hi guys, I haven't kept up properly with the changes that's why I'm asking for advice.
background info - I have a i5-3570k (running at stock after oc-ing for a while to 4ghz and becoming unstable) , 16GB RAM, GTX970, 1000W PSU , multiple SSDs
I'm planning towards an upgrade, more likely just for the cpu/mobo/ram. I'm in no rush, I might wait till the xmass sales (hopefully it would offset some of the brexit hardware rises)
I don't have a exact budget in mind but can spend 400-600£ if I have to or feel it's a good deal
- it is my impression Ryzen 5 is the better deal (price/quality) but is Intel better at getting higher frames?
- what if both were overclocked? Easier to oc the Ryzen than it is an Intel cpu?
- I'm thinking a AMD Ryzen 7 1800X with an X370 OC-ed hopefully to 4ghz.
Would an i5 overclock better/easier at a similar price?
