What is the best Ryzen 5 CPU for GTX 1060 3gb?

itz.masic69 · Aug 4, 2018

So I want to upgrade my pc and I want to know what cpu is the best for gtx 1060 3gb.

sizzling · Aug 4, 2018

It probably doesn’t make a difference but what resolution and Hz are you gaming at?

My default answer would be a 2600 on a decent board for overclocking and 3000+ MHz RAM.

sizzling :

at 60hz, and, is this board good: https://amzn.to/2kFITHr ? And will 2x4gb 2400MHz be a problem (I mean ofc it won't but you know what I mean)

t0st4r · Aug 4, 2018

Yeah Id also go for an Ryzen 2600, if you dont want to spend as much money you can also choose an 1600.
Id go with an MSI Gaming Pro Carbon, (x470 / x370)

ummm, those mobos are a bit pricy for me, anything for 100 euros?

madmatt30 · Aug 4, 2018

^ depends on your location

To be safe with a 2600 you need a b450 board.

Whereas the 1600 can be run on any am4 board without worry.

madmatt30 :

so is this board that i gave link of good for 1600?

Gaming machine I just completed on Friday, blistering fast, although the AIO water cooler a tight fit for Define C, big footprint with 4 fans.

Kills World of Warships and I haven't een bothered overclocking yet

It is but that link is overpriced . what country are you actually in ??

The pro 4m should be around €70.

& worth it if Youre not budget limited , although with a 60htz screen you would honestly not see a performance difference.

Ignore the fan- I included it by mistake :-\

Im from Serbia. I gave that link just to show you the mobo lol. I found it for 76e in my town. So now, my machine should look like:
CPU - Ryzen 5 1600
GPU - GTX 1060 3gb
RAM - 2x4gb ddr4 3000MHz (or 2400MHz idk)
mobo - (you know what mobo it is)
psu - 500w chieftec gpa-500s8 (is this enough btw?)
is this all compatible? Anyways, thank you all for helping! <3

madmatt30 · Aug 4, 2018

^ not mad on the chieftec Psu , it's enough but low quality.
Everything else is fine, ram speed? Depends on pricing, 2400 performs ok, 3000mhz would better but not if it's €30-40 more expensive.

Just be sure to buy a pair of sticks not a single one.
Ryzen can perform up to 20% better with dual channel memory (2 sticks)

Any other psu's available ?

itz.masic69 · Aug 4, 2018

madmatt30 :

How about 500W Raidmax RX-500XT?

t0st4r · Aug 4, 2018

You can also go with an MSI b350 pro vdh. But Id consider to buy an Rx 580 instead of the 1060

madmatt30 · Aug 4, 2018

Better than the chieftec but honestly still awful

Anything by antec, corsair, bequiet,evga (thermaltake at a push) available ??

I understand your location means limited availability but I wouldn't ever use a raidmax & chieftec only have a few decent Psu models.

itz.masic69 · Aug 4, 2018

madmatt30 :

I found antec bronze 650W for 75e (thats a lot more than I imagined to spend on psu). And how about cooler master? I've found 500W Cooler Master Watt Lite for 60e.

madmatt30 · Aug 4, 2018

itz.masic69 :

the masterwatt lite is better than the chieftec & raidmax but once again when youre spending around 500-600 on new components I would want something better personally.
What actual model is that antec ? If its decent its worth the extra 15 euro,you should honestly never skimp on psu quality if you can help it.

Antec 650W Bronze NE650M

madmatt30 · Aug 4, 2018

The antec is easily the best one you've listed so far,its easily worth 15 euro more than the coolermaster.

The choice is yours at the end of the day but if you can afford that little extra I definitely would.
