5600x / 5700x for purely gaming

[Zeebedy]

Hey guys,

still undecided on my complete build. If its for basic computing and solely gaming otherwise, will the 5600 hold out for a few years, or is it worth the extra £100 or so for the 8 core Ryzen?

 

[Zeebedy]

Thanks guys. Still torn.

 

[Zeebedy]

Totally agree with @Zefan

Put the diffrence into a better Gpu

yeah, was leaning towards this more I think guys!

found a good deal on a new 6700 xt, so think I will go down the route with 5600 and 6700xt.

Wise move.

Make sure you get a b550 motherboard not a b450 so you get pcie4 and doesn't need a bios update to take a 5600.

Which motherboard you looking at ?

I was looking at https://www.overclockers.co.uk/gigabyte-b550-gaming-x-v2-amd-am4-b550-atx-motherboard-mb-594-gi.html

would that be feasible Micky?

Yes that's fine but for an extra £10 you can get this which has better power delivery, vrm heatsinks and on board audio, which Is worth it imo.

Compare the 2 and see what you think
But depends on prices.

thank you!

off topic a bit. But for that cpu and GPU, what psu wattage would you suggest? I’m assuming that 80+ gold is definitely the way to go?
