CPU : Intel Core i5-6500

Cpu cooler : Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO

Motherboard: Asus PRIME B250-PLUS

Memory: Kingston - HyperX Fury Black 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4-2133

Video card: Gigabyte - GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB G1 Gaming Video Card
Any suggestions? Is there any mistakes?

n0ns3ns3 · Dec 29, 2017

why not i5-8400 ?

m-s-s--2009 · Dec 29, 2017

i think it's incompatibilities

n0ns3ns3 · Dec 29, 2017

well, to go with i5-8400 a Z370 MB will be needed (the cheapest will do the job), memory can remain the same and you can skip that 212 EVO for now.
if you look at the total cost, it will be about the same, but with much more performance. the older quad core i5s (6th and 7th gen) are not capable to deliver smooth gameplay in many titles even today. My guess you want to keep the system for few years.

Thank you so much

I honestly don't understand people buying ryzen for gaming.
here is a build that will last longer on the CPU side while offering similar performance everywhere else:

CPU: Intel - Core i5-8400 2.8GHz 6-Core Processor ($209.89 @ B&H)
Motherboard: MSI - Z370 SLI PLUS ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ($92.98 @ Newegg)

Total: $797.63

What's wrong with ryzen ?

Finstar · Dec 29, 2017

m-s-s--2009 :

Nothing, it's the Intel fanboys who can't accept the fact that AMD made a good cpu architecture.
Ryzen is well proven to have better frame times and less microstutter than Intel cpus anyways.

n0ns3ns3 · Dec 29, 2017

there is nothing wrong with ryzen. it is just less suitable for gaming for very simple reasons:
1. lower IPC (compared to intel).
2. lower frequency (compared to intel).
Since both are important for gaming more than number of threads (once number of threads > 4) i5-8400 is better option for gaming. it will also last longer.
And the best part for you, you get this gaming performance out of the box. no need to get special expensive RAM and no need to overclock.
If you were building system for some other than gaming purpose, ryzen might have been better option.
You can check any benchmark/review and you will always have the same result Coffee Lake i5 and i7 are better than any ryzen for gaming.

n0ns3ns3 · Dec 29, 2017

Finstar :

and the link to this "well proven" ?
So far i've not seen a ryzen that can do better than coffee lake in both consistent frame times and and high FPS in any title.
quite the opposite.

madmatt30 · Dec 29, 2017

Honestly with a 1060 there is going to be virtually nil difference.

I don't really feel like arguing with butthurt fanboys.

n0ns3ns3 · Dec 29, 2017

madmatt30 :

there will be some difference in more CPU bound games.
and the major difference at least for me, is the fact that it will do better in a long run. Don't know how about you, but i tend to replace GPU 2-3 times on the same CPU. and the 8400 have more headroom than 1600 (especially stock 1600).

n0ns3ns3 · Dec 29, 2017

Finstar :

of course you don't feel like as your only argument is insults.

m-s-s--2009 · Dec 29, 2017

Don't you think that 2.8ghz slow for gaming ?
