Ah okay. That's cleared something's up, butI made a typo, I meant H270 vs B250. Not H170 vs B250 That's cool about the Pcie lanes etc, as long as there is nothing else that would impact the performance, I will go ahead and update my bios, about the Coffee lake CPUs, I know about their smaller in size or something? And are supposed to be much better, but I'm afraid I need to upgrade now, I can't really wait any longer, my dual core i3 6100 is just not keeping up anymore and I have pre ordered project cars 2 and cod ww2, and the thing just won't cut it, I was originally going for a ryzen 5 1500x, but that would mean I would have to buy a new motherboard immediately, (different socket) but upon doing research it looks like intel CPUs still beat ryzen processors in gaming (even 10 to 15 fps can make a lot of difference), so what is your opinion on 1500x vs 7500??? Also one thing to note, I want a red and black motherboard that is aesthetically pleasing (good looking) as well to match the rest of my build so I would go with a H270 but not much in the way of ones from either gigabyte, MSI or Asus which I like the look of and have an h270 chipset.
Thanks, (sorry for essay). Sam
. And actually, the 8th gen i5 may not be as good as the Ryzen 5 1600, especially if you're playing with a 60 Hz monitor. At 60 Hz, the higher clock speed of Intel does not make a difference - both Ryzen CPUs and Coffee Lake CPUs are capable of 60 Hz gaming. Intel is better only if you have a high refresh rate monitor. For 60 Hz, Ryzen 5 1600 is a better deal since it has 12-threads, while the next gen i5's will only have 6 threads. This will allow the Ryzen CPU to last a bit longer than the 8th gen i5's.
