB of RAM.
And you should go probably with an GT 1030 or edit: RX 550

Chugalug_ · Jul 13, 2017

GTX 550???
Also no, get at LEAST a 1050 for graphical stuff, the GT 1030's performance is pretty damn mediocre, and pricing is poor.
