Would like to get a 1080 GPU with this, right from EVGA website for $540-580 ish. Rest from Newegg.

Thanks!

Intel will be better if you're looking for consistent FPS above 120, otherwise go AMD (you could almost upgrade to a 1080ti with the savings using AMD).
Any particular reason you want to spend an extra $100 on a GFX card? Also, sites like Amazon, B&H, etc, offer just as good of service as Newegg, and can have better prices.

Who told you to get
A 1080 2 weeks b4 new gpu's
Best bet is find a used 1080ti

Thanks man, solid. Any much difference between i5 and i7 cores?

Basically:

Ryzen 5 1600x/2600x = to i5-8600k
Ryzen 7 1800x/2700x = to i7-8700k
Ryzen TR 1950x = to i9-7960x

Right for comparsion?



Have a build for $1200 with a 1080ti then sir?

I want to keep the CPU between Ryzen 1600x and 1800x
For Intel which my friend prefers guessing between i5-8600k and i7-8700k.

Ryzen 1800x on par with i5-8600k?

i7-8700k is king? (Best bang for buck wise?) But would raise the PC over budget most likely, would want a more expensive mobo then prob.

For an idea on prices...


8700K...

8600K...

8700K has hyper threading, the 8600K doesn't.

gaming wise yes but can also depend on resolution too
but wow and pubg loves single core so intel
actually many games love single core

The additional cores of i7 will not help with gaming. 2000 series Ryzen > 1000 series Ryzen (better clock speed, lower cache latency, higher memory support, etc).
Intel will generally achieve higher FPS than AMD, but AMD is still plenty capable to around 100-120. After that then you will want Intel. Again, this only applies if you're actually gaming on a high FPS display (144hz is popular high refresh rate). If you're on a normal 60hz display, there will be no difference.

Get a 2600. The x in pointless for Ryzen. You can still overclock the non-x, but the x variants don't come with a cooler. The stock Ryzen coolers are actually good (unlike the Intel ones).
Also bang for buck is relative. The best bang for your buck is what get's your job done the cheapest. For those games listed you could buy an Intel Pentium processor and still get 120hz for $60. But it would suck at anything that is multi-core dependent.
Do you do any content creation?
What display are you going to be gaming on?
