Call me retarded but I want a computer that will get high frames (120 area) max settings at 1920*1080 in Star Citizen (if it ever releases)
I know I'm thinking way too far ahead, as I probably won't buy until Cyber Monday 2018. I'm just not sure if Star Citizen will better benefit from more core/threads from Ryzen or higher clocks from intel. What are your thoughts?
The parts listed are what I already have or have already decided on.


Mobo? Considering AsRock X370
CPU? Considering Ryzen 1800X

Case: 750D Airflow
PSU: 750w gold
GPU: 980ti 6gb
RAM: 2x 8GB DDR4
SSD: 128 gb samsung 840
SSD: 500 gb samsung 840
HDD: 1TB Seagate Black
Cooling: H105

Are you basically saying it doesn't matter?

I'm saying if u want to game with a high refresh rate monitor, go Intel

ty for gold btw

So if it came down to ryzen 1800x with x370 mobo or 8700k with z370 mobo you'd go with the 8700k? That combination is currently only 20$ more, though who knows what prices will be in 13 months.

Oh fuck yeah

8700k smokes Ryzen in gaming performance, especially if you have a high hertz monitor

Currently running a 144hz gsynch with a 980ti 6gb gpu...and a 2500k@4.0 lol. which do you think will bottleneck the other? the 980ti or the 8700k?

980ti prob?

8700k will really never be a bottleneck

So I'd sooner have to SLI/upgrade psu (750w gold).

intel has at least 3-4x the ipc of ryzen in games, 10x+ in some applications, it's jut not a competition. ryzen's made in india with poo dust processors are too slow to do anything. Gotta recommend intel all the way. i5-8400 + bclk oc
