What is worth getting?

RememberThe5th · Aug 4, 2018

I have 2 options:
1. I7-4790 for 120€
2. RG 2200
2x8GB 2400 geil
Asrock ab350 pro 4 for around 170-190€ (depends how much can i lower price).
All are used with/without warranty.
Pice in shop is 300€ with warranty or more cause ddr4 16GB is quite expensive around here.

Thank you.

Also to note Im still on 1150.

Single core & quad core performance difference is pretty much nothing after overclocking the 2200G however with the 4790 you do have the 8 threads...

As for how long the 4790 will last for I'd say another year or two depending on what becomes of requirements for gaming or whatever your use is.

For me seems getting i7 under price is pretty good rather than swapping whole pc, but RG is pretty under price, 16GB for 50€~.

While getting RG gives you atleast upgrade path, also to note its an k cpu.

So it's actually the 4790K? Do have a motherboard that supports overclocking?

RememberThe5th · Aug 4, 2018

Im quite unsure, h81m-dgs r2.0

It says that it supoort non z K cpu overclocking in tweaker.

What are the rest of your specs?

From a processor point of view, the I7-4790K is a winner, even if you have to run it at stock on your motherboard.
8 thread I7-4790K passmark is 11185 and single thread is 2530.

4 thread Ryzen 2200G is 7583 1820

If you have a discrete graphics card, the value of the integrated graphics will be wasted.

I have discrete r7 250 (sold 1050ti) for now till 1180 comes out and ill snatch rx 580..
16GB HyperX.
Well most of you agree for i7 then.

It's going to be a massive upgrade over your current 4170, just make sure you have decent cooling as the 4790K runs quite warm.

RememberThe5th · Aug 4, 2018

Well thank you all for helping.

Oh and another soo I dont open another thread, should i go for rx 580 at 200€ or 1060 6GB at same price? Note. 1080p monitor with 1024.

RememberThe5th :

If its the 580 8gb the performance difference is minimal and each card exceeds with certain games. If your monitor supports Freesync I'd consider the 580.

Just an update I've got xeon for under 70€

WildCard999 · Aug 9, 2018

It's not a bad CPU but it doesn't have the extra threads nor higher higher clock speeds of the 4790K.

RememberThe5th · Aug 9, 2018

Couldn't find i7 anymore at 200€ price, the guy wasnt responding, others they sell it at 300€, If i find it Im going to sell xeon and my i3.
