Cpu + Mobo + Gpu for $600

minecraftmaster0612 · Nov 23, 2017

As the title says i'm looking for a build for around $600. I've already picked out the case which is around $65. I'm going to be using the 650watt psu from the build i'm currently on and i already have 16 gb of ddr4 ram. So basically a build for just the cpu gpu and mobo for around $600.

Maybe something like this?

You could swap in a Ryzen 5 1600 if you want the included cooler.

For the Intel side:

Interesting. Which one could i get more performance out of overclock wise? Which one of those would be the best for daily use gaming, photoshop, a bit of video editings, extracting files and such

The Intel system would provide a higher frame rate due to it’s better overclocking head room and increased IPC over the AMD system. However, the AMD side would still crush games at max 1080p settings and high 1440p settings.

For productivity, the AMD is built better for those tasks. You get 4 cores and 8 threads which is better for editing and rendering tasks.

If it were up to me, I would choose the AMD system. Coffee Lake chips are in short supply otherwise I would push you in that direction. The Kaby Lake chips are stuck at the 200 series chipsets with no upgrade path. The AMD system is built on the AM4 platform which AMD has said will be their chipset for the next 4 years. So, your upgrade path is set if you want to throw a newer AM4 chip in later down the road.

Hmmm would it be worth stepping up to the ryzen 7?

Is that mobo on the intel side good for overclocking

minecraftmaster0612 · Nov 23, 2017

also is the one good for overclocking on the amd side

They’re both good overclockers. You just need to get a decent cooler if you plan to push your chips to higher clocks.

You could push it up to a Ryzen 7 but you wouldn’t see much benefit in games. If you’re going to dive into rendering and editing a lot then the Ryzen 7 chips would help you there.

Sorry for asking so much. But what kind of cooler would i need to get into if i wanted to try ocing to say 3.8 ghz range for the ryzen

Something like a Hyper 212 Evo or better. Look into Noctua coolers and research Ryzen compatible coolers to ensure they fit the socket.

The Corsair H110i AIO is a good liquid option, as well.
