Hello!
As the subject says, I'm building a PC for gaming at 1080, on high, preferably ultra settings. I'm aiming at sweet LED AMVA 1080, (60mhz) monitor, and have no plans to go further.
Budget is somewhat flexible, since I want this build to last for about 5 years, but try and stay at reasonable cost.
So, for CPU - Ryzen 5 1400 sounds like a sweet spot, but I'm abit scared of general "freshness" of it (meaning - support for it probably isn't as polished as i5's, correct me if I'm wrong), and that most of re is say that it's full value comes when you pair it with B350, overclock it, and have very fast RAM. I would prefer my new PC to perform great just outside of the box, if it's possible.
i3 7100 looks very attractive from price point, however I suspect it will hold for maybe year or two tops, before I will have to compromise on details, resolution, etc. And since I don't plan to upgrade for another 5-6 years, it doesn't looks like the smartest buy.
Maybe it is best to go for i5 7600(k), but won't it be held back by 1060 I intend to use anyway? I guess the question is - does the extra $$ ensure future-proof, or will it get old anyway because of "only" 4 cores?
More or less same goes for Ryzen 5 1600 - it's looks great, but does it worth spending on it, without 1070/1080 to back it up?
For ram I'm going 16gm off at least 2400, will check prices if I could up it to 2600 without breaking a bank.
And of course - what PSU I will need for it - will 550 be enough? Going for Corsair or Antec.
