1080p @60fps in AAA games

petervdfl · May 15, 2018

I'm going to build my first gaming pc and I was wondering if it will game at 1080p @60fps in AAA games without overclocking.
The specs are:
Ryzen 5 1500x
Gtx 1060 6gb
8gb of 2400mhz ram
MSI b350m mortar
And that's about it for the most important parts.
Thanks for the help!
PS. I'm going to upgrade on ram later.

ASUS all the way.

But a couple things about the rest of your build, unless price is the only reason then why not get a Ryzen 1600 (first gen Ryzens are on sale right now since the new ones have come out) instead of the 2200G, you wont need the integrated Vega GPU of it since you have a 1060 and you will get more cores/threads, which in coming years if developers deliver will impact performance more then higher clock speeds.

Next you may want to try and find the fastest RAM you can afford, Ryzen's perform better with it. Also be aware 8GB is quickly becoming not enough for a lot of games. You may want to upgrade down the line to more once RAM prices come down.

I would not pair a 2200g with a 1060 6gb. You will be limited by the CPU. The only reason to go for the 2200g is to use the integrated graphics which you wont be using with a 1060. As for the motherboards, there is not much of a difference between the two. They are both budget boards.

If you want AMD, then I would look for a good deal on a 1600. There are some good deals on the 1600 right now due to the release of the 2600. If you go with an AMD CPU, then get at least 3000mhz RAM as AMD CPUs scale very well with high speed RAM.

But if you are just about gaming, then Intel will give you better performance. The 8400 is an excellent CPU that will pair nicely with the 1060 and it does not require high speed RAM. Both AMD 1600 and Intel 8400 rigs will cost about the same.

I second the 8400 recommendation, for the price its the best gaming CPU. However if you do other things like productivity work or plan on streaming the 1600 may be better for you. Also with the 1600 you will be able to overclock unlike the 8400.

I can't afford a 1600 bc I'm kinda on a tight budget, will the 1500x be better than the 2200g?

feelinfroggy777 · May 16, 2018

The 1500x is a quad core with SMT. So in games that use more threads, the 1500x will perform better. In games that will use 4 threads or less, they will be about the same. Most games don't use a lot of threads, so it wont be a big difference in every game. If you cant go with the 1600/8400, I would look at the 8100 as it has much better single threaded performance vs the AMD CPUs and single threaded speed has a big impact on gaming.

Until AMD releases the 2000 series Ryzen 3 chips, the 8100 is the best budget CPU on the market. The only advantage that the 2200g has is the iGPU, so if you are going with a discrete GPU, then you wont be using the best part of the chip.
