Hi all.
I live in Hong Kong and am relatively new to the world of PC building and I'm going to be building my first rig soon. I have gathered a list of parts from Newegg Hong Kong of what I consider a good combination:
AMD Ryzen 2600
MSI RTX 2070 Armour
16GB (8x2) DDR4 of G.Skill Aegis RAM (3000Mhz)
MSI X470 Gaming Pro
Corsair CX750M
Plexator M9PE 256GB Nvme M.2
2TB Seagate HDD
CoolerMaster Hyper 212 EVO
Now to my question:
I will be playing games at 1440p at more than 60 fps on high to ultra settings. Would adding an aftermarket CPU cooler and overclocking the Ryzen 2600 give more performance (more fps) than the i5 8400 or is the i5 still better for gaming at 1440p.
As the i5 8400 is US$30 more expensive (on Newegg HK), for US$50 more, I can get CM Hyper 212 EVO and X470 Motherboard with Ryzen 2600.
And my second question:
Does an X470 board overclock better than a B450 board? B450 board (Gigabyte Aorus Pro WiFi) is 25 USD cheaper + I won't have to buy a WiFi card.
Here are the total costs for Intel and AMD Builds (AMD build includes CM Hyper 212 EVO)
Intel: US$1140 (H370 Motherboard)
AMD: US$1190 (X470 Motherboard)
Please respond quickly as I want to buy these parts this week. Are there any sellers from Hong Kong who are offering better prices on similar gear?
This information will help me greatly. Thank you.
