Hi everyone,
My dinosaur mobo finally died (P7P55D-E Pro) and I need to upgrade the whole combo too (still used good old i5-750 OC 4ghz daily on air). Too bad it's right at the time of a lot of changes so I am a bit confused since I'm away from the hardware community for so long.
Could you please advise which option is better for a new computer for gaming and office work (several docs, sheets, chrome tabs, etc. no PTS or rendering)?
I've just looked up a bit and the below combos fall into my budget:
Option 1
Intel Core i5-7600K Kaby Lake Quad-Core 3.8 GHz LGA 1151
ASUS ROG STRIX Z270H GAMING LGA1151
Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 8GB Bus 2400 DDR4 CL16
I think I can continue to use my old air cooler Venomous X, I heard that it's compatible with 1151 socket
Option 2
AMD RYZEN 5 1600 6-Core 3.2 GHz (3.6 GHz Turbo) Socket AM4
ASUS ROG STRIX B350-F GAMING AM4
Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 8GB Bus 2400 DDR4 CL16
Some new air cooler or at least new bracket for my Venomous X since I think AM2/AM3 bracket does not fit in new AM4. This option is roughly $50 cheaper than Option 1 where I live so I can afford a new compatible cooler
Any other suggestion is welcome too, if budget-wise not too outrageous.
