I5 with better ram/gpu or i7 with budget ram/gpu

jearlemail · Nov 28, 2018

Need input on this upgrade/build before I buy parts. I already own the parts with zero price, and want to know if cpu/ram choices are best bang for the buck. Or, should I get cheaper ram gpu to bump up to 9700k? I need to keep budget under $1200

I would say it is well balanced with 9600k & 2070. Going for a 9700k at the cost of RAM & gpu will give worse performance and won’t utilise the 9700k’s potiental.

Thanks. Those were my thoughts. This is my other build. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JbdQNQ
I would love the 9700k, but I don’t want to waste it on a 1070ti and 60hz monitor, if it’s going to be bottlrnecked. I was considering that it may be easier to upgrade gpu in future though, as used ones still seem to sell ok. I think I’ve put to much thought into and confused myself lol.
