Which would be better for gaming

productivemarsho · Aug 6, 2018

Im looking to buy a better gaming pc and i have customized them to my needs but i don't know if I should go for Intel's core i5 or AMD's AMD Ryzen 5. They are both customized on Fierce Pc's Website.

Intel ?

Intel Core i5 7400 3.0GHz (3.5GHz Boost) Quad Core CPU
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB Graphics Card
8GB 2400MHz DDR4 (1 x 8GB) Memory
2TB SATA3 6Gbps Hard Drive
ASUS H110M-Plus Micro ATX Motherboard
Microsoft Windows 10 Home 64 Bit

£657.90

Or AMD ?

AMD Ryzen 5 2400G 3.6GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) Quad-Core CPU
Cooler Master Hyper TX3 Evo Tower CPU Cooler
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB Graphics Card
8GB Corsair Vengeance LPX 2400MHz DDR4 Memory (1 x 8GB)
2TB SATA3 6Gbps Hard Drive
Gigabyte A320M-S2H Motherboard

£687.75

It is pretty close and they will perform pretty similar. The 2400g is a decent budget CPU and it edges out the 7400, but the 1 stick of RAM is really gonna hurt the 2400g's performance as it will be running in single channel instead of dual channel and memory speed is critical to its performance.

If you are willing to upgrade the RAM, then go for the 2400g, but it not, then get the Intel rig and save a little money.

well for 16 GB ram it makes the cost £769.75 so I'm gonna go with intel.

Thanks

If you decide to stick with Intel, I would go for a Coffee Lake based system instead. The I3-8100 actually performe quite a bit better than the I5-7400.

productivemarsho · Aug 6, 2018

unless you overclock it which I'm not going to the i5 will be better

feelinfroggy777 :

What is a rough estimate of the settings and FPS that I could play on in games like Scrap Mechanic, Beamng Drive and Euro Truck Simulator 2

Kasper Jorgensen · Aug 6, 2018

You cannot overclock any of them, so yes the new I3-8100 will perform better than the I5-7400.

I'm not buying from amazon

productivemarsho · Aug 6, 2018

Kasper Jorgensen :

that's in only gta I don't play gta

madmatt30 · Aug 6, 2018

Why ? Admi are one of the best prebuild suppliers on there.

productivemarsho · Aug 6, 2018

madmatt30 :

I have never heard of them and I wanted to customise my own

feelinfroggy777 · Aug 6, 2018

productivemarsho :

I agree with madmatt30. There are a lot better systems out there for the money. You asked which was best, but I would not buy either.

Kasper Jorgensen · Aug 6, 2018

productivemarsho :

Did you actually read the whole review? It's in all games.
Both are 4 core CPUs but the I3-8100 running a faster clock speed.

Personally I would build it myself as you get a whole lot more for your money and are not stuck with mediocre PSU choices and single channel RAM.

Spec that with a 7400, a 240gb ssd+2tb secondary & it comes in at £642 delivered with windows 10 preinstalled.

productivemarsho · Aug 6, 2018

madmatt30 :

I want one with at least 1TB perhaps 2TB storage
No SSD
And below £700

Kasper Jorgensen · Aug 6, 2018

productivemarsho :

Why no SSD? Unless if it's because you already own one, you will see a huge improvement in boot time and overall response from the computer.

madmatt30 · Aug 6, 2018

^? That is £642 with an ssd & a 2tb hard drive.
I'm giving a system with an ssd extra for less money & a platinum 3 year rtb warranty.

With just a 2tb drive it comes in at £577.93 , close to £80 less than fierce pc.

productivemarsho · Aug 6, 2018

madmatt30 :

Do you have any recommendations for one from like ASUS, zoostorm, acer, or any other common brands

productivemarsho · Aug 6, 2018

Kasper Jorgensen :

because they are not big enough and are expensive
I have a 2TB HDD at the minute and it still boots fast
I don't care about boot times

madmatt30 · Aug 6, 2018

Wouldn't buy acer, proprietary motherboards & psu's.
Non upgradeable

Asus ? Not in that budget

Zoostorm ? Theyre branded stormforce now

Stormforce Onyx Gaming PC - (Black) (Intel Intel Core i3 8100, 8 GB RAM, 1 TB HDD, NVIDIA GTX 1060 3GB Graphics, Windows 10, 3 years C&R Warranty) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07D4QSP3N/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_GxfABbC3DA154

I3 8100,1060 3gb, only a 1tb drive but you could add more drives when necessary.

madmatt30 :

Ok I'm getting somewhere but would gtx 1050 4GB ti be better than gtx 1060 3GB
